Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It's maddening that they did actually take away the headphone jack from all modern phones and there's nothing we can do about it even though it objectively sucks

@V0ldek

Does anyone sell a case with a built-in USB DAC and 3.5mm jack?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

But there's no space on the new thin phones.

STFU yes there is. Gimme my 3.5mm.

"The perfect size of the screen is ((3.5 + (year - 2010) * 0.5)) inches."

STFU. Make phones small like iPhone 4 again.

there’s nothing we can do about it

Outright rejection of their shit, I won't buy new smartphones from them. Currently using a dumbphone although the case is breaking and they don't make this one any more. Nokia could work but costs quite a bit tbh. Getting rid of the phone entirely is tempting.

If I ever buy a smartphone again it will be the cheapest second hand thing I can find. Maybe don't even take it out the house, it can stay at home like a landline and will be restricted to at most LAN connections only.
