It does. He was talking about iPhone headphone jack port placement journey.

Oh, I see. I thought that was news I missed or something.

Did anybody ask for an opinion on that? At worse the parent misattributed a pronoun which can be fixed with a clarification from the grandparent ("actually it's a she" etc). At best he's correct, as it's more likely statistically given the demographics here.

> Did anybody ask for an opinion on that?

Don't be an asshole.

Parent misattributed the pronoun, sure. And then they were asked to not do that.

>Don't be an asshole.

Oh, the irony!

>Parent misattributed the pronoun, sure. And then they were asked to not do that

Not sure at all that they misattributed anything.

And they weren't asked. They were lectured "on principle". And not even by the supposedly offended person, but from a third party that had nothing topical to contribute to their discussion.

Imagine for a second that you were constantly being assumed to be an incorrect gender. And let's further assume that it bothered you. Would you want to spend all your time telling people to not assume your gender (and consider the high possibility that they're going to get a reaction like this)?

No, you're not. And so every dude on this thing is going to use "he" everywhere cause "no-one's complaining". And then when people who prefer different gender pronouns come in, they're going to see people being assholes about gender pronouns, and they're going to say "fuck this" and leave (note, they're not going to reply either, cause they also are sick of it).

And so to prevent that, people other than the "supposedly offended person" need to step in, even if they weren't asked.

I'm not going to reply to further discussion here. I hope this was useful to you.

If it bothers you, you can choose not to be bothered by it.

Yes it does. Op was talking about the phone.

It does.

Wow what? I don’t get it. You really want wires? Why? Just because? Nostalgia?

What’s the deal? It’s not sound quality, that’s for sure.

No, as a customer, I want CHOICE. People act as if having a headphone jack vs using bluetooth headphones are completely mutually exclusive things. I sometimes find downright aggression towards people who still want to keep a headphone jack. A laptop is a general computing device - maybe I'll want to plug in my fully working wired headphones, maybe I'll want to use bluetooth ones. Who knows. But I hate it when companies take this choice away from me, because "progress" or some other nonsense. And then you go online and people say that you must be weird for wanting to keep the jack around - why? What's bothering you so much about having an extra port that you can but don't have to use?

From a strictly cost/business perspective it's brilliant. Remove hardware you have to pay for embedded in your device and sell people an adapter at an increased price.

Ok, misguided idealism. Sure, same old, same old.

Because none of the professional grade studio monitors, DJ headphones, or in-ear monitors that I own are wireless?

You’re not using that on a Mac air.

Because I forgot to charge my wireless and I have a meeting in 2 minutes.

Music production. Bluetooth has unfixable crap latency.

You’re not doing that from a Mac air.

Why not? You can do it on an iPad too. I used to produce music on my Pentium 3 PC with ReBirth.
