I am definitely not trying to defend the manufacturers here, only point out that there are solutions for those like myself who want to continue using their wired headphones with newer phones.
Understood.
I agree with you with the SD card too. That one probably annoys me more. It made everything so much more difficult. Transferring files, backups, swapping out music, seeing pictures from a camera or drone... Made the device less like a computer in everyway.
Yes that is true but speaking on clinging on to an older phone, a headphone jack had a superior physical hold. My phone got saved a few times because my phone was connected to my wired headphones.
These dongles that came with phones were also usually very thin. It also sticks out and made of plastic. It just adds another weak point. They somehow added a weak point to a great piece of technology... On top of that phones no longer comes with the dongles.
Also dongles aren't sexy. It looks like a hack to make something work. Phone companies made headphones unsexy while making wireless earbuds really sexy.
Some people said that a headphone jack made dustproofing and waterproofing more difficult. Maybe but it had be done before. They also said it brings down the price of the phone to get rid of them. Weird considering the Google A series and Samsung mid range phones had it but their flagship phones didn't.
You made a lot of great points. Thank you for those.
I actually have bluetooth earbuds either came bundled, or I was gifted them. They have come a long way. Easier to connect. Better latency and better sound quality compared to the older version of bluetooth.
I like them, I am not a complete hater but I really am annoyed that this stuff will just turn to ewaste while my headphones have lasted me decades.
I'm just an old head yelling at the clouds.
This is the main reason they got rid of the headphone jack. Some headphones lasted forever.
Now you have Bluetooth earbuds with tiny batteries that goes in a case with another small battery. Batteries that small will last 5 years tops. On top of that sound quality hasn't improved and latency got worse.

I see.
To combat this my bank doesn't allow me to withdraw above what is in my bank account, no matter how big the check is. Like I can see the check money in there but it usually has a note that only a certain amount is usable until the check clears.
Most professional programmers, graphic artist, and designers I met use MacOS.
If you need an account with Chase, doesn't that mean they were just withdrawing their own money? On top of that they are now going to jail for fraud.
I feel like I lost and won at the same time.
If it was a simple flag, you would be correct a computer will react faster than any human but when you factor in everything else like constantly analysis of surroundings, decision making, and accounting for physical limitations, then yes. It's the reason why Waymo cars move so slowly.
If a person was standing at a sidewalk, hidden behind an object, far away from a pedestrian way or traffic signal and jumps 2 feet in front of a car going 25 mph, the average driver with their full faculties would do better than Waymo.
The reports of the safety of AVs is overstated when you consider that they are limited within a city limit, they rarely go on the highway, they follow speed limits in cities which is lower than highways, people are more aware of AVs, and during their trial runs they had an actual human in the car to correct them.
On average, AVs are safer especially when you consider some bad drivers do not get better, people drink, people get sleepy, people distract themselves. and young drivers lack experience. But the average driver with it with their full faculties would do better in tests based solely on reactions.
if you look at the accident reports and took out drivers who were on a substance, are younger than 25 or older than 70, was distracted with something like their phones or others in the car, were not following laws, and those who were emotional then the stats would be pretty close.
Overall I do believe AVs are better for world because peak performance of an average driver is rare.
Human vision also have the brain that does a lot of automation like figuring out distance and looking out for danger with real time reaction speed. Night vision is usually better for most people too. The brain also combines that with sound so it can detect things out of vision. Eyes already have a range of view but the human head can also move around accurately. On top of all this focus is what the human brain is best at. While cameras can see 360°, years of data built in the subconscious taught a human driver what to look out for.
This correct. Waymo cars have both radar and Lidar plus like 29 cameras.
Texan here. I have seen a lot of trucks.

Retail employees are being duped into divulging their credentials by typosquatting malvertisements.
Tracked as CVE-2024-45195 and discovered by Rapid7 security researchers, this remote code execution flaw is caused by a forced browsing weakness that exposes restricted paths to unauthenticated direct request attacks.
Yeah, the drunks with several DUIs.
The security advisory is for version 13.x until 13.6 on the popular virtualization software for macOS. The bug — CVE-2024-38811 — has a CVSSv3 base score of 8.8 and is caused by an insecure environment variable. Mykola Grymalyuk of RIPEDA Consulting reported the vulnerability and VMWare has issued a patched version of the software.
The vulnerability allows a user with standard privileges to execute code within the Fusion application.
The company issued a patch for the high-severity bug that allows arbitrary code execution.

Eight vulnerabilities in Microsoft macOS apps allow attackers to bypass permissions, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Cicada3301 ransomware targets SMBs, shares code with BlackCat, exploits vulnerabilities in Windows, Linux, and ESXi systems.
> Written in Rust and capable of targeting both Windows and Linux/ESXi hosts, Cicada3301 first emerged in June 2024, inviting potential affiliates to join their ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) platform via an advertisement on the RAMP underground forum.
>Though D-Link acknowledged the security problems and their severity, it noted that they fall under its standard end-of-life/end-of-support policies, meaning there will be no security updates to address them.
>The popular Docker-OSX project has been removed from Docker Hub after Apple filed a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request, alleging that it violated its copyright.
>Researchers Ian Carroll and Sam Curry discovered the vulnerability in FlyCASS, a third-party web-based service that some airlines use to manage the Known Crewmember (KCM) program and the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS). KCM is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) initiative that allows pilots and flight attendants to skip security screening, and CASS enables authorized pilots to use jumpseats in cockpits when traveling.

Russia's Midnight Blizzard infected Mongolian government websites to try to compromise the devices of visitors, using watering-hole tactics.
>In the watering-hole attacks, threat actors infected two websites, cabinet.gov[.]mn and mfa.gov[.]mn, which belong to Mongolia's Cabinet and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They then injected code to exploit known flaws in iOS and Chrome on Android, with the ultimate goal of hijacking website visitors' devices.
Definitions:
Watering hole is a computer attack strategy in which an attacker guesses or observes which websites an organization often uses and infects one or more of them with malware. Eventually, some member of the targeted group will become infected.
Whereas zero-days are a class of vulnerability that is unknown to a software developer or hardware manufacturer, an N-day is a flaw that is already publicly known but may or may not have a security patch available.
