  Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?

  This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.

  I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.

  And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

  What I wanr to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.

  How can it be that people don’t realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?

  As a German, I feel like, we should be capable of seeing 10th of thousands of people die, including reporters and literal children, and fathom that this… is bad.

  I don’t get why you get so much downvotes, because it’s not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it’s a good question actually.

  But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

  DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you’d need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to ‘unknown’ USB-C devices, unless they are unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

  And then there’s the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

  3.5mm is great because it actually “just works”. One of the few things that can claim such thing.
