minus-squareNighed@sffa.communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up28·1 year agoI hate that I now have to use wireless earbuds that I now have to worry about charging, or that go flat at the most inopertune times… Having something plugged into the usb-c port all day sounds like a recipe for a broken port.

minus-squareNighed@sffa.communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 year agoThe longer jack makes it less likely to break. It also spins freely so doesn’t suffer from rotation stress. If my aux port breaks, that’s annoying, if my usb port breaks it’s e-waste.
minus-squaresystemglitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoNot as big a deal, the headphone jack is simple built better.
minus-squareAtaraxia@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoActually on my palm it broke very quickly. It would often not switch audio over to the headphones and had to use an app to switch it manually.
