Why do y'all have to write in such a condescending/rude way?

My point was Bluetooth is not better in every way and I stand by that (you seem to too).

Personally, I have 2 pairs of headphones 1 pair of in-ears and 1 pair of over-ears, I use my over-ears for everything except band practice and gigs (where I use in-ears). Buying more headphones just so I can use them with my phone seems ridiculous to me.

I am happy that you find joy in wireless headphones, and I'll stop talking now in fear of summoning that Candybar Jerk again.

I know people don't really value it these days, but to me there is great value in (stupidly) simple technology.

The more complicated a system is, the more prone it is to breakage. We have lots of areas in our life where we already rely on complicated circuits. I don't need to add headphones to that list.

Have you seen anyone in a music recording studio or a stage wearing Bluetooth headphones?

My point is not that everybody needs headphones for studio sessions or gigs etc. My point is simply that Bluetooth is not just better as you seem to imply.

Different technologies have different usecases, wired headphones won't die for a very long time, and there are good reasons for it.

I don't intend on turning this into some sort of fight but to me your comment has big

"I don't see the problem why can't other people just have enough money"

vibes (Also I checked and an adapter costs me 12$ on Amazon). I don't think you intended it this way, so I'll shut up now.

As to my actual answer:

  • Leaving it on headphones is not an option to me (I explained it above)
  • Buying one for every jacket might work, but what do I do in summer?
  • Please correct me on this but afaik it's not standardized
    • USB output is usually digital, while headphone obviously require an analog signal. I assume the vendors just use certain pins in the USB jack for transmitting the analog signal while keeping the rest grounded.
    • I know for certain that Samsung adapters don't work on OnePlus phones for example.

I could go on, but there's honestly no point. We're different people with different uses for our phones/headphones. I won't buy a phone without a headphone jack as long as I still have wired headphones.

I have 2 main problems with that:

  • My headphone cable is long and sometimes it gets tangled in all sorts of places. The adapters are small and flimsy, if I leave them on the cable I assume they'll break soon. I have no problems with a broken headphone cable as it is an easy and cheap fix. I don't think the adapters are seriously fixable tho.
  • Everything else uses a headphone jack everywhere. I have yet to see a use for USB-C to audio jack anywhere else. Which makes sense as USB is digital and audio is analog. I assume many people have no use for headphones outside of their phones, I am not one of those people.

Honestly I'd probably buy a phone without a camera before I'd buy a phone without a headphone jack.

I was sold on the idea of a fairphone but that's a dealbreaker to me. I very briefly owned a phone without a headphone jack (borrowed from a friend while my current one was in repair), having to think of that stupid adapter all the time was hell.

The secret is that you have to always add salt. Even a little salt can make oatmeal so much better tasting!

Funny, I would have said the same about voidlinux.

I think a common misconception about voidlinux is that it's a distro solely used by people who have made it their lifegoal to tell people about how bad systemd is. I use void because it's fast, and frankly because I like the way void does stuff. I feel like many people in the community are much more indifferent to systemd than people realize.

Haven't we already confirmed ignition?

Not that I know of. You can obviously just neglect most energy costs when considering "ignition" and the proclaim you've achieved ignition. These may legitimately be significant advances but it doesn't mean we're ready to start thinking about actually sustaining fusion energy at scale.

Archaeology -> people, Paleontology -> non people

Both are about digging old stuff out of the ground (sometimes)

Source: not an archaeologist, but I was told so by other people who are also not archaeologists

In Bonn gibt es z.B. ein blaues Schild für geteilte Nutzung eines Gehweges der 50 cm breit ist (geschätzt, ich rede halt von so einem kleinen Fußgängerweg), zudem sind große Teile des Weges durch Baumwurzeln beschädigt. Ehrlich gesagt finde ich das blaue Schild eine Frechheit, da müssen die Autos halt zum Überholen auf eine andere der 3 Spuren ausweichen.

I didn't put it down, it was taken down.
