I am running mostly Firefox or Librewolf on Linux these days, but I do not remember having to enable it. Not all of my systems support accelerating AV1 in their hardware, but they do play at 1080p (but with framedrops once above 30fps on the unaccelerated computer). But yeah, I do hope YT keeps VP9 around because of the acceleration.

Fair point.

I mean, given that many devices do not support accelerating it, it is in practice “hard to accelerate” unless you add a new gfx card or buy a new device.

I may not have worded it optimally (2L speaker), but I am sure it was fairly clear what I meant. 🙂

For AV1 that could still be okay, lol. It would be kind of meh for e.g. H264 but YT does not even use that anymore AFAIK.

I can only imagine that they (OP) set quality settings on [auto]. That way they might have YT constantly lowering bitrates/resolution. I do not have any issues either, but I use fixed quality settings.

Youtube pushes the AV1 “format” heavily these days which is hard to decode using hardware acceleration, given that a lot of devices still out there do not support that.

Infosec reasons, allegedly.

And Wikipedia confirms that I was closer to the truth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Skyrim

Not 12 years?

It kind of makes sense on many BIOS/UEFI-less systems where e.g. Uboot is used. And it does contain things like kernel images, sometimes initRD files etc. (which may not be bootloader files but are still system boot files).

Bass-to-mouth is a South Park reference (AFAIK) and I suppose some folks in this thread are joking.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a few (optional) ones IIRC.

I know. I just put it there for those readers not necessarily in the know.

Time and place, phneutral. Time and place.

his wife and other females

His wife and other women. The word “female” is an adjective and should not be used as a noun unless referring to e.g. animals. Like myself, you are (probably) non-native speaker of English so I don’t weigh this all too heavy, but others might since it is considered somewhat disrespectful to women.

Which does not mean that people like A.S. Tanenbaum should not be deserving recognition. With other words, your comment does not contribute to this thread.

The channel has been renamed as “RMC - The Cave” at least two or three years ago. Neil was already shortening the channel name into RMC in his videos, so to him this was a fairly easy decision to make. The main reason to do the change in the first place, is that the “Man Cave” part was originally a joke from his wife (a sign above the door to his hobby space) and not entirely fitting a channel that is now made (semi)-professionally in a space outside the house. He even has a computing museum nowadays so he wants to do all this without jokes that could be misinterpreted without context.
