LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

Could try the *arr software.

Haha, do you ever feel like the last one to get the joke? I do sometimes.

I've used them for a very long time, maybe a decade if they have been around that long, could be a bit less. I've seen them referred to as the *arr suite/software many times. I didn't know there was a joke to get until you pointed it out, I'm still facepalming.

So you are not the last one.

In my defence, I'm not a native speaker, but still..

My friends and I have been joking too much about this naming scheme without even mentioning what appears to be the intentional meaning... I feel rather dumb.
