Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!

Just until America ceases existing. Could be 1000 more years, could be next January. The future is full of possibilities!

You could have just admitted that you have no alternative. It's okay to do that.

"Strikes" made me think they were cancelling the deal. Like strike-through, crossed it out, etc. Too bad.

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets (arstechnica.com)

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

This is just one search result but it's showing 326 million phones shipped in just Q4 of last year. How many of those new phones do you think shipped with headphone jacks?

There's plenty of industry analysis out there that, while not perfect, is data showing that new phone sales have not been hampered by the removal of the headphone jack.

I'm rocking a Pixel 5a which does still have it and I do get a warm and fuzzy in my nerd brain by having it there. If I'm honest though, I used it maybe twice in the last year.
