  • The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

    Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

    People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

    Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)








  • If this was true, you’d use an ad blocker, and donate directly to your favorite content creators. They’d see way more money, and you wouldn’t be supporting an evil organization.

    They’d have more freedom to switch platforms as their revenue isn’t directly tied to youtube, but rather their viewers. Freedom to switch platforms gives youtube incentive to run a better site and charge a more reasonable fee for premium features.

    But this isn’t what you’re doing. You’re supporting youtube directly and supporting all their business practices in the process






  • Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they’re good people and treat you with love and respect.

    Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

    Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn’t make sense to support them.

    There is no single answer to your question other than “it depends”

    Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can’t charge and listen to music.

    Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can’t think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can’t use a seperate dac, it means you can’t plug them into studio gear. It’s just so incredibly limiting.

    There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

    No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It’s a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it’s like that for a reason
