What are some ancient obsolete tech that really needs to die but for some reason people are still using them? For me it’s the 3.5mm headphone jack. Why can’t we move on to better ways of listening to audio instead of using analog old technology?

Name one audio listening device that doesn't use analog technology to produce sound

for me it's keyboards. why do we even need them when our 2-in-1 has an onscreen version that's more reliable and doesn't take up space?

What is it with retards and hating audio jacks? Sure, they probably aren't the end-all-be-all best way to listen to audio, but they are WAY better than shitty Bluetooth headphones that you have to charge in order to use them. That reason and that reason along is why they are probably going to stay around for a while.
Liam Lopez
For me it's bait threads. Why can't we move on to better ways of posting instead of reusing the same tired old bait?
Aiden Russell
Desktops. They are heavy and ugly, they should no longer be supported. Only all in ones should be acceptable in terms of desktop computers. Also mice. Only touchscreen support please, thanks!
Grayson Gomez
We should get rid of flashlights. We have good low light cameras already and also real superior indoor lighting. Anyone holding a dick in their hand needs to be put in a gay death camp, this month if possible.
Dominic Miller
Complete personal computers at home.
I can't wait for desktop streaming to take off so we can get rid of all the retard AMD vs Intel/Nvidia daily threads
John Collins
3.5mm jack is one of the best designed pieces of technology around.
Literally the only issue you could possibly have is the cable itself which is a good price to pay for not having to charge your goddamn headphones.
If it gets tangled, get a flat cable. It's miles better than a round one.
Sebastian Myers
Wires. Fuck wires, they get all messy. We should transmit everything wirelessly. Even power. I don't care if it has adverse health effects, wires should have been gone years ago.
Isaac Ramirez
>seething this hard
Gavin Wilson
since audio has to be converted to an analog signal before being able to listen to it, it is comfy to have a DAC inside the smartphone. If you were to remove it from the phone, it has to be included in the hearphones or whatever other audio equipment, which means they will rise in price. It is better to pay more for an integrated DAC than to pay more for headphones imho
Justin Myers
Niggers. We used them for slavery at one time. Now a computer can work harder, faster, less lazy and much more smart, they can even do more than pick cotton. The niggers are outdated,commit too much crime and look like shit, retrofitting them with jobs now is even more insane and outdated than using an arduino as your personal computer.

If you ask me it's this. Yes they are dying, but the fact that they even existed is what bothers me. Why not a straight cable? These shit cord tangle themselves on evrything even themselves. To make a call you have to stretch that shit straight first.
Julian Bennett
Piss off ishill
Christian Bennett
i genuinely do not understand the attachment to the 3.5mm jack. just get headphones that use your phones power/data input. why waste all that internal space for a single use port
Tyler Carter
Because a separate dac is better. Better isolation from power and separation of concerns, if it breaks just get a new one. And they're cheap and (at least Apple's) good. You can use it on other devices
Jeremiah White
SATANIA!!!! This thread sticks of Apple! Do your job!

>Apple's 3.5mm
Yes, it was obsolete from the get go.
>Why can’t we move on to better ways of listening to audio instead of using analog old technology?
Because the drivers inside headphones are analog, so there's no reason to go away from the very thing that produces the audio waves.
For me it's front camera.
They were obsolete before even being thought up.

This is astroturf from the recording industry and government types alike, both of whom wish to plug the analog hole.
Don't fall for it. Never buy a phone, tablet, or computer without a 3.5mm audio jack.
Eli Harris
Almost every DAC is trash though. Especially for listening to 16-bit 44.1KHz audio. These days every DAC is a shitty bitstream model which sucks equally for all uses.

Oh... wait you mean you spent $1000 on a phone without a jack or IR transmitter?
OOOOOOOF
Noah Scott
Because Bluetooth sucks and dongles blow.
William Moore
Straight cords tangle even more when used with a telephone handset. Wound cords prevent the cord from going everywhere or being too short. They do get tangled but that's from you rotating the phone between picking it up and setting it down, thus twisting the cord over time. Ironically, the solution to this problem is right in your image - those little pivot dongle things let the cord untwist itself.
Easton Sanchez
Kys based shill.
Levi Cook

Yeah, this sounds amazing, not at all retarded.
Ethan Sanders
add a second port if you remove the 3.5mm port
otherwise it's just a feature deficit
Lucas Stewart
>Oh... wait you mean you spent $1000 on a phone without a jack or IR transmitter?
I spent 350 on one with both, plus a removable battery.

Aaron Jones
god I miss my HTC 10
It couldnt have been more feature packed for a reasonable price
Lincoln Sanchez
The apple usb-c dac literally measures far better than the integrated shit found in snapdragon socs. The only phone dac still worth getting is LG's quad dac, otherwise you might as well get the apple usb-c adapter. Which also measured better than early high-end schiit
Aaron Campbell
It's not perfect, but all the replacements are square wheels with flat tires.
Nicholas Davis
b..but if i want to charge my phone while listening to music?
Camden Miller
Then you get a dongle hub to plug your dongle and charger in at the same time.
Aiden Powell
well.. sorry, nothing personal but i think i will keep using my dedicated flac player.
Adam Reed
Can your dedicated flac player use a dongle hub to charge, listen AND connect an SD reader for expanded storage AT THE SAME TIME? Didn't think so.
Easton Miller

You've got the famous ipod dac in a dongle. Works with PCs. $10. Just needs and amp for high impedance cans

Liam Russell
>MUH 192KHZ AUDIOPHOOLERY
If it doesn't float your boat, thanks apple popularizing audio dongles you can find other usb-C dacs that do support it. They've "democratized" cheap, good audio that was previously gatekept by scumbags like schiit
Christian Bell
the keyboard.
i'd imagine that a few decades further we'd have something far more comfortable/organic to our hands.
Jordan Cruz
I still think LG's solution was more elegant.
Nathan Adams
I find the opposite true. I'm not a fan of clumsy form factor, device specific solutions for anything, like motomods or LG's various attempts at mods. The dongle is ubiquitous because most of them work across most devices that simply have a usb-c port and all it is is a slightly chunky extension to your cable
Charles Cook
the v series was an even better solution
Justin Moore
In my experience a USB-C plug comes undone much easier than a 3.5mm jack, and the LG unit does a better job of taking the strain off the USB plug if you use it as a stand-alone unit with another phone.
Brayden Lee
But the HTC 10 didn't have IR though.

Using the 3.5mm jack on my S9+ with Sennheiser HD800s atm and it sounds great, much better than any zoomer bluetooth shit.

Lol I was going to say that. Giving antique farm equipment rights instead of disposing of them properly was the mistake of the century.
Austin Morgan

Isaac Gonzalez
Coiled cables are fucking amazing because you can have really long cables that take up less space. I've got a pair of headphones with a 6 foot cable and it gets stuck on fucking everything.
Landon Hernandez
99% of the people listen to mp3's or other lossy formats. I don't give a shit how good your external DAC is, if you feed it garbage, you're going to get garbage.

Wheels. This old tech has been rolling around since the stone age, much longer than the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Wheels are a stagnant tech that isn't going anywhere and I'm thoroughly tired of them. Why can't we replace them with something else already?
Oliver Gutierrez
The fact nobody has pointed out that this post just says "keyboards" and not "phone keyboards" and implies the user exclusively uses a phone or a tablet irks me.
You are all phoneposting niggers.
Ryder Cooper

It's stood the test of time and is comfy, low cost, high compatibility, works and is fine
The only reason companies like apple are forcing consumers to drop it is because of the glint of monies in the horizon

if phones had no DAC, we would hear nothing out of them, Jow Forumsenius. how do you think digital mobile phones have worked since they were invented? magic?
>if you feed it garbage, you're going to get garbage
exactly right. no DAC in the world can make a shitty encoded mp3 less shitty.
Noah Jones
When you copy your mp3s over, the transfer software handles telling the phone how to etch the decoded sound into a tiny vinyl disc.
Camden Wood
What are you talking about moron? 2 in 1 is a laptop an tablet

Music isn't a sine wave, the very best DACs went out of production decades ago, the Philips TDA-1540 and 1541.

Bluetooth needs a couple extensions before it can replace 3.5 mm jacks:
Zero-Latency Bluetooth for Gaming
Bluetooth that Actually Syncs to Video on Windows
