  1. Linux is safer. The proof is the majority of websites on the planet. Android, on the other hand, is a pile of garbage built on top of Linux.

  2. Re:Not impressed on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I know I can hear the difference between my Mac mini's built-in headphone jack and a one-dollar-bought-on-eBay, made-in-China USB soundcard. Guess which one sounds better*?

    * I'm 45, so take my "sound better" judgment with a grain of salt. It sounds better to me.

    Hint: it's not the $600 computer built-in DAC.

    You push the assumptions of my argument aside to make them void. That's not how intelligent discussions work.

    If you want an iPhone, you have no choice but to buy what Apple makes.
    What if only Google made Android phones and also removed the headphone jack from their smartphones?

  6. Your Samsung phone is awesome. Unfortunately it has one major flaw: Android. if you don't believe me, go look at Slashdot's own recent topics since last week as proof that it sucks.

    Well, yes and no. That's like say a 5% resistor DAC is the same as a 1% resistor DAC.

    In IC DACs, there's differences in SNR, power noise, etc. Not all DACs are created equal and there's tons of variations in PCB design.

    Let's assume you're an Android user. Let's assume all future Android phones also remove the headphone jack per requirement of Google.

    Would you also be a crybaby?

    From the media company's point of view, it's different contracts with dozens of organisations in other countries all over the place. It's a copyright minefield they created themselves.

    Not funny, just... well, Google is into marketing. Maybe they could do something that, "HTCP vs HTTP".

    There's plenty of companies offering huge screens. In fact, "normal-sized screens" are the rare ones.

    If they buy HTC to make the Pixel, the acronym would be HTCP which sounds a bit like HTTP.

    Considering Disney will probably be 50 years late in implementing their streaming service to Canada, Hulu and others are still non-existant after all these years, I'm going to stick with Netflix. At least they understand there's a market in Canada.

    So what's the difference between classical classical music and modern classical music? Will your categorization stand the test of time? What about someone in the year 8000? Both kinds will be far in the past, to the point of being the same exact thing especially since they're made the same way and sound about the same.
