Guessed wrong, they definitely found it to be an issue: "After a grueling 304-lap test, Acerbis found they needed to use sponges to combat the sloshing inside the tank at the expense of losing some volume. The final tank weighed 15.2 kg (33.5 lbs) and could hold 108 liters."

There's two components to a Zoom call:

- Encoding: your own camera input.

- Decoding: decoding multiple streams of video.

Your CPU needs to do work on each on these, and depending on what codecs are used (and whether your CPU supports it) hardware acceleration may or may not be supported.

> Many elderly people die of loneliness.

How does this work exactly? Medically speaking.

What's to say this isn't an automated email?

> Earth lifetime is nothing on the grand scale of things.

Nit: Isn't the estimated age of the universe 14 billion and earth 4.5 billion? I wouldn't call that nothing.

Sounds great. Only thing really holding me back is no Safari for Windows. I use Windows for about 20% of my screentime, and I'd like for my browser to be synced across every single device I use.

> I am super disappointed by some of the comments here that show a total lack of empathy for people who aren't like you.

I've noticed as of late HN has been riddled with comments such as: here is my extremely strong thoughts on X with my personal anecdotal experience Y, and therefore this is how the world should work.

And then how do US companies then compete with overseas companies that don’t have this setback?

This is just very reflective of hip start-ups. A large amount of tech companies (i.e., more established ones) have standard 15-21 day PTO accrual policies.

I've gotten paid out twice for my PTO and one of them actually happened to be a "hip start-up" who didn't believe in "unlimited PTO".

Localstack can get you pretty far.

Do you need to play Witcher 1 & 2?

> Moral of this story is - always own your mission critical infrastructure.

Sure, if you have the time and money to own it properly. How far do you need to go to say you own it? Multi-regional servers located on properties that you own?

> mechanical failure of my car

That's scary. What was the failure if you don't mind me asking?
