Things are heating up for Samsung.

I'm bemused as to why the Apple PR* company in the UK is running that item as the main item on their world news section.  :hmm:

I really hope that all phones don't go headjack less now that the Pixel 2 is following Apple's lead. :thumbsdown:

Wireless headphones are much nicer though, sure it's another thing to have to charge but I love having no wires tangling up.

They also cost more to replace.

Sure, and for that reason I've never spent much on headphones. Currently using a set of €25 bluetooth headphones called Ink'd from Skullcandy. They're discreet with pretty good sound and have surprisingly stayed alive for almost a year.

Sadly I'm not allowed to use proper headphones at work, goddamn passengers. :P

And my current ones were €13. Also, it really is about limiting options. You can, of course, use wireless headphones with phones with a headjack. :P

I hope the same but you can always expect a manufacturer to keep it. Flip phones are still a thing.

My pc is not recognizing my phone. Tried a bunch of things and it just won't do it.  :hmm:

It recognizes my portable hard drive though.

create a Linux Boot disk, use Mint, Ubuntu or any other distro you might like, boot in live mode (don't install), plug your phone, see if Linux detects it.  If yes, there is a driver problem in Windows, check your manufacturer to see if there's something special required.  If not, the problem may be with your phone.

The Minsky Moment

The headphone jack is the crowning achievement of Western civilization.  Apple should be damned for eternity for plotting its destruction.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

But which, 3.5mm or 1/4in ?

It's now approaching a year since I decided I really need a new phone and still in supreme inaction. :hmm:
