Why spend several hours with friends when you could spend an hour alone on a jet

Incredibly impressed with that sear considering the middle didn’t get above room temperature

Here I am on my zenphone 10 wishing it was a little smaller

The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

Haven’t looked much into the breach, but probably the biggest issue is passwords. If unencrypted, and a user uses the same generic password for their email or bank or whatever, that possess a serious concern.

This highlights the importance of not reusing passwords

Edit: looks like passwords were hashed with bcrypt, which is really quite excellent. Very unlikely anybody is getting actual passwords from this leak.

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can’t charge and listen to music.

Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can’t think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can’t use a seperate dac, it means you can’t plug them into studio gear. It’s just so incredibly limiting.

There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It’s a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it’s like that for a reason

All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

IQ is useful for an individual to asses mental degradation. It’s not useful to compare IQ to others, but to compare your own personal reaults, after something like a stroke or an accident where brain damage may have occurred.

That being said, it needs to be a proper IQ test administered by a psychologist and not a random IQ test website

I’d MUCH rather my tax dollars go to public transport for the masses, as opposed to embedding magnets in roads to help wealthy self-driving car owners
