When HDCP gives me issues trying to view content legally, I just pirate it. It’s a “solution” that only hurts consumers for a problem they can never solve.
I used to download the cracked versions of games I owned. Didn't need the CD/DVD, skipped the half dozen screens of corporate branding, assets on hard drive loaded so much faster. It wasn't just "pirating", it was a completely different experience. Edit: forgot to mention that back in the day you got more malware from the DRM schemes than you did from the pirates.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I think my favourite DRM bulls--t story was back when publishers tried doing machine activation limits. EA's Spore came with three. But that wasn't three computers, it was three installs period, even on the same computer. I can't recall the exact details, but there was some bug that kept corrupting installs. So people would have to keep reinstalling the game to fix the issue. Then they'd run up against the activation limit and get locked out of the game they'd legally purchased. Spore very quickly became the most pirated game of 2008 once the hackers cracked it.
@@xanderblackstar8236 In theory you can only watch blue-rays on HDCP certified devices (even windows should force it on, if you try to play the disk without ripping it first). If your TV/Monitor does not support it you should only get a black screen.
@@EvanOfTheDarkness thus why tools were made to just strip HDCP away from the disc and let you reburn the disk at home for you. It assumes you have a legal copy of said disc. To me HDCP caused more issues on the consumer side than i think they wanted it too. I do assume if you are removing HDCP you also own the copy of the video otherwise it is illegal to do so as it is there to protect whatever the production company put it there to protect.
@@yumri4 I completely agree, that HDCP is garbage, but the badge is there (on TVs) so the consumer can know it'll work with his blue-ray player. Although I doubt that most people know what it does.
Yeah my little HDMI splitter device thing doesn’t output HDCP, that enables my capture device to record literally whatever I want, which is how my RGB light sync system works. (th-cam.com/video/4JGexGEBFvk/w-d-xo.html)
Upc box plugged in my capture card: the software is like: blablabla, multimonitor system is not allowed, blablabla Insert a splitter, so I can watch things directly on my monitor as well: the software is like: where do you want to watch the content?
Sadly I can't find one that will carry the newer signals with all the insane features and resolutions. I also can't seem to find switches that do that either.
Technically the makers of those violate some kind of contract. They just don't care, because they just buy the chips from someone else, and that's the company to get in trouble.
I hate HDCP so much. It's another one of those "anti-piracy" measures that only punishes people that buy the content. I have literally had to pirate movies I physically own just to get them to work, and HDCP's caused all kinds of completely unrelated issues for me on PS4.
Makes me angry every time I think that instead of HDMI they could have just made SDI a consumer standard. But no, they had to ram HDCP down our throats.
It's really fun, when you have a 4k monitor with hdcp 1.4, and they decide that you now need hdcp 2.2. Not to mention, that the hdcp versions are neither in the monitor's product page/specifications, nor were they easily visible on any streaming service for the longest time. Now you just have to decide wether you want to pirate or spoof, either way hdcp doesn't help the publishers.
PC Master Race have their open DisplayPort standard. HDCP/HDMI is the shackle of Console Peasantry after analog composite/ AV cables are phased out. Congratulations, peasants, you played yourselves.
The idea was to add DRM to the whole chain, from the media (blue-ray) to the display (hdmi). But with blue-rays DRM failing so fast, HDCP never actually did anything useful. What it actually *does,* is preventing anyone from selling something like a VCR for HDMI - at least legally (they could sell it without HDPC, but it'd be near useless so nobody would buy it).
@@Aereto I'm sure you know this already, but G-SYNC only works with DisplayPort. The Monitor I'm currently using is a G-SYNC monitor from HP, complete with an 'Nvidia G-SYNC' sticker on the front. ...and yet they deigned it only worthy of an HDMI cable in the box. Cheapskates. (It's a pretty good monitor though, even it is is only 1080p)
I think that’s pretty effective though. You don’t see just anyone setting up a bootleg business anymore just because they have a dvd drive in their computer or a vhs player at home. You still get heavy torrent sites, but it’s not as easy even with it being just a few more steps.

USB is a brilliant invention. Back in the day at uni I had to do a PowerPoint presentation. It was too big to fit on a floppy disk. Although I had a CD burner, none of the uni PC's had CD-ROM drives. I wasn't allowed to open up a uni PC to add my hard drive. USB hadn't been invented. Laptops were phenomenally expensive and underpowered, so no one had them. I ended up having to carry my full tower PC in on the bus to do the presentation. I'm glad those days are over.
So I thought this was going to talk about how drivers are distributed on windows or the standards for input devices that are connected via usb and printers, where before you needed drivers and now devices seem to mostly just work when you connect them to windows. I'd really like a video on this topic.
there is an error in the bluetooth history it was not founded only by ibm and ericsson (the basic research on an universal wireless communication was) but bluetooth itself was founded by 5 companies( IBM and Ericsson were founding signatories, total of five members: Ericsson, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba and IBM)
As far as I know the European Union 🇪🇺 pushed phone manufacturers a few years back to standardize their charger plugs so that they would be interchangeable.
The great thing about USB is you have to try to plug it in each way about 20 times before it finally fits. And by then the connector is broken from trying to plug it in the wrong way around so many times that it doesn't work anyway.
For the USB one i am still of the mind set the serial connector is better. 1 more room inbetween the pins so you can have electrical singals be input faster without interference 2 more pins so you can send more data. On USB you only have 4 pins. 1 for data 2 for data the last for ground. The serial connector in this video had 3 sets of 4 pins so in theory you could have 3x the amount of data sent at the same time. 2 Now we are also sending power over USB having 3 pins for power will make the output per pin have to be less instead of sending it all out through 1 pin 3 having 6 pins for data instead of 2 pins for data will mean more possible bandwidth 4 more pins for ground some could also be used as control pins instead of ground pins as it wouldn't be an exact copy of the USB pinout. Control pins are used in higher speed connections to not have to use a data pin to do the speed control when one side is able to go faster or only able to go slower than the other. Might sound useless after the connection is made but is needed in the process of making 10Gbps or faster connections. So a data pin is used in USB instead of another pin to do that job. 5 IF we standardized the serial connector onto one of them with 12 pins instead of making a new one with only 4 pins it would have also had that screw in screw out locking thing that holds it in place. I get people like the convenience of not having to screw in everything anymore but it helps for devices that are to be plugged in once and left plugged in.
Hey can you make a fast video about putting the gpu and monitor settings at its best performance, FPS and resolution. I built my computer for the use of autocade, sap2000, revit, and other programs that I would like to have the best visuals for 3D designs. I want to see every contours and details, but at the same time I will play games such as warzone, fort, apex, etc. I don’t mind losing gaming performance or any other aspect if it means getting amazing results for autocade and such, but I would want to get the best of both worlds if possible.
"why tech automatically works?" meanwhile youtube deciding to load this and every video in 240p instead of 1440p I constantly have to switch to (the internet is fast enough to load it in real time)
Serial port mouses without wheels but with real three buttons, and with the always dirty ball instead of fancy optical sensors. Printers were on parallel port, and sometimes you had to play around with the irqs and dmas to get the damn thing work.
I used to have issues with some of my Blu-rays not being able to play until I started using DVD Anywhere or DVDFab. They do away with any copy protection as well as regions on both DVD and Blu-rays. To prevent any legal actions I have kept the original discs. I have a dual VHS/DVD recorder that on the back says that it will not copy copyrighted VHS tapes to DVD. However curiosity got the best of me and tried 3 different VHS tapes which said that the had copy protection on them. I copied all 3 without errors. The picture quality on the appear better than the quality on the original tape to my eyes. There were copy protection schemes on CDs that were useless as one of my CD-ROM drives would rip the music tracks off from them regardless of the scheme. I still have that drive in an IDE to USB external case. I know that most people prefer streaming these days. I still prefer my music locally that way I don't have to rely on an Internet connection to hear music. I have over 16,000 12 inch vinyl singles dating from the late 1970's til now. Back during the Napster era instead of ripping the vinyl to MP3 I would download from Napster only what I had on vinyl. I have since replaced those 128 kbps files to 320 kbps files from my own collection of vinyl. Bottom line is that no matter what copy-protection scheme that the industry comes up with hackers come up with away of defeating it.
Yah, HDCP is a joke most the time. It will give me trouble when I connect to to my tele to legitimately watch it ... but if I connect it to my capture card and OBS, every single device has played perfectly fine, letting me watch my content on my computer, and record if I so choose. (And yes, the playback does work, the video files contain the video and audio, so it's useful as a "dvr".)
Thank god for all this, my biggest fear in the 90s was trying to figure out how to set up audio in games >WHATS YOUR BAUD RATE My what?! >BAUD RATE WHAT IS IT errr *Guesses* >OK...HOW MANY CHANNELS Wh...what?!- How many more of these are there >like 12 Can I keep guessing? >lol sure but it'll never work FU
The irony of HDCP. Companies still think they lose "a lot" of money when something is pirated and think they can fight pirates. Nothing has changed since tape recorders. People will pay as long as it is convenient and affordable enough e.g. video and audio streaming services
HDCP doesn't prevent priracy in any way shape or form but rather annoys paying customers and drives them to piracy.... In my book HDMI can just die, especially considering how they keep their standard shut and prevent proper open source implementations of it...
Riley 4 the win, i just now watched this Intel 5k extreme tech upgrade, Right before this video pop up, and damn good Minimalistic one, just like this video!
Speaking on standards, this text you're reading, as all the others on this webpage are using the ASCII character standard. All data is actually numbers, and the ASCII (and ansi) determine which number is each letter. Before that, computers would use different numbers for each character.
Hell, I remember when USB C and three was /supposed to be) connected so that USB C always was USB 3 or higher. Then some companies decided that there should be slow USB C connectors (USB 2.1 speed) as well.
At least back in the day if it didn't fit, it wasn't compatible. Now everything is USB-C, everything fits everything, and if it doesn't work, good luck figuring out why. You took the most promising connector ever made and f***ed it up worse than anything we've ever seen.
Well, the old PS/2 keyboard/mouse connectors stayed around for a looong time after their obsolescence (actually probably too long), so I would bet PCs and laptops will have USB A for quite some time for compatibility.
Apple used USB on all its products starting in 1998, which also helped get USB popular. USB was sorta hit and miss on Windows machines prior to Windows 2000 , or XP for the general consumer market. I was a Dos/Windows person back then but do recognize Apple for pushing the Standard forward.
@@CasepbX I used it with Win 95 rel 2 but it was spotty with what devices worked correctly. I had a retail computer store all thru the 90's and early USB was annoying until Win 2000 and then XP. Prior to Win 2000 it sometimes worked and other times didn't. Serial was still much more stable and reliable until XP.
Video topic request: so what's happening with USB 4? I believe its been out since last year, but I don't see any mention of it in new motherboards, etc.
In contrast to prior USB protocol standards, USB4 requires USB-C connectors, and for power delivery, it requires support of USB PD. In contrast to USB 3.2, it allows tunneling of DisplayPort and PCI Express. The architecture defines a method to share a single high-speed link with multiple end device types dynamically that best serves the transfer of data by type and application. USB4 products must support 20 Gbit/s throughput and can support 40 Gbit/s throughput, but due to tunneling even nominal 20 Gbit/s can result in higher effective data rates in USB4, compared to USB 3.2, when sending mixed data. The USB4 specification is based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol specification. Support of interoperability with Thunderbolt 3 products is optional for USB4 hosts and USB4 peripheral devices, and is required for USB4 hubs on their downward facing ports and for USB4-based docks on their downward and upward facing ports.
While USB did help in making pcs more accessible, honestly i think it was more from the mobo adopting so many things that used to be a standalone card then combined with pcie. This way you get nearly everything out of just having a mobo. And if you want anything dedicated then you just buy that. But for the life of me i can only think of 3 dedicated pc cards. A gpu, a sound card and a nic. And a lot of mobos have nics built in now too so really it can come down to just 2 cards. Sure there are some nvme ssds that are in the form of a card that uses a pcie slot but thats more of a specialty thing. This made pcs hella accessible more than anything else. I mean case an point is the mini itx mobo. It just has 1 pcie slot where you use that for your gpu and nearly everything else is built in to the mobo. Back in the 90s and earlier it was a pain in the ass. a mobo was pretty empty and everything had to be installed on it. cpu, ram, gpu, sound card, nic, l2 cache, printer cards, input cards (kb/m). It was way more involved back in the day. Its easy as shit now. But not because of usb. USB definitly helped don't get me wrong but one could argue now a days usb is becoming its own worse enemies with terrible naming schemes, every one is using something different. Type A, micro b, and C are still being used. Not to mention 3.1 gen 2. Like seriously make this shit better. There are as many combinations with the generation of the usb as with the connectors for it as there were different plugs back in the day. There needs to be a standard for the standard.
USB-C is deffo the future, but the fact that companies are pushing USB-C Only too soon is a bit of an issue. The company I IT for use a certain seller for mobile equipment and they already cut USB-A chargers

USB only took off in the mainstream once Apple made it the only way to connect to an iMac. Apple helped develop the USB C connector and was very early in making it standard on all their laptops.

Just remembering the times before USB makes me feel old as shit... I was a little kid then, but still.
Ahhh those old times !! some mouses Even used the serial Port!
Serial port mouses without wheels but with real three buttons, and with the always dirty ball instead of fancy optical sensors. Printers were on parallel port, and sometimes you had to play around with the irqs and dmas to get the damn thing work.
2:35 hi from Lebanon
Is it just me or did they actually used a non clickbait title like old days
"Why Tech Automatically Works" as a title without the thumbnail is pretty clickbaity imho.
@@Appoxo Now when you said it. Yeah makes sense. But less clickbaity compared to other recent titles.
How old are we talking here? Cause a couple years ago they were doing some pretty clickbaity videos 😂
I used to have issues with some of my Blu-rays not being able to play until I started using DVD Anywhere or DVDFab. They do away with any copy protection as well as regions on both DVD and Blu-rays. To prevent any legal actions I have kept the original discs.
I have a dual VHS/DVD recorder that on the back says that it will not copy copyrighted VHS tapes to DVD. However curiosity got the best of me and tried 3 different VHS tapes which said that the had copy protection on them. I copied all 3 without errors. The picture quality on the appear better than the quality on the original tape to my eyes.
There were copy protection schemes on CDs that were useless as one of my CD-ROM drives would rip the music tracks off from them regardless of the scheme. I still have that drive in an IDE to USB external case. I know that most people prefer streaming these days. I still prefer my music locally that way I don't have to rely on an Internet connection to hear music.
I have over 16,000 12 inch vinyl singles dating from the late 1970's til now. Back during the Napster era instead of ripping the vinyl to MP3 I would download from Napster only what I had on vinyl. I have since replaced those 128 kbps files to 320 kbps files from my own collection of vinyl.
Bottom line is that no matter what copy-protection scheme that the industry comes up with hackers come up with away of defeating it.

Yah, HDCP is a joke most the time. It will give me trouble when I connect to to my tele to legitimately watch it ... but if I connect it to my capture card and OBS, every single device has played perfectly fine, letting me watch my content on my computer, and record if I so choose. (And yes, the playback does work, the video files contain the video and audio, so it's useful as a "dvr".)
Thank god for all this, my biggest fear in the 90s was trying to figure out how to set up audio in games
>WHATS YOUR BAUD RATE
My what?!
>BAUD RATE WHAT IS IT
errr *Guesses*
>OK...HOW MANY CHANNELS
Wh...what?!- How many more of these are there
>like 12
Can I keep guessing?
>lol sure but it'll never work
FU
The irony of HDCP. Companies still think they lose "a lot" of money when something is pirated and think they can fight pirates. Nothing has changed since tape recorders. People will pay as long as it is convenient and affordable enough e.g. video and audio streaming services
That is one crispy edged key. Not a wisp to be seen.

HDCP doesn't prevent priracy in any way shape or form but rather annoys paying customers and drives them to piracy....
In my book HDMI can just die, especially considering how they keep their standard shut and prevent proper open source implementations of it...
Riley 4 the win, i just now watched this Intel 5k extreme tech upgrade, Right before this video pop up, and damn good Minimalistic one, just like this video!
3:27 Uh.. fogive me if I'm wrong but I dont think that's what HDCP stands for. Isn't it Hi-bandwidth Digital Content Protection?
Ha! a few seconds later @ 4:02 and there it is and there it is right on the screen.
I'm so old that I remember the days before the USB standard. It way mayhem I tell you!
Speaking on standards, this text you're reading, as all the others on this webpage are using the ASCII character standard.
All data is actually numbers, and the ASCII (and ansi) determine which number is each letter.
Before that, computers would use different numbers for each character.
Yaye! Lebanon is on a tech channel!
Can you buy non-HDCP-compliant cables?
Educational across all platforms Great Job
Why do I get the blue screen with the :( face everytime I play without my charger?
Same thing at loading cables for Handys in the 1990s

"the usb logo on a product also helps consumers understand the product will simply work a certain way"
then USB 3 happened ....
Hell, I remember when USB C and three was /supposed to be) connected so that USB C always was USB 3 or higher. Then some companies decided that there should be slow USB C connectors (USB 2.1 speed) as well.
I thought this video was going to be about drivers
I really need to learn more about how drivers work
Is "Vay-suh" Canadian for VESA?
Standards(?): *BLOODY HIPSTER DETECTED*
At least back in the day
if it didn't fit, it wasn't compatible.
Now everything is USB-C, everything fits everything,
and if it doesn't work, good luck figuring out why.
You took the most promising connector ever made and f***ed it up worse than anything we've ever seen.
It's just gonna be all USB4 Type C from now on hopefully
Well, the old PS/2 keyboard/mouse connectors stayed around for a looong time after their obsolescence (actually probably too long), so I would bet PCs and laptops will have USB A for quite some time for compatibility.

HDCP is also trivially bypassed so that worked out well for them

The bluetooth history is strange. I believe its earlier as I recall the first bluetooth applications was for phones to connect to hp iPaq.
Very Nice Story 👍
First HDMI did not support audio

Apple used USB on all its products starting in 1998, which also helped get USB popular. USB was sorta hit and miss on Windows machines prior to Windows 2000 , or XP for the general consumer market. I was a Dos/Windows person back then but do recognize Apple for pushing the Standard forward.
I remember first using USB with WinXP.
@@CasepbX I used it with Win 95 rel 2 but it was spotty with what devices worked correctly. I had a retail computer store all thru the 90's and early USB was annoying until Win 2000 and then XP. Prior to Win 2000 it sometimes worked and other times didn't. Serial was still much more stable and reliable until XP.
Video topic request: so what's happening with USB 4? I believe its been out since last year, but I don't see any mention of it in new motherboards, etc.
Is it incorporated in USB-C by any chance?
In contrast to prior USB protocol standards, USB4 requires USB-C connectors, and for power delivery, it requires support of USB PD. In contrast to USB 3.2, it allows tunneling of DisplayPort and PCI Express. The architecture defines a method to share a single high-speed link with multiple end device types dynamically that best serves the transfer of data by type and application. USB4 products must support 20 Gbit/s throughput and can support 40 Gbit/s throughput, but due to tunneling even nominal 20 Gbit/s can result in higher effective data rates in USB4, compared to USB 3.2, when sending mixed data.
The USB4 specification is based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol specification. Support of interoperability with Thunderbolt 3 products is optional for USB4 hosts and USB4 peripheral devices, and is required for USB4 hubs on their downward facing ports and for USB4-based docks on their downward and upward facing ports.

I'm happy he mentioned HTML as a standard programming language
🧐 He didn't say "programming language" (because it isn't, HTML is for document structure)
That's the joke
Please mention the engineer who invented the USB, Ajay Bhatt, one of the most path breaking inventions in the computer industry imho
Floppy Disks were amazing back then!!! Only the real OGs will remember!!!
Hdcp is so good that i cant legaly watch 4k movies on my old 4k Monitor, even thoug my pc does in fact support it in the needed Version
HDCP was the bane tech call I would get when working in Resi Tech Support for an ISP long ago...hated em haha!

While USB did help in making pcs more accessible, honestly i think it was more from the mobo adopting so many things that used to be a standalone card then combined with pcie. This way you get nearly everything out of just having a mobo. And if you want anything dedicated then you just buy that. But for the life of me i can only think of 3 dedicated pc cards. A gpu, a sound card and a nic. And a lot of mobos have nics built in now too so really it can come down to just 2 cards. Sure there are some nvme ssds that are in the form of a card that uses a pcie slot but thats more of a specialty thing. This made pcs hella accessible more than anything else. I mean case an point is the mini itx mobo. It just has 1 pcie slot where you use that for your gpu and nearly everything else is built in to the mobo.
Back in the 90s and earlier it was a pain in the ass. a mobo was pretty empty and everything had to be installed on it. cpu, ram, gpu, sound card, nic, l2 cache, printer cards, input cards (kb/m). It was way more involved back in the day. Its easy as shit now. But not because of usb. USB definitly helped don't get me wrong but one could argue now a days usb is becoming its own worse enemies with terrible naming schemes, every one is using something different. Type A, micro b, and C are still being used. Not to mention 3.1 gen 2. Like seriously make this shit better. There are as many combinations with the generation of the usb as with the connectors for it as there were different plugs back in the day. There needs to be a standard for the standard.
@Techquickie options
It works! Thank you!
USB-C is deffo the future, but the fact that companies are pushing USB-C Only too soon is a bit of an issue. The company I IT for use a certain seller for mobile equipment and they already cut USB-A chargers
yo, I like this little infotainment piece. a perfect type of video for a pre-recorded, scripted video you guys can bank at the end of the week(end) and have ready for Monday so you don't have to struggle to record on Monday every week. ;)
PS. LOVED the '17 videos in a week' video. seriously awesome. I would love more behind-the-scenes sausage-making stuff. ;)
"Standards"? what's that? Don't remember ever having any. Are they any good?
Universal standards?
Apple has left the chat.
oh yeah, totally. they're just greedy.
USB only took off in the mainstream once Apple made it the only way to connect to an iMac. Apple helped develop the USB C connector and was very early in making it standard on all their laptops.
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
