  • With Netflix in a browser, you can bring up your streaming stats in the browser window as you’re watching something by pressing Ctrl + Shift+ Alt + D. It’ll give you several bits of information as an overlay, including what resolution the video is playing at. Next time you stream from them, give it a shot and see if you get anything above 720p. I know I never have and if you search online, you’ll find others with the same experience. In fact, I think Netflix might actually have this on a FAQ page somewhere…

    Found it! https://help.netflix.com/en/node/30081

    Scroll down to the OS selection and you can see what resolutions are supported by which browsers on Linux. Turns out Opera will give you 1080p for some reason, but the rest are capped at 720p.

    I really don’t get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn’t like Google anymore. That’s not the kind of clown I’d want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it’s really making me second guess the people here.

    Edit: @nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 's comment has provided info I didn’t have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn’t understanding, so now I get why there’s support for this.







  • Gboard wouldn’t need to take screenshots. It can see what you’re typing as you’re typing it. As far as what your contacts are saying, if they’re using Gboard, it’s the same for them. And even if Google doesn’t admit it, we all know they’re correlating every single data point about people they can get, which includes who talks to who. I wouldn’t be surprised if they know you’re talking to a particular person and tailors your suggestions to fit the conversation. This is an even stronger possibility if you’re using one of Google’s messaging apps.
