Well batteries and headphone jacks seem pretty different. You can add a dongle for like $10. Having Apple replace your battery is prob 10x that.

I do 1/2 agree about the AirPods thing but, I’m not convinced the internal space isn’t one of the primary reasons

Again, my point 1. was the space the headphone jack takes up.

Apple is going as far as to remove the sim-card slot in iPhones lol

Ironically my fav lossless streaming service on Android is Apple Music. Amazon Music HD is also pretty good.

Not a fan of Tidal’s UI and recommendations, and I hate that I can’t see album covers when scrolling through a playlist. Haven’t tried Deezer cause Canada

Quake Champions, it’s the best and most underrated shooter game I know of

I think it’s mostly gaining market share cause Steam Deck

Haha definitely possible. Maybe compare side by side and see if you can learn to appreciate it a bit if you’re interested. It’s kinda nice to be able to tbh

1. As people have mentioned, it’s not about saving $, it’s about saving space inside the device which is highly valuable

2. Lots of dongles are quite high quality. Apples even sounds good, and Moondrop makes a higher-end audiophile one that’s better than basically any built-in jack. There’s a pretty big market for good USB C dongles (less so for Lightning).

3. if you care a lot about audio quality, you might know that the companies always tried to save $$ but using pretty mediocre DAC’s internally

USB C dongles have potential to be higher quality than your built in-jack if quality is the main concern

The difference is massive to me but my parents struggle to notice, so it certainly varies person to person

Quality meme

Accubattery SOT estimates are highly inaccurate, don’t let them raise your standards to much

I’ve just kinda made anyone I message regularly message me on Signal or Telegram. Fuck Meta 🤷

I found Google tends to get things like construction updates more quickly

This works, thanks!

I searched !overwatch@lemmy.world and no results still, am I doing something wrong?

By opened do you just mean browsed it at all by manually typing in the URL?

vlemmy.net one was my community that no longer is active due to Vlemmy shutting down :/ so count that out

I’m pretty techy and work at a tech retailer but, I’m a Classical Music major and teach piano

I like Spark a lot
