You're welcome, now stop being a loonix tard

>>61113943
Meanwhile, watching DVDs on Linux is still illegal. Literally.

Sure, it's a part of the DMCA that's not enforced but do you really want to pin your hopes on the government not jailing you?

Who the fuck has used dvds in the past decade?

>having opted for optical drives in 2017

>>61114077
No one for the past 5 years.

>>61114051
Why? What is the legal basis?

>>61113954
Linux has been working on ARM for quite awhile now, so I'd say it's a safe bet.

>>61114073
DVDs are encrypted. The encryption is trivial to bypass because we've had DVD players for decades now but bypassing the encryption is still illegal, which is why you generally speaking won't find much software that does it directly.

Seriously, go google it. /g/ has been over this hundreds of times in the overly repetitive "these numbers are illegal" threads before they devolve into CP defense threads.

I highly recommend that you look this up for yourself so you get a full view of the issue. Moral of the story though, don't laugh at windows for charging for something Linux can't legally do because reasons.

Thanks for reminding me that deep inside I don't want to deal with MSFT. I'll stick to my GNU/Linux and use the computer the way I like. I also don't want an OS that doesn't have the possibility to install programs using packages other than from some official store. This doesn't sound reasonable to me, even though probably has some advantages.

What the fuck is Microsoft even doing man? I can't wait for Apple to swoop in and get all the m$ refugees. Yeah sure a lot of Mac software costs money, but at least macOS includes a DVD player app by default.

>>61114135
Just saw that it is not illegal in germany, different copyright law.

Does it? That'd be odd since the last mac to include a superdrive is three hundred years old.

Just use a decent Windows that allows you to install programs outside the store

Who the fuck made it illegal to use VLC to play DVDs?

It's the cost you pay for supporting ancient hardware

>>61114410
Actually no, it's the people who made the DMCA.

>>61114012
haha, I cling to old tech for ages due to reasons, and even I don't need an internal optical drive either anymore. I only have one inside my desktop because I actually don't have space on my shelf to store it...

The reason I don't need an *internal* drive is because I got an oldschool external, though.

So basically if I buy a device with Windows 10 S then I can'd download any applications outside Windows Store, but the Home and Pro versions of Windows allow that? I think that the reasonable thing to do in this situation is just to buy a device that has a regular Windows 10. Do all surface devices come with Windows 10 S now?

>>61114552
Windows 10 pro upgrade is free on those devices

>>61114552
You are not the target market for S devices...

>>61114595
Really? Then there's no problem I think. Just upgrade to Pro and install VLC. Why would someone want to stay on S and not upgrade?
Don't tell me that for "security".

Watching DVD's without paying for the software is illegal.

There have been licensed DVD hardware and software that support Linux for over a decade. They cost on average as much as OP's pic.

Reminder that Windows is not free and Linux is, and that some """'"privileges""""" were never free to begin with.

>>61116865
Ah, yes, the "Microsoft will force everyone to upgrade to Windows 360/S/whatever, just you wait" poster

you can upgrade to win10 pro for free this year,so don't worry this year.

If you bough Windows, you have paid for a license to play DVDs before. Sure, you didn't pay 17 bucks, but still.

>>61121189
Can confirm that bypassing encryption is illegal in Switzerland. The trigger condition for whether it is a criminal offense/illegal is whether it's a DRM scheme.

Physical stores still with DVD shelves of recent movies.
I dont understand why 2017 movies still with DVD releases.

>>61114012

Because blu-rays disks are expensive.
Blu-rays in amazon cost USD $23 meanwhile the same movie in DVD cost USD $10 (or less)

A lot of people don't have blu-ray players and either won't buy them or can't afford to (think old people and the 1/3 of Americans on welfare). Many of the people who do have them use streaming services instead (think XBO and PS4), so the DVD market ends up being larger than the blu-ray market (DVDs sell 5-10x as many copies as bluray).

That 5-10x more sales stat is in the developed world too btw (USA, U.K., etc), I imagine it'd be even more slanted in favor of DVD everywhere else.
