And a time where 3rd party companies had no access to any of them
Well, the headphones are still a separate thing. They are even more separate now, than they ever were (each one earphone is separate now)
I bet there are people drooling at the idea of making those headphones part of people’s heads
And it was beautiful
That’s today if you’re looking for quality for any of them.
I don’t remember having to deal with USB-C earbuds before the iPhone.
And that’s was a good thing too.
Don’t you remember the joy of carrying around a dozen proprietary cables. Oh dads cable drawer was great.
It was better and the price of the slight convenience now is that the next generation, and your aunt and uncle, are openly cheering on nazis and pedophiles with no idea what’s actually happening in the world.
Shut up and carry the cassette tape thin digital camera already.
The time is now. Fuck relying on a tech giant for all my cloud storage and “convenience”
Do it! Selfhosting is a great hobby
I feel like this is a shitpost because they’re all weird or anachronistic in some way
guys the headphones aren’t supposed to be “headphones built into a phone”. they are more representative of speakers. cassette players, cd players, and MP3 players didn’t have built in speakers, you had to have headphones to listen to music. in no way am i advocating that anyone should listen to music or their shitty social media short videos, or have a phone call on speaker in public. im just saying you don’t need headphones anymore because phones have a built in speaker
(big boomboxes had big speakers yes but those were very cumbersome to carry around, i’m talking more Walkman’s)
but also i still have all those separate. i have a cell phone, a separate MP3/FLACC player, bluetooth headphones (which connect to both my phone and mp3 player), a smartwatch, an actual wallet, and a mirrorless camera.
That’s me, today. Different brands and models, but pretty much the same items. If I have the space (inner coat pockets, for example), I also add a small notepad and pencil, and a calculator. I ain’t gonna pay for a HP-12C calculator app, when I have the fully functional hardware.
We were all very excited to do so.
Good times
I don’t miss all the different cables but fuck, do I miss being able to listen to a song without having to silence a spam call in the middle of it
