Japan is BASED

that's cool

>>106974745 (OP)
All this because the kikes wouldn't give us movies on SD cards. There were so bloodthirsty for the perfect DRM that they doomed us all to keep the stupid fucking scratchable storage mediums alive past their expiration date.

>>106974745 (OP)
Stuff like this is unironically why they're now trying to flood Japan with curryniggers and niggers too.

Someone explain this because it's not making sense to me.

flash memory is expensive. optical media costs cents to stamp out millions of times.

blu rays would've been tolerable if they weren't 1 gb per disc and priced at $50 for 10 discs.

The delegation (to the European Jewish settlers in Shanghai) included Amshinover rabbi Shimon Sholom Kalish. The Japanese governor was curious and asked "Why do the Germans hate you so much?"

Without hesitation and knowing the fate of his community hung on his answer, Reb Kalish told the translator (in Yiddish): "Zugim weil wir senen orientalim—Tell him [the Germans hate us] because we are Orientals."

The governor, whose face had been stern throughout the confrontation, broke into a slight smile. In spite of the military alliance, he did not accede to the German demand and the Shanghai Jews were never handed over.

90% of people IRL would have been 100% content with a 2GB 1080p YIFY H264 RIP on a 2GB SD card. These DUMBFUCK kikes passed on a huge opportunity to make obscene amounts of money based on higher quality rips on different capacity SD cards all so they could cuck us all to death with DRM. Like WAYYY back in 2012 it could have gone something like this:

2GB SD card movie (yify quality): $10 for the SD card + $20 for the movie
4GB SD card movie (youtube quality): $20 for the SD card + $30 for the movie
8GB SD card movie (95+ VMAF): $40 for the SD card + $40 for the movie

The kikes would have gotten their blood money and the consumers would now have SD cards that fit in their wallets that they could share with friends/family without the need for a fucking internet connection or bulky blu-ray player that not everyone can afford/wants.

>>106975111
you're fucking stupid. discs costs cents to produce and you have ultra hd. your genius suggestion is reduce the quality, in order to use lower capacity flash.. which will still cost multiple times more than stamping out an ultra hd disc for cents. motherfucker read a fucking book nigger jesus fucking christ. it makes no financial sense at all.

>>106974953
Japanese will take measures to not get jewed even if it affects his quality of life, opposite for Americans

>>106975111
YIFY is fucking terrible
I'll take a good old DVD over a YIFY rip any day.

>>106975034
y u no likey?
optical drives are based and retro pilled
also cheap immutable storage
good fukken luck ransomwaring a bunch of dvds/bds

Nips are unironically the "I need less" group. They also don't like the possibility of getting locked out of something they bought, for any reason at all. Fuck having to remember your credentials to login, 2fa, otp, etc. Just gotta insert the disk and use it.
Unofficially they might lend some of the stuff they buy as well, they're likely to buy their own copy if they liked it.

>>106975183
>>106975211
YES, movies would have cost more money on SD cards but the FREEDOM to choose the quality level and take your movie in your fucking wallet and have it be playable in infinitely more places without an internet connection would have benefited everyone. The poorfags would have purchased the $30 YIFY 2GB SD card and later for like $10 used. The richfags would have payed more money for the higher quality 4/8GB $50/$80 SD card movies and had bragging rights that they didn't have to settle for YIFY quality. Meanwhile Shekelstine is rolling in big money.

This relentless desire to control humans via DRM like lab rats is what caused YIFY rips to skyrocket in popularity and cause another shoah. Piracy has exploded in the last decade and it will only get worse as region blocking intensifies. It's so bad that it's spilling over into the real world and causing people to go back to DVD/blu-ray as they fear internet shutdowns.

Anyway my point is humanity as a whole has suffered terrible consequences because of this DRM craze. Kikes are ironically hurting the industry they are trying to protect.

>>106974745 (OP)
It says more about how tech illiterate they are.
They could easily recycle the old case and drive.

I mean it's like 1/4 of their population in the greater Tokyo area

So basically

>>106974745 (OP)
It is not that based as it seems to be.
Keeping media in physical form is just another way of gatekeeping. Japs do know shit that their media has a reasonable value outside of Nihon shores but they still refuse to cope with fact that just at point of going fully digital average pantysniffer may discover ultimate joy of pirate's life and may actually think about the real value of golden rule "piracy offers a service"

Only a few months ago a bought an extra BW-16D1HT internal drive so I could have a spare. I just remembered that I intended to buy another because one spare isn't enough for something this important, but now it's out of stock everywhere. No other internal Bluray drives still made AFAIK.

>>106976292
According to the article the Japanese are throwing their internal drives into the garbage and replacing them with external drives.
So maybe you should try dumpster diving.

Or just accept that external drives are now the norm.
And they might actually be an upgrade if you can place it in an easy to access place while your PC is stowed away in a cabinet.

Do the Japanese go out of the way to install AACS decryption plugin which is technically piracy?

>>106974953
the japanese consumer wants to have goods and sees spending as merely a means to it

It's their cursed duality, they are professional griftting communists unable to see the bigger picture. They can't see other people as equals, only slaves so they get blindsided when people revolt and kick them out of their country for the Nth time.

To them, you an I are ATM machines. That's it.

>>106974941
Their population's birthrate is below replacement, so the average age is increasing with every passing year, the point of Korean, Chinese, and swarthy immigrants is to make up for the shrinking number of youth in the native population

Japan is so peaceful they actually hunto down people uploading spoilers and ban people taking screenshots on their phone from manga apps,

I might have the chance to go live in Japan, but man I cant imagine livng without my god given right to download anime and not give money to crunchyroll

>>106978180
Japan birthrate is actually now stable according to new studies, S Korea and Spain and are actually the worst ones now,
Japan just has a shiton of old people,

the entire world has a inverted pyramid with old people now ruling over 4-5 generations and not letting go of power, Japan will invert this pyramid first than everyone else apparently, as long as they escape the next 10-15 years of western bs, I can see Japan actually giving us the promised cool cyberpunk era

>>106974745 (OP)
as far as consumers go that's a good idea
but they should be drm free discs

>>106975211
yea but normies (not autist) can't tell the difference

>>106974745 (OP)
Do the Japanese still not build their own PCs? There are plenty of cases with optical drive support. One of the biggest players in BD drives is Pioneer, even.

>>106974745 (OP)
the only reason they "value" physical media is because they have incredibly strict piracy laws and for shit like idol music releases a lot of times ticket purchases are tied to purchasing the blu ray of their latest release or some dumb shit like that. it's a dystopia and it's only going to get worse once it becomes Jaipur 2.0 with all of the Indians they finna let migrate to their country

>>106978897
no one is manufacturing blu ray drives anymore

>>106974929

nobody is this retarded
as if a movie could survive years on a sd card without horrible bitrot

Buying physical media is way less consumerist than paying for a billion different subscriptions.

>>106979048
just like with DVD, the BD license will need to go public, or someone will make a equivalent and the physical amrket will move there as longs as it is cheap

>>106974745 (OP)
Serious question though, why are they so dumb?
I mean their average IQ is supposedly 2 points higher than my state but they act like retarded children and the "cultural differences" cope isn't cutting it anymore.
>>106975111
You're an idiot, I'm not paying $50 for a copy of a movie in youtube quality in any year.

>>106978897
Its not that cheap in Japan I believe, but you can still get BD and DVD drives

>>106979280
>as longs as it is cheap
the physical market is done. theres no more "cheaper" than digital. nothing is coming after blu ray

>>106979339
>heres no more "cheaper" than digital
making physical is cheaper and more ecological than mantaining a 24/7 running server farm that will eternally consume energy, water and maintenance, stop believing lazy 1st worlders that need to minmax their insulin and cant change a disc

>>106979417
>linux is very english centric
Everything else they can deal with to some degree, though customization is seen as unnecessary, but the English barrier basically makes sure no real adoption will ever happen. Linux is seen as something for people with a CS degree or scientists and given the time it takes to adopt something new there, that will be the case for at least another 2 decades

>>106979417
>linux is extremely internet-dependent and antithetical to the concept of independent units of software you could keep on a physical disk and expect to run in years later without having to recompile

Hello stupid town.

>linux is very english centric

The only thing you got right. Thank you for your input gwailo piggu.

Are Onlyfans and Netflix etc not popular in Japan since they are DRM digital goods that you can't even download to watch offline or on any device?

>>106974745 (OP)
Japan really is a country of boomers.

>>106979339
>the physical market is done. theres no more "cheaper" than digital.
digital? you mean streaming, you fucking faggot. and yes, producing discs is far cheaper. it's like you retarded fucking niggers on this board think bandwidth and electricity costs $0 because that's what you pay to live in your mother's caravan. people are sick of low quality streams and would prefer to buy things to own and not be controlled and lied to by corporations and fucking morons such as yourself.

>>106979615
They use Amazon prime. Haven't heard Netflix being mentioned very often but they watch anime so maybe my sample pool is heavily biased. Never checked the differences in available content.
They use fanbox and ci-en instead of only fans. I've actually never seen anyone using only fans or patreon

>>106979417
>FOSS is perceived as some gay western SJW thing
You know how it could stop being perceived that way? If it stopped being that.
>>106979594

They couldn't.
When your software stops fucking working if you update your OS after a while, that's shitty computing. FOSSfags need to FUCKING learn about standards.

>>106979897
>When your software stops fucking working if you update your OS after a while, that's shitty computing
That's windows for them, auto updates are always enabled. Some literally burn incense whenever they are forced to update. They end up buying other devices if they can avoid dealing with a pc thanks to them but it isn't always a possibility.

>>106978897
itd take a year for a 70 yo samurai master to pull off such a feat like jap denim or pretty much anything else and would cost you thousands of dollars plus tip

I guess second hand trading actually makes sense in Japan though because people usually take care of things and high trust society vs the scammer and criminal infested marketplaces of the west who make the whole second hand experience miserable and not worth the effort.

>>106974929
You're so full of shit it's hilarious. You can already buy preloaded cards with music from certain companies, so the idea has already been explored. Secondly, the SD spec already allows implementation of DRM so that has nothing to do with it. It's all down to cost and complexity. A plastic disc with a microscopic amount of aluminum is always going to be cheaper and faster to produce that some tempermental storage standard. Then you get into the issue of FAT which couldn't even hold an HD quality movie until somewhat recently without splitting the file, which means more work to come up with another standard. It's only recently that the cards themselves have even become cheap enough to make this possible. Your pedantic freedomfagging doesn't divorce you from the laws of economics.

>>106974929

American lifestyle is an enigma. They have pretty much all the resources in the world available to them yet their quality of life isn't that better off compared to other countries and in certain areas it's even worse than third world shitholes (fentanyl zombies roaming the streets, school shootings, etc.)
