I just yearn for the days when it played what I want from up next, not random other stuff. Currently I have to go into library to play shows. 

Maybe I’m missing a trick, but up next doesn’t work for me (and friends say the same).

You're not missing anything. They ruined the app a couple of years or so ago. I like a view of all my downloaded podcasts in chronological order. It used to be the first thing you saw in Podcasts. They they buried it and behind basically, ads.

I always like to use Apple built-in apps over third party apps. Podcasts is the only Apple app I've abandoned. I tried a few and ended up on Pocket Casts. Every time I open the app, the first thing I see are all of my downloaded podcasts in chronological order. I click on the Discover tab if I want to find a particular podcast or something new. They way it used to be on Apple's app.

My array of Apple stuff is in a perfect place to wait for the details of hardware subscriptions. I don't anticipate needing any Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPod etc purchases for a couple of years or so.

I am interested in this and curious to see if them make it worth my while. The iPhone Upgrade Program, for instance, never really worked for me. Not a great improvement over buying outright financially. Also, some limitations in convenience.

Mmm... Smell that? Looks like we have a heaping helping of Q this morning.

I had to look that document up - it appears to originate on WikiLeaks so it may be legitimate.

But, so many of those shapes are pretty generic, like the butterfly and spiral. Those images have appears throughout history in various cultures and religions for reasons other than what Rythmage insinuates.

It's like calling Buddhists (or other cultures) Nazis over their long historic use of the Swastika. The Nazis stole it from them, not the other way around.

Sure. Sure. That explains why it was posted here. In the comments of a tech blog.

"Most hollywood actors/actresses are involved. A lot of evil in the tech companies." No Q there. Nosireebob.

A slight tech bump. Really, a reconfiguration. I haven't had a chance to hear them yet, but my guess is those who think they sound slightly better are right. Apple wouldn't have not improved the sound.

My originals sound great. I'll stick with them because, again it's just a slight reconfiguration. I would have been temped if the advance in sound quality was as drastic as AirPods Pro 2 over the originals. Or maybe if they had added exciting new capabilities.

But alas...
