Only if the monkey can tap dance

Ah, it’s the phones, I thought it was 12 year olds and was a commentary on the GOP or something

Nobody ever comes to the comments for The 51st State, despite it’s brilliance

Also, in DS9, he asked (kinda) Klingons to join him in battle. They got there in time to help the harvest, and when challenged he said that time was their enemy.

Headset, as in headphones with a microphone. I use it for MS Teams meetings and a bit of music and it works fine.

The point OP was trying to make is that you can use USB-c for other things besides listening to music.

Since you seem to be an audiophile with a list of fancy headphones (don’t ask me, my Cardo combined with earplugs is fine for the level of listening I want to do) then wouldn’t an offboard DAC / amp that you could keep far longer than a phone, and isn’t restricted by size constraints going to be better than a built-in version?

Also, if you’re worried about e-waste maybe you shouldn’t buy so many headphones. My partner’s Sennheisers have lasted 20 years so far.

Gotta take the cover off to prod at the bits underneath sometimes

I very much like this idea, would be nice to be able to use a phone in more of a mini-computer manner, whereas at the moment they’re somewhat hamstrung.

I’m always surprised phone docks aren’t a thing, my work laptop has a USB-c dock that is bristling with ports that are useful.

a) I have a USB-c headset at work

b) the 3.5mm headphone jack can’t be used to transfer data (at a good rate)

Dirtbike handlebars, I don’t want my usual phone in a risky position. It runs off a USB socket from the bike’s electrics and I hotspot data from my regular phone.

I also have a Garmin Montana, but that’s quite big and bulky and overkill just to see where I am when I get lost.

I still use my HTC Android 1.2 phone for Google maps sometimes, some people will be out there still using them … I’m guessing it’s an old enough version that the still active devices are serviceable and well built.

I guess I’m the target audience, since I like musical episodes (Xena and Buffy especially) … hell, even a bit of DS9 holosuite crooning is enjoyable.

Not that I know of? I have Connect and Liftoff for Lemmy running fine, Tomb Raider Go and Pocket Rally work nicely, Firefox is supported, etc etc. I have a HTC with Android 1.2 on it that I use for Google Maps, which works better than the Android 7 phone, so I’m not entirely convinced that new is always better, lol

This got me wondering what I’m using … apparently it’s a Moto G5s with Android 7?

I like it because it didn’t come loaded with extra software, it was cheap (80€ in 2019) and it’s got a nice camera. In a few years I might think about replacing it, in which case I’d like something a bit smaller.

I’ve got a tablet too, which is a Lenovo that fell off the back of a lorry in Hungary and my MIL bought it for me for the equivalent of 30€. It works well too, I think it’s got Android 8 on it.
