Is that a headphone jack!?

I like headphone jacks.

This needs an interrobang‽

You can tell whether I’m posting from my phone or my desktop by whether I use a ‽ or a ?!.

(This one was from my desktop despite the interrobang, but that’s because I could easily copy-paste yours.)

Not that easily. I could read theirs, but yours was a box

I’m here with a usb c to 1/8" jack like a moron! The EU pushed replaceable batteries, maybe we need a headphone jack bill haha.

Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks

Probably because most FM stations have apps.

Back in the dumb phone era I had some Ericson TDMA bar phone that had (very basic) web browsing and a combination FM radio/Headset adapter. I specifically remember reading live 9/11 updates on it during class.

I LOVE the idea. I’m slowly mutating into a wired earbud audiophile (not sure what they call themselves), and the sound is just so much cleaner; plus there’s nothing to charge.

4 hours of music on these ones!

Mine just plug in.

my headphones have 24 hour battery life, so honestly im fine with my next phone not having a headphone jack, i do wish most still had one though

i bought a “new” phone just because i was sick of using the shitty ass headphone jack adapters

so now i have 1 phone for music and the other for games 😂

Bring back transparent shells, I want to see that sexy technology god damn it!

Check out the company Nothing. They make products like the Nothing Phone with transparent designs

Fairphone 5 also has a translucent back option.

I’m curious about the 30 day battery

Could just be the regular battery not having to supply power to an energy sucking spinning disk.

Probably the same original form factor but a new lithium ion

I think the SSD uses more power than the original hard drives do. I bought an adapter for the iPod classic to put an SD card in it and there was a few articles about power draw being higher for ssds. I might be misremembering the comparison though, it’s been a couple years.

Wow, that’s really surprising, you’d think a spinning platter would draw more power than solid state transistors

That may be due to other factors. I will be up front that I don’t have a lot of specifics, but I do know this: in retro computing, SD is hard to implement as a replacement for old-school disks because it means a lot of overhead. For that reason, Compact Flash is still the preferred format for a lot of products aimed at that space.

Perhaps that is at play here, because increased overhead should also equal a reduction in battery life (modulo the spinning disk).

I used a modern 3000mA lithium ion battery which provides about 60 hours of music playback. That’s about 2 hours per day which is much more than I use!

60 hours is two and a half days.

Well yes, but most people aren’t listening to music 24/7

How much is that in watt-hours?

They sell 3000mah replacement batteries vs the original 850mah. I think some solid state drives can save power, but others can use more.

That’s as long as some fiancés.

Now do my boy, Zune ❤️

Man, the Zune was the best MP3 player experience in its day… They even had the OG music subscription service. For $15 bucks a month and then they let you keep $15 of music forever. So it was a no brainier if you’d buy an album a month anyway.

Yo…I still have two HDs that work… they’re amazing

Are you preparing for a zombie apocalypse?

Anyway, this is the coolest shit I have ever seen today, and maybe the best one here on Lemmy!

If I was I’d be playing the theme song from 28 Days Later in the picture ☺️. Thank you!

Edit: Ah yes, F♯ A♯ ∞, a classic!

“post rock”? And it’s bagpipes? Hmm interesting

Edit: okay it got better after a couple minutes, nice
