About bonyt

I'm a lawyer in New York City. I've also always loved to tinker, and I used to work as a programmer and as a system administrator before I went to law school. =)

    Can't even get 4K on most streaming services on macOS now... It's not just Linux anymore. Netflix lets you in Safari[1]; Disney+ limits you to 1080p[2]; and Hulu limits you to 720p…
