Oat milk, by far. I find it tastes the best of them all in coffee and tea, and works well in things like mashed potatoes too. I do also put it in porridge, but that feels... Uncomfortable.

This is exactly where I am. 15, maybe even 10, years ago I was excited by phone releases that had significant upgrades. This is no longer the case. Screen size ratios have maxed out, cameras are far better than anything I need them for, most flagships have (or have the option of) adequate storage.
Gimmicks like the foldable don't really excite me. I find them interesting, and could see myself owning one in the future if they become commonplace and affordable. But they're really not that interesting.
Ultimately, I use my phone primarily for messaging, emails, listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks and browsing the internet. Nothing on the Horizon is going to significantly improve those experiences for me.
I previously had a OnePlus 7 Pro and ran that until the Pixel 7 came out, as my battery life had significantly degraded. I don't see myself upgrading from this phone for several years at least.
The only thing that would change that, as far as I can predict, would be some startling innovation to battery technology that allows me multi-day battery life.
Edit: I would also jump ship onto a Linux phone if that were to pick up and become a serious contender.
Yes, no long commuting has slashed my podcast listening time too. I now only listen to them on the school run (if my son wants to listen too), or during chores.
I managed to reach level 8, but cannot beat that one. Is there a solution you know of? (Not asking you to share it, only to confirm)
My favourite three are:
-
Darknet Diaries
I imagine this one is familar to most podcast fans that might stumble upon this post. The host is a fantastic interviewer, storyteller and producer. He interviews incredibly interesting people and shares their stories about all things dark net: hacking, social engineering, dark web, darknet markets and more. -
Self-Hosted
A podcast about all things self-hosted. The two hosts are passionate self-hosters who like to discuss open-source solutions, self-hostable products and technical setups. They are highly experienced and have a ton of useful information to share. They have great guests on the show, and have built a brilliant community around the topic. -
Coding Blocks
A general software engineering podcast. I find some episodes a bit hit or miss, but the three hosts are hilarious, informative and very entertaining. You can tell they are three very close friends who absolutely vibe off of one another. They cover all sorts of topics including programming languages, development tools, books, conferences, frameworks, companies and more.
I hate to be a bore, and regurgitate the same "leftie" discourse that gets repeated a lot online, but:
This is because Royal Mail has become private and is now required to become profitable / increase it's value over time. Which is nonsense. It should be a public service funded by a mix of direct payment (e.g. stamps) and taxation.
If continuing to run six days per week, as the are currently obliged to, has become unsustainable then perhaps it is time it returns to public ownership.
