Did you look at AudioQuest DragonFly DAC? I have been using it for a while and it works great. You can use your regular cable headphone with it.
Re:Best Smartphones That Still Have a Headphone Jack on Monday September 16, 2019 @10:56PM (#20990878)
Since I discovered a USB DAC/Pre-amp, I no longer miss headphone jack. My headphone sounds even better using usb dac/pre-amp from audioques. I recommend this setup if your phone don't have headphone jack and you still want to use your expensive headphone. Link here: https://www.audioquest.com/page/aq-dragonfly-series.html
Re:Webcams used to attack Reddit and Twitter recalled on Monday October 24, 2016 @10:35AM (#12779128)
Agreed. This is a good business decision to issue a recall. It probably won't cost too much since very few people will actually return it.
Orang Pendek = short people. Sounds like hobbits.
I am not a native speaker and 'descent' is not really on my active vocabulary but 'decent' is. So for me it took couple reads to understand what you meant. Looks my brain is looking for familiar pattern to match.

Not directly related, but this reminds me about the story of paper town in map making. Check this TED's talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/john_green_the_nerd_s_guide_to_lear...
Any plans to include other areas?

Re:Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what? on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @12:14PM (#8631222)
The article is probably correct. I had access to the manufacturer on this one.

I haven't done much advertising this year. Most of my traffic comes directly from the manufacturer's site.

I don't blog directly but I am actively looking and linking to other blogs/article about our e-bikes.

I ran shopebike.com, a dropship of electric bikes and soon electric scooters. I provide customer supports via email and sometimes over the phone.

It has generated around $8000 a year so far, mostly in the warmer months. I tried google ads words in the past, but the cost was too much so I dropped it in the beginning of the year. Maybe I wasn't doing it correctly, but it was almost no conversions.

Re:What was your best passive income in 2014? on Wednesday July 30, 2014 @10:01AM (#8108134)
Earlier this year, I helped out a friend setting up online shop selling electric bike (dropship model). It has been good this summer, average of $1000/month net profit. Traffic is still very low but constant buyers. - shopebike.com.
I think you are ok if you are still on OPT status. As you long as you can show that are applying skills you learned from school.

But try checking with your international office at school.
