Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. (www.thatprivacyguy.com)

A dvd is roughly 768mb.

It's 8GB

Only if it's double-layered.

Single-layered are 4.7GB.

Also you had movie sizes misremembered - 700mb was 720p divx or 480p mpeg2, Netflix is now more often than not higher resolution that that (1080p for fullHD, minimum, for most people - I have an old TV that's 1080p - though 720p is probably also available), and likely encoded at a higher bit rate, though I don't know what file formats they use. A movie being 2gb is pretty normal for 1080p on torrent sites, and 4gb is not that uncommon for higher res
