It kind of is, though. The cost of the system on its own is not the cost of the platform. Buyung the same games on a switch+paying for online mp is substantially more expensive than having a steam deck and using steam.

It also has fewer (and more expensive) games and is quite a bit more restrictive.

Am I the only here that smells bullshit/ragebait? When your phone has the bootloader unlocked and you're rooted, you simply cannot receive official software updates. That only works in custom roms.

EDIT: It seems that for several people this is not the case. Guess I'm wrong then, but personally I've never received software update requests after rooting. Right now in my xperia 5v I literally can't even check to see if there is one. The only way to know is to look up my model in xperifirm.

The point is that everyone wants to fuck everyone, but they are the victim because everyone else wants to fuck them. It’s greed from all angles, plain and simple.

Not really, no. If you're buying a house for yourself and after that you want to buy a bigger or smaller house, it'd be very dumb to sell waaaay under market when no one else will do that for you in return. You'd be either unable to find a home you can afford or you'd have to spend all of the money from a big house to buy a small apartment.

I think you have a lot of resentment built up and that's bad for both objectivity and your own health.

It’s not my fault that granny was banking on screwing over the millenials to trade up to a beachfront property in the keys

You're getting worked up over a fictional person that owns a fictional house and wants to sell it for a fictional price. On top of that, you're making up a lot of details to get even more upset. Relax dude.

Inflation is a thing that exists. Saying that someone is bad simply because they want to update the value of their property is dumb. Also, let's say granny wants to downisze. Should she sell her home for a value way below market and then be unable to buy a smaller home for herself?

Well, you do need to be specific because like 99% of headphones terminate in a 3.5mm jack or a quarter inch jack. You were referring to a vert very limited subset of headphones.

It's honestly kinda dumb to buy a headphone, which only needs an analogue voltage signal to work, that terminates in usb-c. Specially considering that there are still loads of devices that don't have that port. Even if a computer has it, it's likely that it only has 1 or 2 of them which might already be in use. For example, my work laptop has 2 usb-c and I'm using one of them to charge it and the other to connect a monitor.

You know you’ve got not argument when you have to compare a $700 dollar phone to a $5 dongle for your argument to even make sense.

Oh, so I should buy $100 dongles then? lol Everyone's argument about the dongles is that they're super cheap, that's why I made the comparison.

In those phones the DAC is used primarily for phone calls.

Oh really? And how exactly do you think that the phone is generating the audio that comes through its speaker when you're doing anything else? Like listening to music, videos, etc? Does your phone really not make a single sound apart from the audio in phone calls?

I wasn’t talking about some cheap $5 dongle, I specifically said quality headphones

headphone =/= dongle

The dongle is what you connect TO the headphone. Regardless, be more specific then. What's the one you recommend? Should I buy $50 dongles then and keep them attached to my headphones? Since I use 4/5 of them does that mean that it's ok in your opinion that I now need to spend $250 in dongles instead of just having a tiny, cheap, reliable jack on my $700 phone?

I use them and that's more than reason enough to want a reliable, small, cheap, jack that literally has no downsides and lets me use my devices how I want to use them.

Damn right. LG G5 for example was a pretty interesting concept that could've evolved into something cool.

You are completely and utterly wrong. I'm pretty sure that a $700 phone's dac is better than what you can find on a $5 dongle from god knows where. Also, by design there should be no "noise" or "interference" causing issues with the internal dac. If there is, you bought an extremely shitty device.

It absolutely does not. That's just the stupid propaganda companies distribute to make people buy wireless earbuds.

Not really, no. There are even people that have been able to ADD a headphone jack to iphones that don't have one.
