> Rather than deal with hypotheticals let's focus on reality Imagine coming into a discussion telling of a thing you experienced and then the reply is: I don't want to discuss hypotheticals, which is great because a) this isn't a hypothetical, it's the reason I quit my last job and b) you replied to my comment, which is the only way you could possibly even have the chance to discuss this. I am explaining (admittedly with low detail because Internet) an actual situation I experienced, and it's not like there aren't all manner of entertainment product available on the market which requires a floor of technical power to consume in a way the average consumer would deem acceptable, be that hardware requirements like VR or other bespoke controlling apparatus, or looser ones like the minimum requirements on videogames, or more is-or-isn't ones like the ability for streamer boxes, phones or tablets to playback video of a given resolution and at a given frame rate.

> I mean, what if there are actual technical limitations of whatever browser you'd like to use that prevent, for example, the on-the-fly playback of 4K video? This is the core of what you were asking, perhaps my answer was too roundabout for you. What I'm trying to tell you is that: - This question is a hypothetical because it's not true, you can encode videos to play on every platform so long as it's browser supported, this is not 2013 - There is not a technical floor in video playback of even 4k videos unless you are playing on something like a first gen raspberry pi, and even then, bandwidth constraints necessitate multi-quality video support regardless - VR and other "manners of entertainment" are moving goal posts and irrelevant to this discussion - Streaming content to multiple platforms is a solved problem, if you failed to accomplish this then it sounds to me that you probably couldn't do your job - Using platform based attestation to resolve this technical incompetentcy is an unreasonable solution to the problem and deserving of complaints
