Apple is discontinuing the iPod

I do the same thing with Netflix. I used to get DVDs (then Blu-rays) but their quality was consistently bad (damaged discs) and their collection has turned to crap. So now I just stream Netflix (cuz the family would lynch me otherwise), but I buy a Blu-ray every month with the money I'm saving.

I buy Blu-Rays for films and shows I really like. Streaming services may be 4K, but the bitrate of a 4K stream is typically just a fraction of even a 1080p BD, and it really shows.

Yup. I tried to show my wife the difference, but she watches normal DVDs and thinks "they're fine..." while my eyes are bleeding.
