Found this dusty antique from the days when video players would let you buffer. If only this were still a thing. (startrek.website)

Especially since some companies are still pushing out computers with only 16MB of RAM in 2023, even a Gameboy emulator would almost max that out.

Did you mean GB? I can only assume so. They had Gameboy emulators before we even got to 1GB of RAM so I'm not really sure what you're talking about on that front either.

No one is producing computers with 16MB of ram that are meant to watch videos. Some laptops are still being made with ~2gb RAM. And some computers (in a different sense of the word) are currently being made with less than 32 kb of ram.
