Blu-rays and Netflix work just fine on my old laptop that doesn't support secure enclaves.

The onus is on us to make sure that a future where we are locked out of the devices we own does not come to pass.

4k Bluray requires Kaby Lake or newer (I don't know whether it works on Ryzen or not) and HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2.

We're not even getting anything over 720p on Linux.

1080p requires Internet Explorer, Edge, or Safari on Windows or MacOS¹.

4k in the webapp requires Edge in addition to the hardware requirements wolfgke lists.

Hah, and people still calling me a pirate for watching 4K MKV movies... under a SandyBridge.

PSP is different than secure enclaves.
This is my biggest frustration with all of this stuff. Every hardware feature with a word like "security" in it is now tantamount to a new Intel ME or "trusted path" implementation.
My favorite is how PSP is confused with DASH, the thing that actually does remote management.
Um, PSP implements a secure enclave capability, so no that’s not correct?
Secure Enclaves on AMD and Intel typically refers to SME/SEV and SGX.
