I think people who dislike the headphone jack must be young and not have (good) wired headphones.
Older people (older than teenagers and young adults I mean) often have a few pairs of good headphones they got over the years, and it's a massive waste to just throw them away and buy wireless because that's what the trends demand. And in most cases wireless won't sound as good, because the budget needs to go to bluetooth chips, and dacs, and batteries and all that crap, instead of just focusing on audio.

According to Wikipedia, 'The original 1⁄4 inch (6.35 mm) version descends from as early as 1877', and it's been an industry standard since then.
You can use it not just for headphones but as a line out, to connect all kinds of audio devices between them. You can hook up your phone to a car audio system, an old radio (if it has input, I think most do), a guitar pedal or an amplifier, a reverb or an effects unit, etc., just with the "magic" of wires.

This is the kind of post we need around here :)

I suggest you do poop, your plan atm sounds cartoonishly stupid and likely to blow up in your face.

Do keep us posted though!

If you're considering buying one you might want to take into account that they removed the headphone jack so they can sell their own wireless buds and headphones.

Garry pulled Linux support from Rust so imho he can get fucked too :)

Edit: to clarify I mean after I and other people purchased it with Linux support.
So now he knows what it feels like when you purchase something and the seller changes terms on ya. Nice!

Lol what a hot take.

No, we expect them to regulate a multi-billion dollar industry because that's what governments do. Healthcare is a multi billion dollar industry. So is agriculture, and many others.

Part of the US' PR strategy is to use a person of color when voting for genocide. Makes it seem like "see even minorities agree on this one".

Oh no, not the golf courses!

Afaik the charges were just a tool fabricated to be used against him.
He exposed US war crimes and therefore they made him an enemy of the state and want to make an example out of him, to show others that when going against the US you have no rights - they can torture you, imprison you forever, etc.

But how would them not having the disease make them worse people?

Stupid corporate vultures. He had good videos and if anything was promoting F1.

Wow, real mask off moment, though they were using the "German law" pretext for a while now.

Regarding the Android bit, it's so cancerous because everything is locked down and users have no control over the OS. They don't have admin rights on their own device. Nothing to do with Linux, that's jus the kernel. Android + GNU utils & root access would be completely different.
People shit on the GNU/Linux meme, but Android actually proves that just the Linux kernel can be put in an OS that's just as hostile to the user as anything proprietary.

We all know companies are pushing for a return to offices but I expected more pushback from employees.
Luckily I have it in my contract that I am a remote worker and the company doesn't even have an office in my city, so I'm safe, but still I'd like to see wfh become the new normal.

Reminds me of a joke I'm going to attempt to translate:

• Why do woodpeckers have beaks?
• So they don't smash their heads against the tree.

What a bunch of psychos.

Legislation to stop gambling for children when?

I wanted to get a Fairphone 4 until I saw I saw it didn't have a headphone jack. Made me think all their "sustainable" mottos are just marketing.

Purism with their Librem phones took people's money and didn't send them the product so I didn't want to chance it or support a company that does that.

So in the end I got a Pixel 7 instead and put Graphene OS on it. Not particularly happy but didn't seem like there was a better choice.

Recently found out from a Louis Rossman video that the lead dev of Graphene has some mental health issues that don't make him a very trustworthy individual. Supposedly he stepped down but he's probably still contributing code.

Tl;dr: phones = bad

There is no good faith argument that can be made for the removal of the headphone jack. Companies removed it to sell overpriced wireless headphones.
They said it was due to size, but new phones are quite chunky these days so that's not true. Waterproofing? Can be done, many phones have waterproofing and a headphone jack.
Costs? Come on it's a very simple, very old, plastic bit.
And sustainability? "planet-conscious"? You must be kidding. It's way better to use regular headphones than the wireless pieces of crap with batteries and an amplifier and a bluetooth receiver in them.

The title is a straight up lie. She died in a car accident says OP.

The fact that AI can't reproduce her to OP's satisfaction is ...good?

I saw the news that Microsoft is eying to buy them. That'd be a tragedy and we'd say goodbye to such contributions.
