Contact your representative and tell them you want them to not endorse Schumer’s leadership nor Jeffries’ ambitions to run for Speaker of the House. The more messages they get from their constituents the more likely the establishment’s goal of doing nothing will be thwarted. It doesn’t take very long!
Hey! I was wondering when you’d show up.
Already did. Just having Dems take a majority of both chambers won’t mean shit if they let the old guard keep using the same stupid tactics that got us here in the first place. Now’s not the time for the average constituent to fall back into oblivious complacency.
Neither. Already played OoT on the 3DS and I’d rather get started on my used copy of GTA V on the PS4.
I’ll play GTA VI when used copies eventually climb down in price. /s
Be wary of tankies. What are tankies? It’s a pejorative term for authoritarian communists who will claim Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin have done nothing wrong. They also support modern day Russia even though they’re supposedly a liberal democracy because they’re likely Russian psy ops guys.
We’re still a pretty small community here and you’ll see a lot of familiar usernames but you’ll eventually fit right in to our tapestry of performative outrage and bickering. Depending on your home instance, you may not be able to see all the fediverse communities. I recommend hopping around until you find one that fits your style, like dbzer0.
His cringe is almost as bad as his evil intentions.
They’ll become useless plastic when the eShop servers inevitably shut down. They have less functional longevity than an NES cartridge.
This is a golden opportunity for human powered rickshaws to take over. The horses get to retire and the drivers get lots of exercise. Win-win.
You can wield it so long as you’re near a body of water to cool its extremely large heat sink. It basically handles like a large water hose based on how the mobsters in the book used it.
Exactly zero people hired by the Trump administration can do their job right for better or worse.
Bacon jam. There’s something magical when onions, maple syrup, and coffee mix up with little bits of bacon. It goes really well on top of a slice of toast and Muenster cheese.
Convenience is a hell of a drug. As soon as you ask someone to uproot their social media presence to the fediverse their eyes begin to glaze over. They don’t understand it and want to be part of a giant and almost all-encompassing community which is not where we’re currently at right now.
It takes multiple instances of censorship, frustration, and offending the wrong bot to be forced out of their online shell and even then they might still go for the next corporate-owned social media because it’s “easier” than understanding what federation means.
They may be an entry point for water and dust yet my current 3.5mm jack equipped Xcover 6 Pro is IP68 rated at 1.5m of water for 35 minutes according to GSMArena. I’m not exactly looking to go snorkeling with my phone any time soon either so it’s not like it’ll be a concern for anyone in the vast majority of use cases. I’ve had water splash on it occasionally over the years and it never caused any harm either.
I can’t really talk about what the PCB footprint of a 3.5mm jack is but if it’s something that already comfortably existed on most previous phones along with micro SD and Sim card holders until very recently then I doubt it actually matters. Keep in mind phone manufacturers are incentivized to hold back on as many features as possible if it means they can cut down on BOM costs and make an additional sale through apps or accessories down the line.
I see it as a question of convenience, economics, and waste. It’s so easy to plug and play a jack without worrying about your headphones’ charge level or pairing them. No aux ports also means you have to pay a USB C adapter tax for one that may eventually break or get lost and it forcing you to pick between quietly listening to your audio and charging your phone. I’ve personally saved about $60 USD a year on average by not having to swap out dead Bluetooth headphones as well.
I get it if you like the convenience but it really wouldn’t kill these phone manufacturers to keep such a useful legacy component in the hopes you’d buy some additional accessories from them to fix a problem they created.
How hard is it for them to include a DAC and aux port in their phones? They’re tiny! I tried using Bluetooth headphones with the OnePlus 5 but the poor sound quality and constant need to recharge and replace due to their batteries dying every few months was exhausting. That experience was enough to drive me back to the exceptional reliability of plug and play traditional headphones with a Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro.
I don’t care how easy it is to replace the batteries in Fairphone’s new headphones. Their ethos should compel them to include a jack for those who don’t want to waste rare earth metals.
All the surveillance of a house arrest without ever having committed a crime in the first place. Fantastic.
Just wait until some cars get hacked to accelerate as fast as possible because we just had to have telemetry in them for surveillance and profit.
Some bored kid in robotics class is gonna hack a drone and spray a bunch unsuspecting classmates one day.
Eminent Domain for the poor and canceled construction for the rich. Same as it ever was.
Can’t wait to read the same headline for the Robo Taxi and androids.
