There is virtually no consequences or accountability when big-tech companies share private data. For crying out loud, they were caught red handed sharing private data from their EU endeavors.
If even sovereign states with clear laws forbidding such behavior can't keep those companies in check, no enterprise/b2b can.
AFAIK the location lock is an nvidia driver issue... or more precisely the pitiful state of the open source nvidia drivers.
Yes the hardware you chose or is given will heavily influence your linux experience. I kinda wished the community was more proactive making lists of "certified" hardware that is likely to cause the least amount of problems...
Users will also need to drink a Monster™ verification can every time they launch the start menu if they do not have a Premium AI PRO Ultra MAX account. Users may chose to skip verification process if they agree to the new EULA where it is stipulated that they must meet a weekly quota of Big Macs™ stamps. Failing that your Copilot™ Account will enter lock-down mode where a full document, body and facial scan must be "performed" to recover it.
Couldn't you use a video player like mpv to achieve a similar effect? Not sure if you can cover a specific part of the image but you sure can crop the video however you want and bind the commands/script to a key.

mpv doesn't run on iPad so it's better for my situation to just burn the blackout into a new video. I actually do a lot more stuff than drawvg (also rescale, pts, framerate,etc) in filter_complex but left the rest of it out for the HN comment so the example is more readable.
I suppose it might be possible to use mpv with a custom shader mask glsl code to blackout circular areas of the screen.
>you sure can crop the video
Cropping the video is straightforward with no information loss when the geometry of presentation and the speaker is laid out like these: https://www.youtube.com/@MeetingCPP/videos
But cropping the following video by shrinking the boundaries of the rectangle until the circle overlay is not visible would result in too much of the text being cut off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUxuCoqJzlA
Scrub that video timeline to see the information that would be chopped off. For that, it's better to cover up only the circle overlay with a blacked out disc.

I would love to stop using the YouTube client on iPadOS. Do you just d/l the video with yt-dlp+ffmpeg and then post process it based on your needs and then watch it from the Files app from iCloud or whatever?
There is always the option of force pausing the game to all clients until the joining client is fully in sync. Age of Empires 2 does something like this when a player that was dropped later rejoins the game. You can even have a screen showing how synced each player is and an ETA based on their download speed, with the ability to chat and even kick a player...
Obviously that won't scale if you intend to have dozens of players constantly joining a server rather than a "friends only" (or whatever more constrained scenario) where players only occasionally join mid game.
The ironic thing is that each subscriber now has a dedicated computer many times more powerful than what ISPs had back in the day for hosting ALL those websites sitting in the most privileged part of their network, being online 24h and begging to be used for small hosting tasks like this: their ISP provided router. It even serves it's configuration panel through html and a webserver for crying out loud!
Unfortunately reality is such that those are closed systems with historically abhorrent security and ISPs usually forbids the user from properly providing their own choice of router.
The upstream bandwidth sure improved but ISPs are still hostile to self-hosting by limiting ports, resetting connections every x days and not providing an ipv4 for a reasonable charge.
If even sovereign states with clear laws forbidding such behavior can't keep those companies in check, no enterprise/b2b can.
