One of the reasons they stopped doing the show, there was less new revolutionary things happening in the PC world, higher bit-rate video/streaming is just the natural evolution of early streaming tech and the product of better GPUs/CPUs etc. - nothing really amazing.

@@yellowblanka6058 yeah thats understandable. I'd say computing became a bit boring because we already have everything that an everyday person might use (we already have almost everything written in concrete, just things changing sligltly in a way that doesnt matter to most people. the average person isnt gonna crap their pants about a new GPU, but back in the nineties if you told someone you could listen to radio online or make a video call online their mind would been blown)

I have wanted to do radio disc jockey type work since I was a teenager. Considering what was talked about on this episode of the Computer Chronicles if I had the money I could have begun doing it in the 1990s when I was in my thirties. I can just imagine it. 🤔

The functions of plugins where that the computer would not have to work as hard to display media. Even if HTML5 is there, it`s still takes a lot of resources to render a video as opposed to a mini app being embedded onto the browser and doing some of the heavy lifting. I can not talk about great things about flash, but QuickTime was great in this aspect.

@@HikikomoriDev all the plug-in did was it allowed the website to call upon the local player program, instead of having to code their own (which is what was done with Flash on early KZbin, to have their own UI). HTML5 actually does just host the raw video file just the same as when an RP or QT video was embedded back in the day. Back then, if you didn’t have the plug-in you could still download the video to watch in the program. (Of course installing the program usually installed the plug-in.) But whichever way you watched it, it used the same resources to play the video. And an HTML5 player gives the video file raw as well, it’s just that the browsers have the playback capability built in now. But it’s still the same resources as playing it in VLC standalone would be today. HTML5 video was created to save computer resources over plug-ins , in fact. (But of course RP and QT were pretty efficient plug-ins like you say)
