Is there a way to "clear" Apple podcasts locally on iOS?
You are welcome ... but I guess this is really a niche problem. But well, I identified one channel (probably the wrong word, not sure how to properly map the German "Sendung" to the correct terminology in English) that had an episode that was played half way in. I reset that episode, and I will check later today whether that makes it go away in the car display.

Thank you very much I already checked most of these things, and that "re-exert control" feels way to burdensome. I have to admit that I find the Apple podcast thingy sufficient for myself (and I like the fact that I have the same app on my Mac, and can quickly identify episodes I already marked as listened). So ... maybe I will just have to live with this ;-)

Which text editor can I use with large files (>500 MB)?
@jcollum I would rate SlickEdit as "legacy" "enterprise" product, cash cow like. Meaning: It would really need a major overhaul, as it is in many areas no longer up to free/much cheaper competition. But that doesn't happen ... so it is slowly dying I guess. I definitely do not use it for code development. But my company still pays for the licence, so I keep it around ... as said: even in 2022, products like Visual Studio code have issues when you go for files in the GB range. Whereas I easily worked with 20 GB files on AIX 12 years ago with Slick Edit.

How to run an uninstaller from an outdated .dmg?
Well, it is just a script. I just ran it from the .dmg, same thing: some warnings, it gets to the final print ... but after a restart, the device driver still shows up in the "disabled software" section.

How to run an uninstaller from an outdated .dmg?
Yeah, this probably works. But then: I opened the file in an editor, and saved as shell script, and ran that directly from the command line. It gets to the last print that says "uninstall successful", but alas, there were also some warnings printed before, and after reboot, the device driver still shows up. So, your answer is perfectly fine, it is just that ... running that script actually doesn't do what it is supposed to do ;-(
