What the flying f... is wrong with #streaming video platforms these days? #Netflix and #HBO and #Disney and whoever the f... else - zero of them manage to get #audio synchronised to the #video. Doesn't matter which device: #LG TV with #Marantz receiver, #eARC or direct audio, bitstream or PCM, #iPad or #iPhone, app or browser - audio is *always* out of sync.

I have tested a gazillion combinations and re-arranged my home cinema setup several times in futile attempts to fix this. To absolutely no avail.

Seeing it happen consistently even on an iPad Pro with native apps is somehow comforting - this isn't my fault. It's the providers.

And PLEASE don't suggest I adjust lip sync on my amp or Apple TV or whatever:
- audio is BEHIND the video in half the cases
- it varies between titles and apps (and why should I have to adjust every time?!?)
- in many cases no adjustment is even possible
- sometimes it's >500ms!!

I am flabbergasted that in 2025 this is a problem and consumers aren't ripping ALL of these platforms a new one. I mean what the ducking duck.

#QOTD: Have you ever had an embarrassing flight story? Because Noelle Adams' upcoming book In Flight just unlocked a core memory I tried to bury.

A few years ago, I reached a new level of humiliation. After a sleepless weekend trip with my college friends, I fully passed out mid-flight… draped over a stranger like a personal weighted blanket. 🫣 My friend said she kept yanking me off him, but like a cursed slinky, I just kept flopping right back. 😭💀 She eventually gave up and let me marinate in the shame I fully deserved. When I woke up, I was greeted with a flood of texts:

"WAKE THE HELL UP!"
"YOU’RE LITERALLY OVER HIM!"
"I’M SO EMBARRASSED FOR YOU!"
"I TRIED!"

To the kind stranger who let me use him as an in-flight pillow: I’m still cringing, and I honestly apologize. 🤧

Thankfully, that’s not what happened in this book.

For two months, River has been flying from Savannah to Boston every weekend to help with her sister’s wedding. Unfortunately, she’s stuck next to Isaac, the same grumpy guy who’s also on a weekly commute home. Neither of them is willing to switch seats, and the silent tension between them makes every flight unbearable. But as the weekends go by, she starts noticing the cracks in his cold exterior… and maybe this forced proximity isn’t as terrible as she thought.

Noelle Adams has always been my go-to for quick palate cleansers between heavier reads, and In Flight delivered exactly that. A light, fast-paced novella with just the right amount of tension and subtle angst. Perfect when you need something fun and easy!

✨ Read this if you love:
✈️ Forced Proximity
✈️ Grumpy x Sunshine
