i should make a different post about it because i have SO many things to gush about lately, from going on a martial retreat to buying a sword to kicking out my boss to!!!!!! getting!!!!!!! the world's cutest!!!!!!!!!! fanbinding!!!!!!!!!!! for one of my fics!!!!!!!!!!!

but today i got a HUGE headache when i realized my beloved portable bluetooth keyboard wasn't connecting to my mobile so i could sneakily write fic at work, and it turned out HP removed the user manual from the website. luckily i still had the manual around (small as it is) so below is the relevant information (paraphrased from PT) in case anyone namely me needs it in the future.

lack of HP support manual aside, i cannot recommend this kind of thing enough to write fic and handle documents on the go when you don't want to take a whole-ass laptop with you!

If you're experiencing "Error Code 102630: This video file cannot be played" on Firefox

i've been scratching my head about it for weeks over this and just solved the issue today - it might not work for everyone experiencing this error, but i'm posting it here in case it does/for future reference.

things i tried that didn't work (but might help you):

  • updating/restarting firefox
  • updating/restarting windows (or your operating system of choice)
  • manually updating the video drivers
  • deleting the DNS cache
  • deleting the browser cache
  • running Firefox in troubleshooting mode (no extensions or add-ons) to make sure it wasn't some extension that broke in an update

what actually worked for me:

  1. go to about:config (open a new tab and use that in place of the URL)
  2. look up "media.mediasource.enabled"
  3. if it's set to "false", set it back to "true" by double-clicking it

i had this configuration set to false in order to get videos to buffer completely instead of just loading a couple minutes at a time and then stopping, but unfortunately this does not seem to play well with most streaming sites/servers. pretty sure it worked well before, but an update must have broken it.
