You know why that is? Because we fucking did something about it

A comment like this one saved me from giving up on my aging phone.

No matter how convinced you are you definitely cleaned it, there still could be a little bit more stuck in there.

They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

Say you’re a dictator without saying you’re a dictator

It’s been a while since I’ve played it but it is fun. I might just have to install it again

Well, I thought I had a little insight on the matter since I’m Italian, guess I was wrong. /s

Probably because there is a, perceived or cultivated, associations between Muslims and immigrants/people of color. And if you can’t outright punish someone based on “race” you go after the closest thing.

Based in the news I’ve read, the Russian government, and also the ones of many neighboring countries

USB-A’s legacy lives on

I use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.

I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.

Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.

The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.

So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.

From what I remember the chip itself is pretty small, the size is all due to the cooling component.

Also keep in mind you’ve probably seen a development version of a quantum computer, where things are set up to be easily accessible to allow fixing and tinkering, without regard for size and optimization of space.

Lots of countries are trying to encourage births, his approach is just a bit more… Direct. Enacting policies? Just tell people to bump uglies more!

Also, given South Korea’s population is projected to decline sharply, having more soldiers to throw in the frontlines would be a strategic advantage in a future war.

Oh the memories

Take that you porcelain slut

I gave them 10, just in case

Didn’t know that, that’s fine then

Because using proprietary standards puts you at the mercy of the technology owner
