People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

This^

NENathaniel,

The Apple one isn’t very durable but the sound quality is just as good as built-in jacks were. Not as much selection for Lightning :/

NENathaniel,
  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
NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

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

Is Tidal/Deezer worth it?

Hello, everybody, I’ve been thinking to move on from my Spotify subscription to move to Tidal or Deezer. I want to try out HIFI audio, but still get a good and stable experience. Are there any suggestions for which one I should pick? Could you also tell about your experience with those apps, or are there any other you would...

NENathaniel,

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

not seeing any non negligible difference between 60 and 120 Hz, am I weird?

Just got a new phone (OnePlus Nord 3), turned refresh rate HUD in developer settings and I see some parts of the system and some apps display 120 Hz but I have problem noticing any difference, same with my wife’s Redmi Note 12, i have to look very carefully and maaaybe I notice some different, not sure

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

I searched !overwatch and no results still, am I doing something wrong?

NENathaniel,

This works, thanks!

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo

NENathaniel,

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

NENathaniel,

Reminder to just get a family membership and split with friends, a very good value tbh

NENathaniel,

Feels like one of the best value subscriptions to me?

I use YouTube more than most streaming services and it helps support creators

NENathaniel,

Yea no 3rd party launcher is as smooth as the default ones still, but it’s noticably better than it was when I tried a couple years back

Not being able to remove the Google search bar on the pixel launcher is a dealbreaker to me

Apple watch with iPad?

Is it possible to have an Apple watch with a phone number and pair that with an iPad Mini and not have an iPhone involved at all? My daughter is getting old enough to need a phone but she is ADHD as all get out and will most likely put it down and lose it. So I like the idea of a watch that is strapped to her and then an iPad...

NENathaniel,

Nah, Apple needs to pressure you into never giving up your iPhone

NENathaniel,

Insane that on iOS you can’t just change the icons to whatever you want

NENathaniel,

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