Certainly; the hard part is getting high quality captures from high quality sources.

Some people are happy to watch CAM-rips, others won't settle for less than full quality blu-rays.

On your update:

Ah, Linux. Forgot about that variable. Interesting to see you didn't have to mess with it much, that used to be a hassle though doable.

Linux gives you a bit more freedom to get around these blocks; so to counter this Netflix and many other streaming providers limit the resolution and bitrate available to Linux clients. Often they won't serve better than 720p to any linix client if I remember right, even with you paying the premium for 4k content.

Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.

There's TONS of that available...

TPB, YourBittorrent, Limetorrents, Badasstorrents.

Those are just the free torrent trackers I use as backups that all return results for that show.

I'm sure you can find more. Take a look at the pile of free trackers available in prowlarr or jackett.

There's even more on Usenet (my primary source).

You might have more luck with an AMD card, but Nvidia works closely with these DRM companies. It's baked into the graphics drivers that you can only get from Nvidia. Doesn't matter what recording software you use, they ALL have to go through the graphics drivers which will not release the video stream to them.

Without cracked drivers; you're SOL going down that route.

Here; watch Uri Tuchman build one 2 days go.

The guy's a maker with an incredibly unique style and a knack for bizarre but elegant creations.

DRM prevents that. Your graphics drivers will refuse to release the video info to the screen capture software leaving you with an empty black rectangle in the video. Otherwise a lot more people would do this.

You might be able to use either a capture card to grab the actual video signal being output by the machine; or a VM with the capture software running outside it on the host. I've never tried the latter, but I'm told it works.

While I haven't tried this myself; I've been told streaming to a web browser that's running in a VM will let you screen record the VM from the host machine.

If you try to just screen record the browser directly with screen cap software; the DRM + graphics drivers will prevent the recording from seeing the video, it'll just show as an empty black rectangle. Supposedly this doesn't work against a VM displayed to its host though.

I remember that one; asked to see it, then just pocketed it while his guards moved in-between them.

He'll probably seize one from someone he hates and claim presidential immunity for the crime.

The other one looks reasonably clean; I think that's just melted plastic from the lithium fire that was inside this person's ear.

/edit; ah shit...AC. Not DC.

For AC: use a single-throw dual-pole switch (a switch/button that closes two seprate circuits with one action). (S2 in this diagram)

For DC: You can use two diodes.

Switch1 triggers Coil1, S2 triggers C2, S3 triggers both.

I used coils for traditional bell relays, but any load will do.

You're right; I was mixing up ringmail and chainmail again.
