60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

I just got back from Victoria, BC. A city I visit often. I'm always impressed by how many people commute by bike there. And it's not an accident, the city has invested in an amazing biking infrastructure that other North American cities could learn from: youtu.be/FKMDMekErQ0

MoQ: Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack
For years, developers have been stitching together multiple protocols for real-time media, trading latency for scale and simplicity. Media over QUIC (MoQ) is a new IETF standard that resolves this conflict, creating a single foundation for sub-second, interactive streaming at a global scale.
