You do realize that you can have both, right? Your laptop could have 6/7 ports but you could choose to use a usb-c hub for convenience. And, if you're travelling or your hub breaks, you still have all the ports in your laptop.

That way you're at work during the week while not doing anything productive for yourself or the company and you then spend your free time actually working for your employer. Great idea.

Nope. Depends on the app you're using.

She did leave a 1 star review in glassdoor when she quit.

Install a custom rom and be done with this proprietary bullshit

Stop buying crappy earbuds then. I have IEMs and headphones several decades old that still work just fine.

It also (usually) manages to hide the space where the ad would be.

Yeah, I'm not watching Tek Syndicate content.

Ok, then you're talking only about usb headphones.

If you have a dongle and it breaks, good luck fixing the cable. God forbid the dac is integrated to the headphone itself. Also, if the dac fails you're also sol. So yeah, I wouldn't call having a more expensive set up that's also more likely to fail and doesn't have any added benefits a good alternative.

Dude. The only difference between a normal headphone with a 3.5mm jack and a "usb" headphone is that the latter needs to have its own dac/amp. Guess what? YOUR PHONE ALREADY HAS THAT. Usb headphones are more complex, more expensive and not guaranteed to work indefinitely.

Removing the jack makes 0 sense.

My sony XM4s had to be replaced less than a year after I bought them because the fw killed the battery.

Even if the battery has a long lifespan, it's still impossible for it to match the longevity (and ease of repair) a cable has.

Did you forget to mention that fixing a headphone jack costs a few bucks and can be done by pretty much anyone with a soldering iron?

Maybe it doesn't matter to you but it does to me. I'm subscribed and watch Level1 videos so I still remember the mess Logan caused. They had a nice channel that could be even better today but he fucked it up.

(thanks for the link, though)

You did, because you're assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it's been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don't have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.

That opportunity cost is not a thing.

Moondrop Aria. $70/80, comes with a carrying case + detachable cable.

If all of your wired iems broke, you either broke them yourself or were buying very crappy iems.

What a dumb analogy.

Amnis is a play store app.

If it wasn't for the fact that not everyone is on vacations at the same time then yeah, sure.

Yeah, that analogy doesn't track. But sure buddy, whatever you say.

They said it in the first sentence.

The only problem I have ever had with headphones are pad/eartip degradation and cable issues. It's rare for the driver to fail.

That's in stark contrast to battery powered headphones, given thart batteries will 100% fail given a few years and they're (in most cases) not user replaceable.

"cannot use"? Where you born without hands? Also, that "practice" is not an ancient tradition. It's an extremely simple process that takes 15 minutes. Also no, normal headphones will not "die out".

That it should be there in the first place and that the reassons given for not including it are completely false.

At this point I'm not sure if you're trolling or just plain dumb. Either way, I'm not wasting any more of my time. Bye.

They literally got to the point in the first sentence. The point was that the article wasn't about the browser, it was about the search engine. If you'd actually read it you'd also know that the author was also wrong in several aspects and updated it with corrections.

I think you're being a bit self-centered, i's always going to be summer somewhere. This is a tool used globally.
