I always forget they ever made DVDs, I don't think they ever did that outside of USA.

No, the last time everyone did that Netflix was created, which has nearly killed the piracy for most people.
We're just going back to the basics.
Simple auth was honestly one of the upsides for me.
Plex claims to have an offline mode, but I could never got it to work, for some reason.
And I got pissed off one too many times when my Internet went down and I couldn't watch anything from the NAS a few meters away...
What's better, exactly?
I switched years ago from Plex to Jellyfin, and while the UI wasn't quite as nice, everything else is better.
And I don't have to pay to use HW transcoding on my own hardware...
Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.
Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.
Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP's infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can't access non-approved websites.
Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges
$3 ink from a bodega
That's actually a fair price for 3rd party replacement.
I used to work at a computer shop, and people only ever bought the cheapest available cartridges.
We also used to do printer repair, do you know how many printers had to come in because of shitty ink?
The answer is zero.
And anyway, in your example the printer manufacturer has no business tracking your ink usage, whether it's by spying on you and phoning home, or recording this info in the printer's memory.
People being excited about getting spam from a scammer.
What a time to be alive...
It wouldn't.
USA tried to keep the encryption all to itself in the past by classifying it as munitions, it didn't work out.
And criminals don't care if encryption is banned anyway.

That's a very charitable way of looking at DRM.

Company's PR dept saying "we didn't do it" is not proof of anything.
If they're not blocking 3rd party cartridges, why even implement DRM?
Do they have so much extra money that they're developing features they're not planning to use just because they're bored?
Sure, but this just gives the publisher a bigger cut, developers and gamers will see absolutely no difference, as usual.
