It's that time of the year again, isn't it.

This year, I've been telling people that it's rude not to rewind YouTube videos when you're done watching them, so that they'll load faster for the next person.

you could add another level to get more technical people by saying it's an artifact of their buffering system

I like that, but actually I've been telling them that playing a video that isn't rewound causes an exception to be thrown, and that's slow.

Much better to have two screens, one for the content and another to display any errors to the watcher. Or maybe one screen that is either broken or it's not?

I like this one. There are a number of people who'd not quite fall for it, but go on wondering if you're telling the truth or not.

When I was younger and DVDs were new I did manage to convince my aunt that they needed rewinding.

Yes, the time of year when the April 1 arms race takes yet another chunk out of March 31.

I just spit-taked my mint, thank you.
