Manufacturers who sell TVs in the UK & want the TV to run BBC iPlayer (BBC Public Service live/on-demand TV app) have to get their TVs certified by us. There's a large suite of tests & technical requirements - a colleague just pointed out to me that those docs are public:

TVs on UK sale now & marked with the iPlayer logo must support:
* TLS 1.2+
* Mutual TLS (client certs)
* HTTP/2+
* Service Workers
& lots more...those just caught my eye

For different reasons I use a self hosted VPN located outside UK.

#TheGuardian recently began nagging me to go to the European edition but so far that's all. Presumably due to this change.

I use Brave browser so don't see ads.

Using a self hosted or #Mullvad #VPN is important these days, particularly in UK which is a surveillance state.

BBC #iPlayer also loves to abuse #privacy, recently stopped letting me use it to see what's on (not just blocking from watching content).

Started watching this 12-part series from the BBC called ‘Rise of the Nazis’. Interesting stuff. And, in parts, a little concerning about some of the similarities with today's modern-day political landscape in some regions of the world.

If you are not in the UK, you'll need a VPN and a free BBC account to watch on iPlayer. Just remember to press “Yes” when it asks if you have a TV license. :tiktok_laugh:
