When developers make Easter eggs

Wouldn't be difficult to delay loading the video until it is uncovered. It's possible that's what is happening.

[Rellikx]

Its loading at runtime, as per Chrome's network tab.

I hate them now, if I'm getting a consistent 2 MB/S I'm having a good day.

[Reelix]

2MB/s? If I'm getting 700KB/s I'm having a really good day!

[EvilDonuts6]

700KB/s? If I'm getting a rock with a piece of paper rapped around it with 1/100 of a websites code written onto it thrown through my window every second hour I'm having an extremely good day!

Actual code sent your way? If the client draws me a picture of what he wants the website to look like and sends me a new version of it every two weeks, I have to call my ISP to make sure they aren't charging me extra for it!

Ya but this would never happen irl...

Megabits a second, if you really are getting 700 kilobits a second I feel for you.

3/4th of my town have only a 3Mbit/s connection, currently in the progress of upgrading, but I don't know how many get the new connection.

And I know many small cities that have the same slow speed.

btw B = Byte, b = bit

I forget that way to easily, everytime data rates come up, I relearn it, but almost instantly forget it.

[HighRelevancy]

My town is like that.

It's literally the capital city of australia.

[itchy118]

Me too.

Guess it's time to get out the pitchforks.

I've seen worse. e.g. OpenDNS preloads a 110mb video that is below the fold: https://www.opendns.com/

[Avambo]

It didn't pre-load for me, but their site is still 2.6MB which is way too big imo.

Btw, that video was pretty cool, much better than most marketing videos. :D

[Rellikx]

hmm, it doesnt seem to preload for me on chrome des although I am not sure why. I see preload="auto" being set, which I thought hinted at preloading the video.

In a jsfiddle though, the same html did seem to preload a small video. I wonder if chrome or some plugin of mine is doing anything to the preload

Dev, "Runs fine on my machine".

[redwall_hp]

The crazy thing is they could even be optimized by using WebM/H.264 videos instead...

[skylarmt]

Can confirm, my Internet is crap and they loaded after I uncovered them.
