USB-C audio gives Apple something to differentiate their product line with. And they can motivate their army of zealots out into the world to herald the superiority of the new stuff. Nothing matters more to some people than the opportunity to think different.
Not just your phone. You will also have to charge your headphones, meaning, yet another thing to remember to plug in when it's not in use; yet another wall wart charger to find a spot for on one the power strips plugged into the power strip that is plugged into the wall.
If they place cookies on my hardware, I am entitled to do whatever I wish to clean my hardware. If cookies are their only deterrent, it isn't 'stealing' for me to delete them.
It's available for about any operating system. I first started using it when I was running NetBSD on the desktop. The code is packaged for any freenix out there, and there's also a Windows binary.
I use SeaMonkey for the WYSIWYG cut-and-paste editor, to pull out formatted web content to save, but I use Sylpheed for my email client. It's just the best for email, IMHO. If you subscribe to mailing lists, Sylpheed indents the threads, etc. And it's compliant with a lot of the email standards.
1. Why would I be paying a carbon tax? Carbon taxes are paid by the entities that emit carbon dioxide
Those entities don't emit carbon dioxite 'just becuz' they want to. The emissions are a byproduct of things they produce for you. You'll pay the tax indirectly no matter how you feel about it.
Rabbits are rather practical animals. They aren't going to burrow deeper than they need. I looked in the field out behind our house, and rabbit holes aren't very deep at all.
I have about half a gigabyte of game installers I bought from GOG that I can put on external USB hard drive and stick on a shelf. I know that any time in the next 30 years that I want to play them, I can plug the drive in and install them.
That's a big difference from how Steam does things.
My point is that you can use the Google services on a cellphone without ever logging onto Google itself. So you are an anonymous entity that they might track individually, but your name isn't tied to said identity.
I just noticed this afternoon that you can comment on articles at China's People's Daily English Language website. Unfortunately I can't register directly on the site, but can use my Disqus, Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts to log on.
I imagine the comments on the Opinion pieces at People's Daily are curated somewhat....

Everybody will do a security audit, of course.

Any device that lasts much longer than the warranty is a "cost reduction opportunity" for the "continuation engineering" staff.
My car doesn't have an 'aux' Jack. It's not that old, either.

That boar was probably pretty high on the food chain, and a little like eating fish caught from Lake Erie or an urban river.
If they're forced to 'go dark' they won't be able to recruit many more newbies from the West.
They need particularly stupid people to be their newbies, who won't be able to figure out how to navigate the dark channels.

I hate to keep spamming the thread, but has nobody out there heard of Sylpheed? It's even open source and GPL licensed software. It runs on any desktop.
One of the nice things about a classic email program is that it makes it easy to ignore spam formatted in HTML.
Try out Sylpheed.

SeaMonkey is independent of Firefox.

The only reason I prefer Opera on Android over Firefox is that it lets you zoom a web page like Slashdot and it rewraps the text as it resizes it.
Firefox for some reason binds the layout and resizing just pushes text outside the margins.

It's a business opportunity, aside from anything else.
Rather, it's an opportunity for various forces to wield state powers of coercion and appear completely reasonable to their followers.
More like: 50,000 people use Tor to check Facebook 20 times each month. Though for Facebook addicts it wouldn't be 20 times in a month.
So it's more likely: 5000 people use Tor to check Facebook 200 times a month.
Big whoop there.

GP probably meant 'God' in a monotheistic sense, i.e. as a proper noun.
Easy mistake to make.
Whoops, my size scale was way off. I have a quarter of a terabyte of game installers from GOG.

It's easy to chip away at the marble with your rubber chisel when you're posting anonymously on the Internet.
Uh... music is a form of applied mathematics.
If you didn't know that, get a clue.
That doesn't work on my phone. Maybe you have a phone with a different launcher.
