  • There are times when the original standard has zero forwards compatibility in it, such that any improvement made to it necessarily creates a new standard.

    And then there’s also times when old greybeards simply disregard the improved standard because they are too used to the classic way.







  • Maybe…

    It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)

    That’s why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.




  • Thanks for proving my point.

    You are literally suggesting how you have fixed (or rather, worked around) the issue… by suggesting another much more expensive solution. Pretty much just like the other comments I mentioned before, except that they were suggesting wireless headphones, or buying dongles, or any of that jazz.

    I just want to charge my phone while I’m wearing my headphones, without having to buy any external dongles or gasp external DACs.

    Apple set a terrible precedent for other phone manufacturers by removing the headphone jacks, they showed how they can screw over customers and people will still sing praises for them, it’s baffling because it’s a blatant attempt by Apple to promote their own wireless headphones!

    Although it’s been better now in the Android world, but there was once when those companies touted “lack of 3.5mm” as a feature.
