Sideloading apps on iOS has gotten a lot easier. I use sideloadly. It has to connect to your computer (wirelessly) once a week but does this automatically in the background. I’m still running Apollo, the best Reddit iOS app this way.

I have YT premium through Sri Lanka for $3/mo. Sponsorblock works in safari.

ROM apps like delta are in the App Store now. I have no idea about phone gaming otherwise.

Never ran into any content filtering.

If your gf uses iOS try it out there first and see how you like it.

New iPhones release on a pretty strict schedule each September so even if you don’t want the new model best to wait for older ones to be discounted.

Whenever there is a question in the article title just assume the answer is no. Saves time and is true for clickbait like this.

I wish there was arr software for YouTube that included Sponsorblock. Every one I’ve tried hasn’t really worked. Need it to be automated or I’m stuck using YouTube.

I’d love to block any headlines that mention musk from the technology community.

Read the original article to get the basics of the idea. But I also recommend all of his books.

I didn’t know that about the button area!

Wow, never heard of cinemageddon but it sounds right up my alley. I host a weekly ‘bad’ movie watch party and am always looking for more sources.

I have fios and a media server nas. I have good upload ratio with 3 other private trackers if anyone would be kind enough to invite me I will seed.

Or you get a set top box and don’t worry about the trash software that comes with the tv.

I really like my newish sony tv that has a basic mode. Disables all the smart BS so it functions just as a screen. I use an Apple TV or ps5 for all content.

Interesting. Detected the same way, audio scan? Maybe I need to finally try it out.

What sealed the deal for me was skip intro. Incredible feature I don’t believe any other option has.

Wait for lifetime memberships to go on sale if you can. There are a few sales a year. Usually on Black Friday.

As someone who setup his own nas over the pandemic I really like this approach. Needed a time intensive project to stay sane and I keep finding more useful things it can do.

Another thought I’ve had, plex has a skip intro feature. This works by scanning the audio from multiple episodes and showing the skip button when available. Maybe something like that could build up an ad library of the most obnoxious repetitive podcast ads and work across different podcasts. It wouldn’t work for unique self reads though.

I wish I had the technical knowledge to build something like this but I done even know where to begin.

IHeartradio is the worst. I have dropped off listening to podcasts I otherwise really like. Behind the bastards, anything Robert Evans does really. The ads are too bad.
