Thats 50€ a month, its ridiculous and a punch on the mouth for those who supported the product in such an early stage.
As a comparison, I am using an S20FE 5G which I got for 300€ two years ago. Thats 12,50 per month and it still gets updates. Sure thats no high end phone, but I dont miss anything, fast OLED screen, 500GB storage through sd card, blazing fast, good camera.
But no security updates for the OS though which often means you kinda should think about to stop using it for more than an alarm clock, podcasts and spotify.
Interesting feature from ytdlp. Another reason why sponsor block might not be feasable for podcasts are inidividualized advertisements. There are few podcasts which e.g. have different ads depending for which country you are coming from. So going just by timecodes isnt an option.
Probably because of Project Mainline.
Its amazing once you start to realize how little you can watch even when you are subbed to all streaming services. In the years I used Netflix and co my consumption changed to 'I watch whats available'. Once I pirated again and joined a similar Plex server with a catalogue which contains pretty much every movie and tv show ever made, even international ones, it changed to 'What weird shit I really want to watch today'.
Even if would sub to every streaming service available to me (which would probably cost 100€ per month) I could only see 20% of the movies I have watched.
Before you upscale it is crucial to get the best rip possible. To my knowledge the best ripping and deinterlacing process is called QTGMC.
After that, experiment with AI upscalers. But the best Upscalers will only get so far when the initial rip isnt as best as possible.

Install Android Studio on your PC and create a new empty app. Plug in your mobile and deploy that app. Now select that app as the second one for the lower half. It should be all black, if its all white, change the background color.
Or look if there is an all black app in the store, probably a screen tester app.
Good to know. Never noticed it with my last phone (one plus). Its often not that clear which option is a Samsung addon and which is not.
Samsung has this feature build in and its called 'Extra dim' or similar. Its a quick setting one can get when customizing the tiles.
I used to use third party apps too, but it was annoying that you couldnt grant permissions or install new apps without deactivating the dimming app since it was a security risk to have an app which draws over other apps.
Spotify did this to me twice before traveling. So infuriating.
