    Don’t you have to be on the WiFi network to do this and then don’t you already have a much bigger problem?


    Yup. And, er, how does this cause an issue for other devices on your LAN? Nope, it could just unexpectedly control the power of the device plugged into it. Siri cocks that up often enough for this to be not really a big deal. Eek, did I say that out loud?

    Read on AppleInsider
    Er, hang on. Realme and oppo have increased their share, yet their percentage share has gone down. Er, have percentages changed since I was at school?

    looked at another way, Samsung lost 1% share and Apple gained 1%. Gotta be within a margin of error on the estimates?

    Is there a way of migrating your episode watched list to any of these alternatives? I gave up on the hunt when I realised I'd be battling to maintain my current list of watched episodes from my various podcasts.
    Sorry for the delay!
    I've never tried it, but I've heard people talking about subscription migration (OPML files, etc.) between apps. My hunch is that it varies by app, and depends which you're going from and to.

    My primary app had been Overcast. When I started moving podcasts to Castamatic, I just made sure I was up-to-date on that particular podcast, then subscribed in Castamatic and unsubscribed/deleted in Overcast. But, yeah, if you're wanting to keep track of listened/un-listened, that would require a lot of work (marking them), or some kind of export/import. I don't think OPML export/import handles listen history, just subscription.

    There is a Podcasting 2.0 feature called synchronization, but I'm not exactly sure if this might be what you're talking about... but it hasn't been widely implemented (and the chances of Apple doing it are very low).
    Heehee, but thanks for the full answer! My issue seems to be with long running podcasts that I’m slowly working through old episodes from years ago. Podcasts where I’m up to date seem less annoying of late.

    Just feels wrong typing in my (non-Touch ID) Mac password into a web browser. Could be the website phishing my Mac password…

  • EcoFlow Advanced Kit review: Power your whole house with batteries

    appleinsideruserappleinsideruser
    The future is hooking up batteries to your house to take advantage of off peak energy. You need a proper inverter integrated into your supply to make this practical. The battery can be your parked EV. 

    PS well done on your comments Nate! We live and learn…
