As was pointed out elsewhere in this thread, video can be (and usually is) delayed to match the buffer delay of the headphones being used -- assuming they report it (I used to have a cheap pair that did not, this was a problem). That's not really possible with anything interactive, though so, yes, it is an issue when you hear the gunshot a second after your head's been blown off.
A lien is shared ownership. You can't sell property with a lien on it and, if you can't sell it, you don't own it. Another way of looking at it is that you own the rights, but the lienholder owns the property until you've met your obligation to them. A simplification, of course, as the right to resell the property belongs to neither party when a lien is involved; until, of course, you default on your end of the deal, then the lienholder owns the property and the rights that go with it.
A lienholder is closer to owning your property free-and-clear than you are; you have to make many payments to own it fully, but you only have to miss one or two for them to own it.
Think about that next time you think you own something you're financing.
Okay, same deal then. It's still AT&T's phone until it's paid for. Customer should be able to take the phone back to AT&T and AT&T should deal with Apple.
Ah, yes, but the headphones themselves will still be vulnerable... then you'll connect pair them to your phone and... well? What security actually is there at that point? I'm not saying there isn't any, I'm asking.
What data might infected headphones, or an infected speaker, or an older iPad that can't run iOS 10, or whatever else have you, be able to exfiltrate from your non-vulnerable iPhone, Windows phone, Mac, or PC? Or, really, from anything else it connects to (including patched Android devices)?
I haven't really seen anyone considering that in this discussion thus far. I feel like most people assume (and probably correctly) that there is little or no risk from this, but who's verified it? I'm certainly not qualified to and I feel as though those who are have not.
I also wonder if my car's bluetooth implementation is vulnerable and, if so, will it receive a patch when I take it in for the airbag recall that is currently pending?
Just trying to figure out the point of your comment. You can use bluetooth headphones with a gaming PC or, through an adapter or other means, with a console, si you not gaming on your phone really doesn't indicate whether or not you use bluetooth headphones.
From where I'm sitting, it seemed you weren't so much fostering the discussion mentioned in my sig as you were attempting (and failing) to be cute.
If you think bluetooth headphones are an ideal solution to the lack of a headphone jack, you're also not a "watches videos" or "plays games where audio cues and timing matter" kind of guy.
Because they're editors, not reporters. They expect others to do the actual reporting and submission, so they can "edit" the status from "submitted" to "posted" or "rejected".
Very often if you get a lot of questions about something it's because it's stupidly built and what it really needs is either a refactoring of the code or redesign of the UI or both.
And knowing how to do that often requires knowing why the application does what it does in the first place; that's something you can often only glean from documentation as whoever came up with the spec or wrote the damned thing in the first place is no longer with the company.
It really depends what you mean by self-documenting. If you limit it to documenting what or how, it absolutely is. However, when you consider the more important why factor, you're right, that documentation also needs to exist; sometimes even more important is who and when, and you should be thankful if you find yourself still able to disagree with that.
Why would I bother? You'd just scream nonsense about me being a liar with no evidence to back it up. I think you protest (and project) too much, my dear friend.
Again, which lies? Point them out. Or, alternately, fuck right off. And I've got nothing against Creed, honestly. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I wouldn't protest one of their shows.

Heavies all have TCAS, which is transponder based and will make a loud sound if anything gets to near,
after which they
will happily fly into the side of a crossing airplane
if the pilot doesn't change course.
So, yes quite.

Yes, that clause was there at Apple's insistence, so they could control the experience. For the owner of the phone. Which, while financed, is AT&T.

Run iOS? And that's why I'm an Android user.
Exactly. If it can legally be taken from you or be made not to function, it is not yours.
I bet bws111 thinks he owns the home he is still paying the bank for, as well. Perhaps he should stop making those payments, just to check?

This isn't just about your phone, people...
How do you check the firmware version on your headphones?
You do get that this affects all bluetooth devices and not just phones, right?

Wait a minute... Maybe that is the innovation here! An Apple device built to work outside Apple's ecosystem! Now, wouldn't that be something?
A combination of opening up the walled garden just a bit and releasing computers based on current-gen hardware would get me to give them another look.

Sorry, done on your behalf, for your benefit, and tacitly approved as "as long as you're keeping us safe I don't care what you do to everyone else".
Fucking Americans, too stupid to understand the same thing is the same thing.
Approved by whom? I surely didn't approve it and I'd quite rather it stopped, personally.
Fucking Whereveryou'refromicans, too stupid to understand that not everyone from a given country agrees with the actions of their government.
Wait, no, that's just you.

Okay now, that one just hurt. The other two were funny, but that was a low blow. What gives? I thought we were having fun here.
Only when I hand someone $10 to pay a $9.95 bill. Thanks for deciding it was time to be entertaining once more.
None. And what does that have to do with anything? At least you're starting to entertain again...
With the above-room-temperature IQ? Yeah. I know. It'd sure be nice if you had one, too, though.
