32:13 I suffer a mental framing error every time I see YouTube UI cues (like the buffering animation) show up in a YouTube video I’m watching. ;)

30:06 There is (almost) no such thing as a “system time zone” in Linux. The system clock is in UTC, and every process can have its own setting for the “TZ” environment variable. The /etc/localtime setting is just supposed to be a default. So I don’t understand why you have to keep setting the time every time you do an install, unless there’s something wrong with the battery backing up the hardware clock.

13:31 I’m impressed that you can continue to do screen captures while it’s playing content protected with WideVine. I thought that would be blocked.

@jdavidgea No, Linux allows the BIOS clock to be either in UTC or local time. UTC is preferable, but some people have to dual-boot with Windows, which insists on interpreting it as local time, so Linux allows for that for compatibility. The Linux system clock is maintained entirely within the running kernel, and is quite separate from the BIOS clock aka “hardware clock”. https://linux.die.net/man/8/hwclock

32:38 That 50fps looks a bit choppy—is that an artifact of your screen recording? For comparison, I went to view the original directly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9l6KNHSlv4 , and it looks much smoother.
