Yep, and now you know why all the tech companies suddenly became VERY politically active. This future isn't compatible with democracy. Once these companies no longer provide employment their benefit to society becomes a big fat question mark.

Funny take given the resurgence of standalone mp3 players and handheld gaming machines, all with 3.5mm jacks.

Those were all supposed to be dead too.

It's currently sold out, but they have been shipping them for a year. They are currently available in allie as well.

How would that be any easier?

I assume its bond rates, which actually inversely reflects economic confidence in the US. This is like a person celebrating that their credit cards interest rate went up because bigger numbers are better.

You can already get a better version of this that isn't tied to a specific model of phone and just attaches to the back with a magnet and is perfectly usable on its own if you want.

And yet we still have "centrists" who somehow can't tell the difference.

I mean, grifters are gonna grift, no surprise there.

Shame they are going to send you a "battery protection update" that makes your phone last 45 minutes between charges on year three.

I'd bet against any plan that requires Google to not fuck you over for a whole 7 years.

It never occurred to me that releasing these files might cause child traffickers and rapists to actually have CONSEQUENCES. The horror. Anyways...

How many of you can actually PROVE that your parents were here legally when they were born?

I don't mean "of course, my parents were Americans." I mean what do you have actually ON PAPER in your pocket or in your home that PROVES that? Do you have your parents birth certificates handy? Got their passports with you? This can be used to fuck over just about everyone in this country if they want it to, and guess what? They do.

Get me a linux smart phone with a headphone jack and I will buy it in a heartbeat, but I don't think very many other people will.
