The dear people at the USB Forum should be rewarded with the Nobel prize in namology for their clear, superior and non-confusing naming scheme and naming process that even the nerdiest of nerds can't follow.

Sadly for us, they have the robustness of being perpetually offline due to being old and crappy. I'm sure even their internet is just standalone computers that you have to carry floppies between.

They don't pay equally to everyone. They benefit large artists more than smaller ones. If you only listen to your totally unknown friend's music on Spotify, most of your money will still go to popular artists you don't listen to, and your friend will get nothing because they're below the threshold of getting a payment. It's basically theft. Now if some of those popular artists are Spotify themselves behind the scenes, guess where your money is being funneled.

Absolutely. But I'd rather deal with charging the battery in the adapter than risking breaking my headphone cable or my phone. So for me the problem is worth moving.

Well this is a solution for people who specifically don't want Bluetooth earbuds/headphones. If you don't mind buying those then you should of course buy those instead.

Oh no... With the constant moving to the right of US politics, what if we're just going to end up with pre-Trump Republicans taking over the Democrats and the Republicans just being the clown party of hate.

As someone who loves and needs wired headphones but loves the convenience of BT - The solution is a Bluetooth dongle.

  • Plug your amazing headphones into the dongle
  • Keep the dongle in your pocket
  • Cable won't get caught as much
  • Cable won't suffer as much wear
  • Phone is much easier to handle
  • If the headphone jack gets glitchy and bad it's cheaper to replace a dongle than a phone

Downside: Many (most?) BT dongles have shitty audio quality so you need to find a good one.

I wish I could watch a video of that.

Also, headphone cords go under clothing when doing activities like that.

Most talkshows would benefit from just being replaced by reruns of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Yes, I do that too. And if I have to prepare something before an appointment I might make preparation its own calendar event, with reminders.

And when they are - it's nothing to worry about since they're not here anymore.
