The Youtube H.264 / mp4 lie. Forget the export madness!

If you search the internet for the best export options for uploading videos to YouTube, you will always come across videos and blog posts that present exporting as H264 codec in MP4 format as a panacea.

Rowenta X-Force in camping use: battery vacuum cleaner for motorhome and caravan

A cordless battery vacuum cleaner for the motor home was needed. It had to be lightweight and not take up much storage space. The hose of our old on-board vacuum cleaner alone took up as much space as a crate of drinks. I also had enough of tangling cables that wouldn't rewind. Enough of bumping a floor vacuum against table legs. But are the battery and suction power enough? After a half year, I can say that the effort was worth it.

Rowenta X-Force on the water: battery vacuum cleaner for boat, ship and yacht

A cordless battery vacuum cleaner was needed for the sailing boat. It had to be lightweight and not eat up much storage space. The hose of our old on-board vacuum cleaner alone took up as much space as a beverage crate. I was also fed up with tangled cables that wouldn't rewind. Enough of bumping a floor vacuum against table legs and edges. But are the battery and suction power enough? After half a year, I can say that the effort was worth it.
