I bet Wallstreet's thirst for real estate has zero to do with this

That's very generous

When I scroll down to the comments, a smaller version of the video already remains visible on top. Is this not a default youtube feature?

You have got to be the most aggressive cheerleader out there. Have you never encountered someone with pessimistic viewpoints before? I got news for you, we're out here, and there's reasons that the sentiment is alive and kicking. Good luck trying to pummel people into being more optimistic. The way you're going about it? Not the most elegant. Though, perhaps if you're patient, we might join you in rainbow unicorn land eventually. Who knows. Lol.

You're showing so much patience with me, thank you. Copying my words back to me when coming up with new ones doesn't work. Here I am trying to have this dialogue with you, but all you seem interested in is picking a fight with me. I sincerely hope that regulators will win the fight, I'm just not as confident as you that they will. Can we maybe leave it at that? I wish you nothing but good things, a nice weekend too.

Of course, laws can work. Why are you putting words in my mouth? Take a breath, and go outside. There's lots of laws working just fine. My problem is with companies that are too big to fail, employing better lawyers than regulators could ever afford. I say split those companies up into bits that regulators actually handle.

That's what I was getting at. Consumers still buy the damn things, even though they're manufactured by this toxic company. Can't fault them for it either. They are pretty, after all. So we're going to have to trust regulations. Regulations, however, always seem to be one step behind, don't they? EU just forced the implementation of USB-C in all devices. Great. Pretty soon, those devices will all be tied to proprietary wireless charging stations. Maybe, hopefully, time will prove me wrong.

Alright mate, all good, I will run it when I get home and report back. For what it's worth, the video is showing the 4k option on my Android phone using Grayjay app.

Well, my shit TV was the problem. I meant no offence, buddy. The only way to solve the issue for me was to throw money at it. Show me an affordable smart TV that can stream 4k out of the box, day or night, with no buffering, I'm your guy. Or am I reading too much into this, and do you really just want me to photograph my TV while it streams that video in 4k?
