  • That’s not the point. You specifically may not own a Blu-Ray player, but there have been 280 million non-dedicated devices from a single company sold that play them. That’s not counting other consoles like Xbox One and Series X, computers with BD drives, and dedicated BD players.

    Seems like a far cry from your statement that nobody owns one. Even as hyperbole, it’s just false.


  • It’s worth noting disk video is usually uncompressed

    Just being a bit pedantic here, but they’re much less compressed since their source is generally the original recordings. Anything you get from streaming services is much more heavily compressed, and anything you’re likely to pirate is compressed from DVD or Blu-ray sources (or worse, they can be compressed from already compressed streaming sources.)








  • I would look for the next generation of GPU if you can find it. You should be able to find an RX 7600 for about the same price, and would get better performance and longer expected useful lifetime from it.

    The one-PC-two-users thing is indeed more of a gimmick than an actually useful prospect. You can find videos of it being done, but it’s really not as nice as one would hope for.
