Once several different instances have downloaded the same video, they could share information on which segments are the same?
Ads would change for each download based on all the factors used in the automated ad auctions.
Had a “pay as you go” contract since 1997 (not with T) - they told everyone that you need a new SIM for a network upgrade which required deactivating the original SIM. New SIM didn’t work in normal (Nokia 1110) phones. Then they sent SMS saying that they weren’t going to honour the original PAYG phone contracts.

Or even Ami Pro’s keyboard settings, where each function key was mapped to a paragraph style. F2 = body text. F5 = bullet list. F6 = number list. F8-F12 = heading levels 1-5 (from memory, it’s been a while). Function keys in Word are so useless that I can’t even remember what they do (except for F9 which is super broken).
Just be careful naming your function “stdout()” or things could get weird…

Is that supported in any common operating systems?
The only downside of being in GMT is that programmers here almost never notice their timezone bugs when developing systems in the winter.
Still, avoiding a whole other class of bugs would be nice.
Jeff’s solution is pihole not firefox? I thought ad blockers did way more complex and subtle stuff than the DNS approach of blocking entire domains?
“Also this strikes me as a very lazy reviewer. Which makes him profoundly qualified to review printers”

Unix timestamp is always in UTC
Careful with the exact phrasing here - while the epoch was at midnight in GMT, the time from which time_t is measured also exists in other timezones.
That is essentially what the “Post-Open Source” idea is trying to do.
