MORE!

I’ve recently exchanged Davinci Resolve for Kdenlive on my pc, and have been extremely pleased with it.

It opens a PDF version of any webpage. It may break some elements, but often gives access to text hidden behind paywall popups.

That’s awfully helpful

I find the idea of a phone without any ports incredibly distressing. You’re probably right, though. It won’t be that long before apple and/or samsung try that.

I realize now that I’m likely in a loud minority.

As long as there are half-decent phones with usb & 3.5mm ports and sd slots, I’m content. The large manufacturers can do what they want for all I care - I just hope my niche persists.

Thanks for this exchange.

Fair. Although I have more to say.

Maybe this connector from the 50s has survived this long because it’s perfect (or at least really good) at its job? There is a reason why all professional equipment uses analog connections.

I agree that at a price point of 6€ or 20€, it doesn’t make much of a difference for most headphones - although I’d like to mention that for 20€, you’re already in the price range of cheap IEMs (“In-Ear Monitors”), which are really good in terms of price to sound quality.

If you want reliable earbuds with good sound quality and affordable price (between 20€ and 100€), IEMs are a really good choice.

Also, their cables are pretty much always robust and replaceable, so if one does break, you won’t have to buy new headphones altogether.

The only “caveat” with IEMs is that they exclusively have analog connections (3.5mm). I think that’s a good thing, though: the manufacturer has more budget for better cables and audio drivers this way.

I hope I could shed some more light on this :)

USBC and lightning are both still digital connections, meaning you have to have a digital-to-analog converter un the headphones themselves, making them more expensive and more complicated.

Also, you can’t charge and listen at the same time (without an additional cable).

3.5 mm is the “old reliable” - I will never buy a phone without both a 3.5mm jack and a MicroSD card slot.

Afaik… Swift is a musician first and foremost. She might be the wealthiest musician on the planet - but i find it hard to equate the scale of her “evildoings” to people like Bezos or the average oil company.

Holy wall of text. Well explained :)

That first sentence made me physically recoil. What is wrong with you? Go seek help, for all of our sakes.

Do you license every comment of yours? If yes, why? Tbh i’m just curious

Conservatives don’t want you dead. They want you working (until you die) - preferably in labor camps (prisons), where you will go for sleeping outside.

Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say.

There are times when a clean cut hurts less than a crude one. We’re not talking about actual damage done, which wasn’t part of the analogy to begin with.

That entirely depends on how deep the stick goes into your eye - though at some point it won’t matter anyway.

The dull stick is going to gouge your eye out entirely. I have no frame of reference of what would hurt more, but I guess that would be it.

I’m curious. Please (Unironically) tell me about the anti-democratic nature of germany.
