  • This might be unique to each parent as well. Some children do require extra attention and it is very difficult to managed work time in.

    With most schools letting kids out around 3pm it’s not easy to keep the children occupied before the work day is finished. This leaves parents either on a work call with kids heard in the background or working late at night al week.

    Think of it as if the person is a caretaker and a full time employee at your company. It’s basically two full times just that happen to overlap during the day.

    I think calling it a privilege is really unfair but if the people are missing work and not meeting deadlines then management needs to step in and work out a solution. Work life balance is hard.






  • Great article that really helps me understand the various presets of AV1. I re-encoded a 8gb 1080 h264 with AV1 preset 4 and crf 22. Came out just under 800mb. I do see some compression artifacts in the resulting video, but nothing serious and the bandwidth savings is great.

    I have also found that encoding speed doesn’t change much between presents as much as just scaling the output to 720 instead of 1080. Which is what I do for files that I’m ok with being standard HD res to get that almost 2x encoding speed.




  • I switched to Kodi on my Chromecast 4K to fix most of my video playback issues. However, I still have a few cases where Kodi can’t decode the subtitle track, so I use subtitle edit to extract out the srt. Also, getting Kodi to always play subs is tricky, so I remapped the up key on the remote to always enable subs.

    Kodi is also slower to show library updates on start, maybe a minute or so later and then it’s don’t with the sync. Maybe I didn’t setup something correctly… Anyway, give it a try. On my Sony with google tv the jellyfin app is great.
