The other answer you got hits it on the head already.
Here’s an additional piece of info you might like: The webm container format is actually a specific subset of Matroska. The big players in the web recognised that it was a very useful open container format and adopted it for the web. They took a subset to make implementation in browsers easier and more uniform.

Shit I hadn’t heard of that. That makes me sad. I know from reading developer blogs at the time that they tried to use less established techniques in some places to try and avoid similarities. Let’s hope it proves to be enough in the lawsuit. That would be horrible if some dusty encumbant can crush the new codec at a critical time of its global adotion.

Theora, VP8, VP9, and AV1 are the ones that come to mind.
- Comment on [Help] Steam Deck OLED | Windows 10 Dual Boot | How to Enable Secure Boot 8 months ago:
The Steam Deck does not officially support Windows Secure boot.
Of course it has Secure Boot, that’s a required part of the UEFI spec. “Windows Secure Boot” is not a thing.
Basically, Secure Boot means that … no other OS is allowed to boot.
No it means only EFI files that are signed with a known key are loaded. I use secure boot to load my signed GRUB.
What the Steam Deck doesn’t have is the Microsoft signing keys pre-installed in its factory state. If you buy other computers or bare mainboards they usually have this.

Clever! So the first drone simply brings a self disassembly kit, a handsaw and some tourniquets.
- Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike 8 months ago:
The article says that one drone was shot down and one crashed under the weight of the ebike.
A soldier will be significantly heavier than an ebike. And you can risk them being shot down less than just the bike
- Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming 1 year ago:
Their stack is so brutal. It’s incredible how they overcame it all.
ARM instruction set, wrong page size, GPU without documentation for which they reverse engineered a Vulkan and OpenGL driver.
