Is vodka a root beer?

This is weird marketing, why not just say "we're merging Google podcast and YouTube music into one app"?

How crappy leadership destroys culture and employee's mental health.

There isn't a fader wheel on the ID.3 at least, so I'd assume the same in the ID.4

Thank god. This is literally the worst thing about my car (apart from the lane assist trying to kill me).

The other provider is Toob and they are indeed quite limited in location currently. I still pay less for a rolling contract with Cuckoo for my openreach connection that I did for Virgin gigabit (by ~£10).

I don't think "anything close" is even vaguely true. I have openreach FTTP at 900mbps down, and the bandwidth is the same or better than I ever got with virgin gigabit. I'm also about to switch to another FTTP provider who provides 900mbps down 900mbps up for £25 a month. Plus with both of those I can pay a little extra to have a monthly rolling contract.

Additionally my average latency dropped by more than half when ditching Virgin. I was genuinely shocked at how much better it was.

Nice, I went for Unifi for WiFi. I have two APs, and the controller runs on my Pi k8s cluster. They're pretty great for gigabit speeds.

I ended up buying a "mini-PC" as my router. It's quite a bit over your budget, and you'd need an AP of some kind for WiFi. I run proxmox on it, and pipe the NICs through to my OpenWRT VM. The performance is great, and given it has 2.5gbps NICs, it's somewhat future proof. UK Amazon link to the one I bought: https://amzn.eu/d/1pqfQEk

This source is quoted all the time and is based on someone misinterpreting YouTube artist revenue, it's actually the same as the Google figure listed.

Flipboard still exists?

I've had OLED phones since the Nexus 5 and have only had burn-in once, which was on the Nexus 5. It was due to me enabling the dev option to never turn the screen off. After 2 weeks of the screen being on 24/7 there was burn-in from the top bar.
