Noon doesn't actually happen at noon

It’s close enough to solar noon in most places under standard time.

NASCAR Cup series has been using EFI since 2012. The other series still use carburetors.

Years later, Netflix is still having issues. Maybe it's not as easy as you claim.

You’re right. They’ll never be able to use their existing large revenue stream to fix it.

> 1. Now you just have a blank screen. Sure some people might like that but others will think there's an issue with the stream.

NASCAR has a separate feed for international broadcasts without their ads. During the ad break they'll just show an overhead camera or maybe an in car camera.

Yeah I'm familiar with that. I guess it all depends on the sport and country. Ads during the sport is quite unusual in the UK for example so we get that NASCAR feed where the camera continues with no commentary during US ad breaks. We also have a cool setup for Indycar where a local UK commentator jumps in to talk over the feed while the US goes to a break. For MLB (on their own league pass product) we get a blank screen or non-ad montage thing in between innings (although as I mentioned in another comment that's its own kind of hell).

I feel like it's fine for social chat but for technical chat I feel similar to the article.

The kernel has a cache used for block devices.

If you want to be more targeted:

    blockdev --flushbufs /dev/sda

Jitsi is an excellent free and open source alternative.

And that is useless if you have meetings with people that "have standardized" on Zoom, and that hold some sort of leverage over you, like clients/customers.

I found Clients / Customers don't care, I just send them a meetings link and they find themselves shocked in that it just works.

If they moan say it's Zoom but the corporate version.

Self-hosting my own Jitsi and it's faultless and the way to go.

Just send a meeting link and it works in any browser.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how often someone will use jitsi when the alternative is not communicating with me in such a fashion.

Can’t see enjoying my time on this Earth putting up with that sort of burnout.
