Fellas, would you?
  • Was about to say the same lol

  • Is the fairphone really worth it?
  • I can get behind this

  • Is the fairphone really worth it?
  • How ironic is it that the guy who makes personal attacks over a debate surrounding freakin headphone jacks calls others a snowflake :)

  • Is the fairphone really worth it?
  • Ah yes, it is totally unfair to expect consumers who prefer wired audio to make a one time purchase of a 10$ dongle. Instead phone manufacturers should continue to ship every single phone with an audio jack for years to come. And anybody who says it is fine to remove the audio jack because those who prefer wired audio can use a dongle is obviously a samsung shill.

  • How is buying a dongle you shouldn’t need better for the planet than a phone manufacturer providing a headphone jack??

    Did you even read my reply fully?

    Go into a recording studio and see how many wireless headphones they use

    Recording studios also don't use a smartphone to do their work.

    Even if we do assume that the majority of the world still uses wired earphones, it still makes sense to remove the audio jack for reasons I have explained already.

  • Basically you need to buy a 10$ dongle to make it work. How hard is that?

  • Citation needed.

    I don't have a source ready with me to back up my statement. But at least here in India, almost everyone I see in public transportation use wireless earbuds. Usually I look like the odd one out for wearing wired earphones.

    If people already have wired headphones, then the most eco-friendly solution would be to enable users to continue to use them, and not force them to buy even more new products.

    You absolutely don't need to go out and buy a new headphones if your phone doesn't have an audio jack. Just buy a dongle. Yes, I'm aware that this is worse for the planet than just including an audio jack in the phone. But if you buy a dongle once, you don't have to worry about your future phones not having a headphone jack. So in the long run, this move is better for the planet.

  • Companies removed it to sell overpriced wireless headphones.

    Of course, I'm not denying this. That still doesn't negate my point about audio jacks being redundant ports.

    It’s way better to use regular headphones than the wireless pieces of crap with batteries and an amplifier and a bluetooth receiver in them.

    Yes, and those regular headphones CAN be plugged into phones without headphone jack via the USB-C port

  • Is the fairphone really worth it?
  • There is a good reason to remove it. Especially for a company like fairphone. Why waste resources and money into making a redundant component (USB-C can do audio, also the majority of people have switched to wireless audio) when you're trying to make a planet-conscious product?

  • Have you pre-ordered Starfield? Why or why not?
  • Same here. Will play it on gamepass and buy it when it's on sale for a couple bucks

  • The Chandrayaan-3 mission has successfully landed on the Moon’s south pole
  • He also uses alt accounts to spew the same anti-India shit. He needs to be banned

  • India's Chandrayaan-3 becomes the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon
  • recent ones was also downplaying Modi letting lower caste children starve…

    Lol what?! When did I? Care to link the comment where I downplayed Modi letting children starve? You're straight up lying now, aren't you?

    Aren't you the same guy who said India launching 104 satellites (96 of them were American in fact) in one go made "no logical sense" but was done just for PR? Aren't you also the same guy who said India is not capable of building a linux distro? (My brother in Christ, we just landed a fucking spacecraft on the moon 😂). Your disdain for my country couldn't be more blatant. And of course you had to label me a "far right extremist" for calling out your bullshit

  • India's Chandrayaan-3 becomes the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon
  • Bro has made it his life mission to talk shit about India and ISRO. I mean just look at this guy's comment history.

  • Why did you choose your username?
  • No, this one. But I vibe to TheFatRat too
