What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?
Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

My phone, laptop, & DAP all conveniently have a headphone jack so I can enjoy better quality sound, with no lantency, no spotty connectivity, no pairing lag, no need for firmware upgrades or proprietary apps, a cheaper price, easy to find the monitors since they are tethered together, & with better sustainability without lithium ion batteries while never have to worry about charge either.
What was the upside of wireless again?
The upside is "my phone is a bitch and doesn't have a jack."
I fucking wish, but GrapheneOS was more important to me.
Edit: oh sorry just realized you're on .ml, "my phone is a doody-head and doesn't have a jack."
Whereas my approach is the opposite where I refuse GrapheneOS since I can’t have headphone jack 😄
Understandable lol, it's my only complaint (well and no microSD.)
I have both :)
Lucky bastard lol. At least my phone is free from the constraints of google and has the bootloader relocked! I'm considering getting a dedicated MP3 player like the good ol days but then I'd need a fanny pack for all the shit I'd be carrying.
I have a $100-ish DAP that works pretty well & I use it regularly for music, & as a DAC, & as a tether from a wireless Bluetooth device to it with my wired IEMs in it. There are things in the category that can work for you on a budget, but I would hesitate to recommend the actual one I have.
I understand the complaints because I hated it when Pixel dropped the jack. But it can be a smoother process than jacks.
I get in my car and no longer fumble to pull my phone out and plug it in. Pairing is quicker than plugging in a cable.
When doing yardwork I used to have to fish my cord through my shirt or it would get caught and yanked out by a tree branch. Even then it was cumbersome because of too much slack or too little slack causing disconnects or snags.
It's not perfect. A downside that still might exist (I bypassed the problem years ago so I don't know if they ever fixed it.) was Google's auto pairing that wasn't able to be turned off. When I walked close to the house from outside, my phone would decide on its own to pair with speakers in the house. But that's a Google problem, not Bluetooth. It didn't exist with Nexus because you could manually control pairing.
EWaste is a problem.
