I was really impressed with my setup, but after disabling content blockers (Firefox Focus), and turning off using Mullvad's free DNS proxy service, still nothing!
Perhaps the author turned the ads off since you visited?
I feel like this was copy edited by ChatGPT and it really grates me. I couldn’t help but lose focus after I started seeing telltale signs of AI. While the topic matter is interesting, I feel like obviously synthetic content falls into the “that which was not worth writing, is not worth reading either” trap. If the authors tone is extremely ChatGPT-esque, I apologize in advance.

To be transparent, I was experimenting with a more "punchy," narrative style to weave in some wit and humor. I didn't want the writing to feel dry and was aiming for a flow that was more entertaining. In retrospect, I clearly overshot the mark and ended up with something that feels inauthentic and distracts from the main point.
The experiment and the data are what I was most excited to share, and the writing shouldn't obscure that. Based on this feedback, I'll revise the article to be more direct, cut the fluff, and let the numbers do the talking.
Seriously, I appreciate the reality check! This is a great lesson in "know your audience." :)

Intolerably ChatGPT-esque. Which is a shame, it seems like a nifty little DIY experiment. I think what stands out to me is this cartoonishly punchy, faux-dramatic framing. That, and specialist terms that seem to be thrown in there in an empty way, just to signal subject-matter expertise that’s not even expected of a DIYer’s experiment report: > It’s a multi-decade, billion-dollar street fight over bytes and pixels, w…

I would 100000% rather read the author's own writing even if English is their 10th language Rather than this inflated slop that look like I am trying to reach word count in a paper and one sentence becomes 15 useless ones Edit: This is not so much commentary on AI than it is the core of your post is a few tables. Just post the tables and one or two sentence of conclusion and that is all ! It is so tedious to read thr…
It's unfortunate because there's plenty of good, technical, perfectly readable content in the author's blog archive from 2021 and earlier without the overwrought purple prose. https://singhkays.com/archives/

I wonder why there is 4 year gap there. Their English is not even bad ! Its better than mine and definitely does not need any kind of GPT copyediting
But on the bright side I've got a large backlog of ideas now just waiting to be turned into pixels

Taking screenshot of netflix on my device results in black square, I dont know if this applies on lower levels of Widevine but if it doesn't then the quality will be much lower as Netflix do not serve 720+ video unless there is protected DRM path
It'd have to be the good ol' "take a picture of the screen" route without getting into the more gray areas.
Very good read, love some of the humor in this article. It helped me get through to the end!! Also, If anyone was wondering where AV1 stands in comparison to VP8 and VP9... I just looked it up after a few years of not paying attention and I guess Google donated VP8 and VP9 to the alliance for open media foundation (AOMedia) in 2015 and they created AV1 and released it in 2018.

Perhaps the most important question which I have yet to see anyone pointing out. Those bit rate numbers are appalling! 2-4Mbps average bitrate? For a services you are paying for? I knew Netflix has gotten bad but this is worse than I thought. Even some high end YouTube Content does better than that. It should be 8Mbps minimum. And at this bitrate the difference between H.264 and AV1 wont be so obvious.
