off topic FACT:
DID YOU KNOW (stupid too young to know millenials)
THAT SUPER SERVERS STREAMING MPEG ORIGINALLY WERE (version 2 not 1) made to STREAM WHICHEVER MPEG YOUR STREAM SUPPORTED - MPEG1,2,3 WMV. you would wait and the stream would come
BIG TECH THREW THAT AWAY - AND HACKED THE SERVERS so that they converted all media to NEWEST VERSION ONLY (but see below you don't GET the benefit either) so to be SURE to demand you upgrade even when you'd otherwise not need to
THIS IS ONE OF MANY HACKS BY BIG TECH THAT GO BELOW THE BELT, SEEDY, DIRTY POOL, THINGS THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR
also - just because a video SAYS mp4 doesn't mean it is (mp4 entails using a shit ton of compression features THAT ARE OPTIONAL). your browser requiring mp4 to watch a youtube you often end up getting an MPEG2 - supported for free in the 1980's actually. may they rot in hell for spoofing you so badly.
DID YOU KNOW (stupid too young to know millenials)
that web servers used to religiously server HTML1,2,3,... tailored to the web browser client so that you'd never get a "YOU MUST BUY NEW CHINESE CELL PHONE" message would never appear? MICROSOFT ET AL hacked the original good works to DISFUNCTION.
