I feel like everyone keeps arguing with me about "Wired vs. Bluetooth", but that has not been my argument.

My argument is "what's the big deal about using a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?"

You still get wired headphones. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and use my Sennheisers on them. I do not understand the problem. The feature isn't missing, and the adapter is like $5 and has no downsides. For a couple extra bucks I got a Power+Aux adapter, and now I can plug it into my sound system at home and play it wired while it charges.

You mentioned two situations where you need additional adapters (to use headphones and aux output) but a 3.5mm jack would completely mitigate the need for them.

I love how anyone with half a fucking brain gets down voted.

Rather than point out where youre wrong thet just keep yelling about Bluetooth and downvotig once they realize they've run out of "gotchas"

Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn't have own, tbh, bring it on themselves

I love how anyone with ~~half a fucking brain~~ poor conversational skills and an inability to see things from someone else's perspective gets down voted.

Try talking to people online as though they were in the same room as you, IRL. If you're already doing that, I have to ask, how many offline friends do you have?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have been, I don't respect people who want things to stay the way they were because they refuse to try new things.

People with very polite and normal responses were gettug downvoters just because they offered solutions that can't be dismissed easily, so downvoting was done instead.

It allllways comes to the civility argument when people know their position is dog shit, too. Cute.

I don't have a position on cell phone interfaces and hadn't planed to give one. No skin in this game, really, though it's clearly a contentious issue!

I just can't help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly. Me finding you to be an asshole has nothing to do with how I feel about cell phone ports.

Are you 12?

Funny that you called me the one not paying attention to other people's desires when all I did was point out that the people claiming there was literally no other option were wrong. I'd consider burying your head in the sand and pretending adapters don't exist as being a garbage conversation partner.

Are you 12?

No, but you must be if you think what I said is in any way contentious. People in this thread are being gigantic whiners about pointless shit and I have nothing but contempt for them after seeing the dogshit arguments for their side and personal attacks at me rather than actual points being made.

👍 Good luck out there!

I think you might have half a brain. Me and the gentleman on the other side of the argument are having a conversation right now so please go away.

Sorry, that's not how public forums work.

Don't like me replying to someone else? You can fuck off, you know?
