This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Today I learned that firefox doesn't like to play certain types of mp4 files.

Probably missing a few dll's or something, works fine for me.

I tried googling and came up with nothing other than articles suggesting I delete my cookies and update firefox. If you know what dll's I should check please let me know! :)

Depends on your OS and the alignment of Venus with the moon. For Linux, there's Archwiki, sacrifice a ~~lamb~~ few bytes for good measure.

It's usually something with media acceleration not set up yet. I believe i had to install the amdgpu-32bit driver first, before it worked? (oc only if you have amdgpu)
