   @Edent Yes. It used to be that you could pause a video and it would buffer to the very end, and then you wouldn't be dependent on being connected to finish watching it. Nowadays, videos never buffer more than a few minutes ahead of where you are.

     I think I kind of hate lazy loading…

     Yesterday I was on a train. I clicked on a link and the article loaded. Halfway through reading it, the train went into a tunnel and I lost signal.

     So I couldn't see the images on the page for the rest of the journey.

     I get the need to reduce bandwidth, and the associated battery savings. But I'm not sure it is worth it.

     Anyone else feel that way?
