on HN thread Firefox brings smooth video playback with the fastest AV1 decoder

it was probably encoded at a time when they didn't do 4k av1 tests but only 1080p, but since then they also did a 4k one if you wanna test it [this video]

on HN thread YouTube broke for 40% of the UK population after rolling out 60 FPS videos

Videos that are submitted in 60 FPS are only available in 60 FPS. It's getting more common as the cameras as getting cheaper. Check this for example, you should only have the choice between 60 FPS options. [this video] Videos that were submitted in 30 FPS remain as they were. It doesn't make sense to create new frames out of nothing indeed.
