This computer can barely decode 720p on YouTube. That is offensive.

@onfy you might be able to force it to use h.264 with an addon, so it can hardware-decode (assuming it serves you vp9)

@onfy no, you posted them after I started typing this comment

@noiob ...my saltiness aside, I don't think Firefox is using hardware decode here. That'd surely help, any way to get it doing that?

@onfy idk, that sounds like a gpu driver issue, but I never had troubleshoot that

@onfy alternatively, I think you can still drop yt links into VLC, I think that might work better

@noiob Not for the kind of person this system is being prepared for. Copy pasting is "too hard."

@noiob "The iHD driver intel-media-driver (needed by Broadwell or newer) is currently broken due to sandbox violations caused by the driver"
Cool...

@noiob Would be more watchable if the bitrate wasn't so low.
