Another blow to Blu-ray: Samsung will no longer make Blu-ray players for the US
Streaming, format wars, and declining physical media sales likely played a part.
If you didn’t notice any Blu-ray player announcements from Samsung at CES this year, there’s a reason for that: the company has told both Forbes and CNET that it is getting out of the Blu-ray player business in the United States.
The large chaebol conglomerate will introduce no new Blu-ray players anywhere, it seems, and will stop making existing players for the US market. This comes as a confirmation of what many observers expected, given that the company last released a new player in 2017. Samsung was reportedly working on a high-end Blu-ray player for release in 2019, according to Forbes, but those plans have been scrapped.

I think the last Blu-ray I purchased was Frozen.

Well, work paid for it. I'm on the Premium plan, used a 30% promo code for $499/year.
It's good for what it is. They have both transcripts and video for just about any certification out there. The premium plan is nice because it includes virtual labs and practice exams. The virtual labs are nice, because they're already setup for the exam your studying for, so no spinning up a bunch of stuff in your home lab that's limited to 120days.
They do have a free tier. You do have to give them your contact information, but unlike other companies I've only ever gotten emails from them. No annoying phone calls. https://www.itpro.tv/live/
