More physical controls is great, so I see this as a win. For navigation and media, I don’t want to be without the screen, but I hate that my ventilation controls are 50 % hidden under touch controls, meaning I usually don’t bother to change them while I drive, because it requires looking away too much.

Wait, when did Paypal buy Honey? 😳

Here in Denmark (maybe all EU, not sure) a dashcam has to be turned on manually. If it were to turn on automatically with the car, it’d be illegal. I’m guessing laws across the world could be stopping such a rollout.

I guess it depends on how far North you live. I’m a Swede too, and cars in summer with no A/C would be unbearable.

You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

In Swedish I pronounce y as y. It has its own sound and doesn’t sound like another letter, so it can’t be written as a combination of other letters.

Not in Sweden. Veveve.

Not even one bit. Fluffy bread is superior in every way in my opinion. And eating raw oats is just nasty.

Real bread (Google “Schwarzbrot”), real cereals

Way to gatekeep. 🙄

Wait. When did onboard sound get good enough that you don’t need a soundcard? My computer is “only” 12ish years, and it has a soundcard. The reason used to be that internal ones sounded like shit.

How?!

It’s UWQHD. It’s higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

It still happens in Scandinavia where these laws exist, with e.g. toilet paper, where some are listed per kg, some per roll, and others per meter.

Same. They look like the small 25 cl energy drink cans, so even if they’re still 33 cl, they look smaller.

I was equally confused about what people meant with hide the desktop. I assume they meant show the desktop.

Correcting myself here. AntennaPod does have silence trimming, but it’s neither a player button nor in settings, but in a …-menu at the top of the player, which made it a bit hard to find (Same can be said about some settings in Pocket Casts.) and there’s no graduation, so it’s mad max only, from how it sounds.

I would think podcasts without RSS is a tiny minority, and I wouldn’t take them seriously. And I’ve never even heard of ivoox.

You made me check. Since August 2018, I’ve cut about 1d using variable speed, and 1.5d using silence trimming. I’m only using mild at the moment, and have used medium before, but mad max was too much for my taste. But since I’ve listened for 83d, silence trimming is a <2% saving for me, so it might not mean much.

Edit: I do use it extensively specifically when catching up on the backlog of a podcast. So it probably accounts for way more during those times.

Ooh. Nice! I hadn’t heard of AntennaPod before. It seems to have everything that I use in Pocket Casts except for trim silence. I will try it out for a while and see if I miss that. I do use it and it saves a lot of time. Still though, OSS is a big draw.

Edit: It also doesn’t open the queue or start playing automatically in Android Auto.
