Can we just stop the shitshow with DRM? I have NEVER encountered a TV show/movie that I could't rip using a torrent either on public p2p sites or a private tracker.

But I have seen a lot of my non-technical friends and family having a degraded experience, who pay for their streaming services every month. It was either because they were using a browser or device which was deemed unworthy of full quality streaming by the mighty DRM authors. And now the poor users of the TB-X505X will also have a degraded experience.

Case in point: I can't listen to spotify on my laptop if I've got my external monitors plugged in via USB-C. Not a problem with MP3s of course.

I've never had this issue. Spotify (on Mac) uses the computer's sound output setting (laptop speakers or monitor), unless you choose another destination with the Spotify 'device' option.

Might be because I use the web client? To be honest I haven't put any time trying to get it to work as I've got a simmering resentment about having to waste my time on things like this! On the plus side I've built up a good playlist on SoundCloud.
