From his video, it sounds like he found out because supporters asked him why his page was gone. 12:17 < aestetix> yep 12:18 < aestetix> I mean, the whole thing is so ironic. 12:18 < aestetix> As an analogy, I wanted Obama to shut down all the NSA surveillance, partly because it would be dangerous if the wrong person became president and had access to all that. 12:19 < aestetix> And still, there are many safeguards in place in case the sitting president goes insane and decides to launch nukes. 12:19 <@oddball> Oh, it's always ok when it's *their* guy that has the power, and the folks that are getting attacked are "the enemy." 13:07 < Evilpig_> DRM is bullshit.... 13:08 < Evilpig_> was trying to watch some shit on youtube and when I plug up a second monitor to put it on they disable the HD resolutions 13:08 < Evilpig_> best I can figure is maybe this other monitor is not hdcp compliant or something and it's blocking the better resolution? 13:28 <@oddball> huh, didn't know that Youtube had any DRM restrictions on it. 13:32 < Evilpig_> I just stumbled across it. was watching some shit and noticed when I moved it to my other monitor the resolution went to shit 13:33 < Evilpig_> all the hd options were gone from the quality selector, then I just said fuck it and unplugged my other monitor cause it was causing a little lag, I think and the 1080 option was back and it was clear again 13:46 <@oddball> huh 13:46 <@oddball> This under Windows? 13:46 <@oddball> I wonder if things change if you switch which monitor Windows considers the "primary" one. 13:50 < Evilpig_> osx 13:50 < Evilpig_> I should try the windows desktop 13:50 <@oddball> huh, didn't know you had gone to the Mac side. 13:51 < Evilpig_> been using it since my tumblr days 13:51 < Evilpig_> very handy for being on the command line all day 13:51 <@oddball> Same question. I think there's a "primary display" designation with osX. Been a while since I dual headed a mac, though. 13:52 < Evilpig_> I'll see if I can change it but since the primary is the builtin display I doubt it will let me 13:54 < Evilpig_> that's a weird way to set that but I've set the external monitor as primary now 13:55 < Evilpig_> options still missing 13:56 <@oddball> huh, it might be due to the cable. 14:17 <@oddball> The comments are actually worth reading https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/a6edg2/what_the_f/ 14:17 < PigBot> What the f.... : Unexpected (at www.reddit.com) http://tinyurl.com/yarvlcuu 20:20 < K`Tetch> yeah, there's hdcp on some youtube streams, if it's set up 20:20 < K`Tetch> there's not on any of mine, for instance 21:50 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-erchapsnacmqjdqw] has joined #se2600 --- Log closed Sun Dec 16 00:00:51 2018
