Oh, yeah, wait, I am using AntennaPod too. The subscription stuff was actually the reason I switched from Pocket Casts. Mixed up the names. I'd claim old age, but I'm not that old yet, really.

Many modern podcast solutions seem to be injecting ads into the audio file they serve, to varying degrees of success.

I listen to several ad supported English language podcasts, and most of them seem to have difficulties with ~~Pocket Casts~~ AntennaPod, or some other part of my setup. The only ones that do get ads placed are the ones that use Spotify Megaphone for their backend.

There is a paid version of pocket casts?

Yeah, that's a bit of a hike, probably would throw my plans for the week.

That does sound fun. How far from Berlin are you, in rough terms? Can I walk over, or is it more of a cycling distance?

Also, to touch on the other questions in the post, I have an Apple Music Subscription, but do have about 50 GB of flac files of my favourite music mirrored to most of my devices, in case I'm holed up somewhere without Internet access.

I have a switch emulator on my pc. Ones for other consoles too. Don't see much added value in a physical console, since I need a reasonably powerful PC for work anyway.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

It's a MX Master 2S, funnily enough. I still have a over 10 year old working M705 Marathon, on second thought, that I had once bought for my laptop. Had to open it up and bend the mechanism for the left click back into shape once, but no Problems besides.

Uh, what would I be paying for, exactly? I don't really see what Software support a mouse really needs, as long as it doesn't ship buggy. Also, I've been using my (Logitech, funnily) mouse for 6 years now, and if you ignore the few scratches it has gathered, it still works pretty much perfectly.

Also, if their solution for a longer lasting mouse really is repairability, isn't that just their way of saying "we designed our other products to be thrown away"?

I mean, they're pretty old planes. I don't expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.
