  • Thanks for the long reply.

    Did not know the radio function existed. On mobile at least I can’t find it on the artists page? I have to go into the … Menu on a track in a playlist?

    I listen to a lot of instrumental stuff while working, so I may be going too indy? Someone like soundcriters should should have something on their page?

    I dislike that you have to go to a playlists page to play it in shuffle, you can’t do it from the playlists menu.

    Double clicking should play a track but doesn’t.




  • Unpopular opinion (here anyway):

    Google timeline is really useful! Let’s you know where you where when you need to know. Have used it, or told people to use it multiple times when someone needs to know when/how long they have been out of the country, or when they moved house etc.

    They made a change recently so that it’s all local or something? Not sure how that works.

    Having home, work and other key locations set in Google maps is also… Really useful.






  • The idea is that while it punishes the citizens of the country doing the tariffs, it makes their local industry more competitive in the country. This can be used fairly or unfairly.

    Take steel for example. Most countries consider it a strategic resource, the want/need to be producing it to guarantee a supply in case of war, supply issues etc. Another country might be able to sell it cheaper, but you want to ensure your country still produces it; put a tariff on it, so foreign steel costs as much as the local stuff, keeping them in business.

    Europe put a tariff on Chinese cars, because China was subsidising their companies so they could flood Europe with unfairly cheap cars. (Although local companies dropped the ball too)

    Trumps tariffs won’t work as no one trusts that they will remain - he changes them on a whim, so no one can build out manufacturing to take advantage of them.
