Yeah, I was about to click and read and it occurred to me that this is only of possibly theoretical interest and I'll know about later if it comes to matter.
There are some areas that I follow as-it-develops, but codecs and data compression is one that I'll use when ready. Still awaiting widespread av1 support/adoption.
The area most needing improvements IMO is with Bluetooth, especially Apple's support of codecs (where they're dropping support that worked in older macOS versions).
Pretty much any low level tech is at most a theoretical curiosity to me. I'll use it when it works in every browser and OS and average people recognize the file extension. Unusual tech seems to attract unusual bugs!
Still really really impressive to beat an established standard as an individual, that doesn't happen much.
Thank you for your good thoughts
