It’s like complaining a new PC doesn’t come with USB-A and only USB-C.
Design decisions shouldn’t always be up to the end user. Every single option can’t always be included forever and ever.
If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones.
Don’t let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.
Because everyone in the supply chain is being paid a fair wage and not being exploited.
Based on what? Cost? The whole premise is sustainability and ensuring the people who build it aren’t working sweatshop workers like with every other major phone. I say this knowing full well I’m using one of those phones but Fairphone has only recently become available in my country.
So it depends on if you want a bad deal by parting with some extra dollars or it’s a bad deal for the workers that are getting exploited so you save a few dollars.
Ok, Fairphone lied I guess. You obviously no better than the manufacturers. It’s not like other phones with those jacks likely cost more to water proof those jacks or anything. Everything is always exactly the same and doesn’t cost extra to do anything differently.
Weird. I could have sworn software comes on it too. Your phone doesn’t have software?
At that point you’re getting a very specific phone for a very specific purpose. It’s not the rule but the exception. So it doesn’t apply as a reason for any other phone. You’ve argued why the LG has a 3.5mm jack, not why Fairphone should have a 3.5mm jack. I’d also be curious as to how powerfully it can even drive headphones at that point. It must also have a stronger amplifier than most phones too. It’d be meaningless without it. What’s the point of high fidelity if it can’t drive headphones that can utilize it.
This is all getting away from the purpose of the Fairphone. It’s not a dedicated music player. It’s not advertising high fidelity music, psrticyij relation to other phones. I don’t think anyone is calling that LG phone “green” either.
Congratulations to anyone who can think of an edge case that wouldn’t apply to the Fairphone. Might as well mention a tensor chip not being in the Fairphone.
They’ll never include it as it needs the headphone jack. Unless they expect a huge market for radio, that is big enough for them to offer a mea culpa and give back head phone jacks, it’s never going to happen.
Would people love to get headphone jacks back? I’m sure. But I don’t see the market being there to get companies to give in on that.
The shows don’t really exist anymore. At least not in my area. Well over a decade ago they were all replaced by playlists and commercials.
Who is listening to music on the same headset while making a phone call?
And why use your phone’s onboard DAC at that point if you want quality headphones?
I didn’t say a USB headset is inherently better. The one on your phone isn’t inherently better either if you’re using a 3.5mm jack either. So the argument can work both ways. And to be honest, no phone really has amazing onboard DAC, and especially not the Fairphone.
I mean, I don’t know their other practices, but the removal of the headphone jack is hardly green washing. I’d bet it actually is more sustainable to not include it tbh, plus it is likely more affordable. Beyond that, with just looking into it, as I expected, they’re a more sustainable and repairable set of headphones compared to the rest of the market. Moreover, I highly doubt dropping the jack would drive folks to decide to buy these if they weren’t already. They’re not tiny earbuds. They’re over the ear which is generally something folks buy when they actually are looking for them.
Sometimes accelerated progress can lead to waste, but holding onto legacy tech for too long can also lead to waste.
It’s not good for those who live in the US. A speaker needs to be elected before they can pass anymore funding.
Because spying on you is bad. They mention the privacy implications in the article.
Space forecaster? “Today there will be mostly nothing with a small chance of satellite showers in the evening. And when is the evening? I don’t know. It’s space.”
Over the top is the correct way and I will die* on this hill.
You seem to be misunderstanding my position entirely. I suggest you read my first comment again. Cause you’re using a lot of words and details to explain useless stuff.
Edit: I don’t disagree it’s a tool. I disagree its the same as a person being inspired by others. And I am against the claim that they should freely use whatever they want without credit.
Are your comprehension skills that of a four year old?
If it’s specifically what you want, it’s not AI otherwise you’d be over fitting.
I’m not talking about any specific tools. I’m talking about the actual theory. I’m glad you can contradict yourself by claiming very little can get you immense details (except it’s also exactly what you want?)
I’m sorry I offended you and that you’re getting ridiculously angry and defensive when I said creating something via AI isn’t art.
It doesn’t though. At best, it messes with the boot record (which has been mentioned) which isn’t deleting a partition. Windows can’t delete a partition it doesn’t actually use.
You can continue your inability to understand the actual details of what you’re talking about. I’m not defending Windows. I’m defending telling the truth about PCs. You can continue your fanboyism and inexperience with operating systems and hard drives.
This post has devolved into shit and filled with a bunch of whiners complaining about the same dumb shit that isn’t a goal of this phone. Might as well whine the new iPhone doesn’t cost under $400 for as reasonable of a complaint anything on this post is.
