This looks very VERY promising! I'll try to install it tomorrow and Post here the results! Thanks?

It looks interesting, but more focused on conversions than actual operations it seems:

octave:37> a.value = 100
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 100
    unit = W

octave:38> a.unit = 'W'
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 100
    unit = W

octave:39> b.value = 3
b =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 3
    unit = s

octave:40> b.unit = 's'
b =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    value = 3
    unit = s

octave:41> a*b
error: binary operator '*' not implemented for 'scalar struct' by 'scalar struct' operations

automatically no, but perhaps there's a way to replace it. If there's a way to check if a variable is "divisible by another symbolic one" then it would be not so hard to implement this behavior

Look at the corner between the four "paragraphs"... WHY? Please Microsoft align them properly

Why do you need a waterproof laptop? (I'm just curious)

It's funny: if the telemetry is opt-in, I'll opt in, if it's opt-out, I'll opt out

Is this real or just a meme?

Nice

Is there some lore about this I don't know?

Other answer seems to suggest that the problem is that the same podcast can be available, depending on where and who is listening to it, with different length due to different ads injected into. Here's my probably stupid and completely ignorant suggestion: instead of using timestamps for both begin and end of the ads segment, you could use a timestamp for the beginning, and an hash of the first part of "non-ads" segment. I'll try to explain better:

|----------------xxxxx--------------------|
                ^     |___|

The xxx is the ads segment, the ^ is the timestamp of the beginning of the ads, the |___| is a small duration segment (for example, 0.5 seconds) right after the ads segment. The data of that segment is hashed and used as "end ads segment indicator".

On the other device, with a different duration of the ads, you should start hashing it to find the corresponding segment.

Is this doable or did I just said a bunch of idiot things?

If newpipe/tubular had the option to sync your piped or invidious account to sync the subscription and watch history automatically it would be by far the best.
