    You can’t charge your phone and use your USB headphones at the same time, without a dongle.

    If this isn’t a use case for you, you should understand that it is a use case for others, and it’s a problem that was solved before manufacturers forced it on it. Give me two USB ports and maybe I’ll be satisfied, though I’m sure others still have a use case for 3.5mm and will still need a dongle…

    Things are in no way “super standardized”. My headphones aren’t USB. My aux jack isn’t USB. None of my audio shit plugs into USB.

  I just recently went back to a dedicated mp3/flac player. I wanted to go back to actually thinking about the music I hear and discover music myself without an algorithm telling me what to do. Even my rather cheap Shure se215, which are meant to be IEMs for musicians rather than for listening to music, sound leagues better than the Sony wf-1000xm5 I have. And they’re even better at isolating noise, without ANC. Plus no Bluetooth bullshit. Fuck that noise.

  I’m sick of the way tech is going. It’s also the reason I’ve started building a home server.

    I use my phone as one. All my music files are stored locally on the SD card. One of many reasons I hate the direction phone design has gone in. My phone is from 2017 and I can’t find one today that will allow even the day to day shit I use it for, let alone everything.
