That is hard, if you keep clear of certain parts trying to bite you is a give away (not that reliable though), you can after a while tell the difference moan (Zombie moan 'brainzzzz', Loacal moan 'aaaawwwwwright, meee loverrrrrrr'....

I'd agree with his pov in some respects - but its like anything in technology, it starts off with a good premise and somewhere someone perverts the intended usage and says 'hey, I can use that technology to become more lazy'
I'm using iOT for resource monitoring, married up with weather data to promote ecologically sound holidays on a particular property which markets itself as eco/green - helping customers make good eco choices - some people would call that a perversion, but, the customers actually want to know how much resources they are using. As an added benefit, we can say 'its going to rain this afternoon, here are some indoor type things you can see in the district'

It fills my head with cotton wool.
This morning I started on a job for a friend: bolting together some of his videos: 25 files, all MP4, all same resolution and audio / video codecs. Can I bolt 'em together to make 5 MP4 files, each around 2 hours? Should be about 1GB per file, since the total input is about 5GB. No problem, done it loads of times.
Off we go with Corel Videostudio X9 ... four hours for the first file, Computer running like a stunned slug on mogadons while it does it's thing. And the output size? 13.2GB for a 1.06GB total input...
Holy carp.
Brain full of cotton wool finally says "didn't we used to do that with Avidemux?"
15 seconds per file, total size of all five files 5.33GB. Sorted.
I hate having a cold...

I'm trying to think of the reasons why someone would have 25 pieces 5 videos with each video being, say, around 2hrs long, and then I stopped and realised it's one of those questions best collectively left alone.
Every time - every, single, time - anyone in the office is sick Sean recommends - nay, prescribes - this[^]. He says it will do wonders for someone sick.

It's compilations of half hour-or-so videos bolted together as a "training course". But he figures one 5GB file is a bit much for a single download or even a single viewing (it's ten hours complete, so it's a fair amount to sleep through watch)

Have you tried FFMPEG? It does a great job at stitching videos together and lots of other things if you can figure out the parameters needed!
If you have, how do you compare it to Avidemux?

I can't help with the video cruddles, but the cold is best dealt with using, in lieu of Whiskey what you don't do, garlic & ginger.
1 clove of garlic, 3-4 cm of root ginger. Finely chop and steep in about 1l of boiling water for 30 minutes. Add honey [2tb for me] and lemon [1/2 ish] to taste. Drink and feel better.
Slightest sign of sniffles and I make it and it may not keep out the cold but it keeps my grey cells from turning to mush.

Is that the one with the half-sized up & down keys?
LUXURY! The winio OSK doesn't even have up & down keys!

Ouch. OK, I'll take my teeny tiny up/down keys and stop whining.

Count yourself lucky. I have a 'full' keyboard on my Tosh with separate number pad and proper cursor keys, great for dev work and proper keyboarding. Except...
The up key is FUBAR and so I have to have numlock off so that I can have move the cursor up.
