Intersting facts you need to know about netflix —
1. THE FIRST “NETFLIX ORIGINAL” WAS AN ABSTRACT TEST FOOTAGE SHORT.
In order to test frame rates and how their streaming service handles different kinds of content, Netflix produced 11 minutes of test footage in 2011 that can be viewed by typing “example show” in their search engine. Cut together (as seen above), the shorts become a very strange, very abstract art film, with an unidentified man juggling and reciting Shakespeare. (But not, sadly, juggling while reciting Shakespeare.
2.THERE’S A SECRET NETFLIX MENU
No, not that kind of secret menu. Pressing Shift + Alt + a left mouse click brings up a troubleshooting menu that allows you to adjust the bit rate of a stream so it doesn’t buffer. (On a Mac, it’s Shift + Option + click.) The picture quality won’t be as good, but it’s better than a pixelated Demogorgon.
3.YOU’LL SOON BE ABLE TO STREAM NETFLIX IN A TESLA.
In July 2019, Tesla founder Elon Musk informed Tesla owners they would soon be able to stream both Netflix and YouTube in their cars, an attractive option for anyone looking to keep passengers occupied. But there’s a catch: The services only work when the cars are parked. The feature will be available in newer-model cars at a date to be determined.
4.NETFLIX WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED KIBBLE.
Choosing a name for the company was a drawn-out process. Directpix.com, Replay.com, and other names were considered; so was Luna.com, which was the name of Randolph’s dog. When the company was being incorporated, he named it Kibble.com until they could decide on something permanent.
