Ah interesting, that just shows that I have successfully avoided subscribing to those. The few ones with ads I listen to get the ads read by the hosts like in YouTube videos.

I really want podcast apps to hook into SponsorBlock.
Right now I'm listening to very few English podcasts because of all the advertisement. I switched to German and Swedish because most of them don't have any advertisement in them.
As long as people pirate there is still hope to get them back with a good service and price.
I on the other hand am a lost customer I just stopped consuming most of media. I rather spent an hour on the Threadyverse than watching a fight, a game or even a TV series.
Ah damn, I wrote red light instead of green light by mistake, thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it!
Oh man without aircon I think I would be already dead :D
In Korean "green light" is "파란불" which translates to "blue light / fire" instead of "초록불" this would be "green light / fire. From what I know "초록" the word for green is a relatively new one copied from Chinese, before that it just didn't exist, instead of that blue and green have been mashed together into one.
We do the same btw, Russian distinguishes between light blue (голубой, goluboy) and blue (синий, siniy), treating them as distinct colors. In English, both are often considered shades of "blue."
Why not all?
I just hope this is still possible on the new one, I can see a future where they make it impossible but hopefully not yet.
I agree that it's a good upgrade too, the only dowside is that it's not portable anymore, I used to take it with me on any travel to have my own home theater set up like I like it with me when I was living in Hotels and AirBnB's for a year on business travel. Especially in Asia the TVs are in the local language and I never have any idea how to change the language from Korean or Japanese to English so I can use the TV. But putting in the dongle and turning on the TV was always possible.
The remote was the biggest upgrade for me on the Ultra though. I always struggled to find my phone and do stuff on it just to watch some YouTube or Netflix videos. And the Kids don't even have a phone and they want to watch on the TV in the livingroom too sometimes. With the remote it's easy for everyone to use it without fiddling with the Phone.
My parents have the one without the remote and they basically never use it because my mom doesn't have a mobile phone and my dad newer has it with him, it's always not charged or in some other room.
Thanks for mentioning KDE Plasma Big Screen it's an interesting attempt. It's written in Qt, like many of the TV UIs today anyway. I need to check it out.
Perfect, this will finally lock out all the old people of their devices because they forget their bitlocker password :D
