I’m not going to spend time investigating this but if someone does I thought it’s worth mentioning. When trying to access the linked page on HP’s website about vulns in their (formerly Samsung)¹ printer, Firefox tells me I must enable DRM to play audio or video on that page.

WTF? Superficially, looks like enshitification. All DRM is, but it’s extra perverse when it’s a precondition to infosec info about vulns.

¹ quite surprised HP acquired Samsung printers in 2016 and I am just now discovering this.

The only DRM Firefox understands "natively" is the HTML5 video DRM API (widevine by default)

Definitely stupid to use for informative videos available to the public
