In which case we’ll juge in the final product if the choices the leadership, previous or current, were the right one or not.
All we have currently are some images, some first hand infos, and a lot of speculations.

LW is hosted in Germany, and as it proxies youtube thumbnails, youtube serve him the german version 😅. It is a known issue.

Honestly I liked a lot Subnautica 1, and despite the leadership change, still look forward to Subnautica 2. Better juge on tge product than on internet dramas.

You may also like Coffee Talk (1 and 2). Good story, the characters are likable, and it works with controllers, so you can play it on the go with a Deck or anything similar.

For those who wonder, yes, this is ok according to the piracy community rule.
Talking about piracy is OK, or even encouraged. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.

Could also have been the other way around.
Fairphone removes the headphone jack > realize they would need an alternative > realize most TW headphones are e-waste to be > make their own with
blackjack and hookerswith a removable battery, making it a solution to TW headphones with non-removable batteries.Don’t call fool without any proof, or you’ll have a very sad life supposing the worst from anyone you’ll meet. Coincidence is no proof of causation.

I’m voluntarily exagerating my point here for irony sake.
My needs do isn’t more important than anyone else, but I wanted to point out the selfishness of the oposite point of view by making mine as selfish. Those in favor of keeping a jack port voluntarily choose to ignore any alternative, while trying to force their need on other people.
But it is true I do not want that port back. It is redundant, has no advantages over a dongle, and it inconveniences could easily be overcome by simply adding a second usb-c port. No need for internal DAC, you’d be able to do far more than you’ll ever be able to do with a 3.5mm jack, and you’ll be able to charge it while listening to your music with a wired headphone. All that with a smaller and more flexible port.
And it would take you 5min searching the web to get good review about usbc DAC with actually good sound, even better than any internal DAC.
But to save you a click, you have the Apple one, which has good review while being able to drive almost all headphones but the most energy intensive of them.
As for the precise number, you can find them on market studies. Unfortunately they are quite pricy, and as I’m not in that field, I do not have access to them. But Fairphone does, and if they don’t bother adding that port back, they are most probably basing their decision on them.

Problem is BT headphones last 2 years then they go in the garbage because the batteries are dead. How eco-friendly is that!?
My 7 years old bluetooth headphone would disagree.
It is. We had it on phones since before the original iPhone. No one wants to take that away.
And no one except a vocal minority want to keep it. There are a lot on data on that, and manufacturer make their decision on that data.
But lets ignore that, and let’s take my viewpoint as a customer. I don’t want a port I have no use for. I don’t want a DAC I have no use for. I don’t want the extra weight that comes with them.
My needs conflict with yours, so what’s the only way to make both of us somewhat happy? That’s by making the 3.5mm jack an addon, which is what any manufacturer that does not focus on music listening would do.

That’s indeed possible, but hard to prove unless you give an archived proof (wayback machine, etc.). AI made creating fake screenshot trivial, so I can’t blame anyone for thinking you may have faked it.

I checked his modlog, and found no such thing, at least on LW. Care to give a link as proof ?

Phishing attacks? On a headphone? 🤣
Wired headphones can be intercepted, as the wires unfortunately also act as an antenna (I’m a computer security technician, we semi-routinely do such interception).
As for sound quality, it will always be limited by the DAC quality, and there is little way to add a good quality DAC without adding significant weight to the phone. Did you ever wonder why audiophiles audio players looks like bricks? That why.
But I agree with point 2, 3 and 5, they are valid, but I don’t agree with some aspects:
- You can make some TW headphones bips to find them, which you cannot with wired ones for obvious reasons.
- The cable is unfortunately often their weakpoints, and I had to throw away multiple of my headphones (which were fairly good quality ones) because of that. That’s actually the main reason I went wireless. I was tired of the cable breaking, and it getting in my way.
Now all my audio equipments are wireless, and I change their batteries every 5 years or so. Unfortunately I bought mines before Fairphone launched theirs, so it wasn’t an option, but once any of my headphones eat the dust for good, I’ll probably buy an easily repairable one if audio quality and codecs are acceptable (I’m an Audiophile, so that’s important to me).

The Fairbuds does have a replaceable battery if that’s what you are searching for. Sure, the sound won’t be as good as a Sony, Bose, or the like, but it would be good enough if your focus is durability instead of perfect sound quality.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #21 1 week ago:
Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.
But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.
And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #21 2 weeks ago:
Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).
For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.

Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).
Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂). - Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Breaks Sales Records in Just 4 Days 3 weeks ago:

Not that I ever did the same with a GPU with the same price tag… (Who am kidding? 😂)

As a Switch 1 owner, I’m definitively gonna wait to finish my current Switch backlog, anf also probably for the Oled refresh. But since I got my Deck, I barely touched my Switch, so it will probably take a long time 😆.
