I use a small Sandisk Clip for my audio books, I plug a mono ear bud and I get hours and hours of listening time

I got Shokz open run, they hook over your ear and the left and right conductors are connected by a thin band that goes round your neck. They do take a while to get used to but if you can then all the problems of ear buds & tiny ear canals are gone

Bone conducting earphones, my stupid tiny ear canals mean I can't get any ear buds, to stay in my ears, the bone conducters have changed my life....

Many years ago, my 2 kids an me playing multiplayer COD 2, I had 3 networked PCs we went in the map and worked together, I was in the first floor laying down with my sniper rifle, the kids were covering the stairs behind me, we owned that map, working together it was an amazing and thrilling experience for all of us, we talked about it for ages afterwards and was the started of many great COD multiplayer sessions for us.

Google recently announced that it's podcast service is shutting down and moving to YouTube music, I don't want or need YouTube music so I've already moved to Podcast Republic, it has a few ads but they can be removed with a small one off payment. Google just wants to shove all it's users into YouTube and YouTube music for maximum ads and data harvesting.

The thing is, no matter how many times big tech companies are caught out and facing inquiries and legal judgements for bending and breaking the rules, lying, doing illegal things, targeting kids, misinformation, election fixing etc etc NOTHING EVER CHANGES
