The best argument I can see for faster than USB 2.0 speeds is YouTubers that shoot 4k video on iPhones and then need to edit the video. That's a very small number of people though

Proprietary card audio port? What are you talking about? Apple doesn't care about wired audio and neither does the average consumer.

I've been using Bluetooth headphones for many years and imo it was the right call to push the industry in this direction. Bluetooth headphones don't die as quickly as you think. My first gen QC35 lasted close to 5 years when I replaced them and the battery was still good. They were replaced because they started making a weird noise randomly and I didn't take the best care of them so probably some wire in them became loose or something.

People don't like change but if you still want to use wired headphones you can. Use a USB-C/lightning adapter to headphone jack.

Batteries can last a long time. We have a Tesla in the driveway that I expect the battery to last 10+ years at least.

I'm guessing it saves them a few cents. I just don't think most customers care so I can see why they'd want to save a little bit of money.

What are you transferring? Do you really think others are? Most people just use Google Photos or equivalent for photo back up and YouTube Music/Spotify/Apple Music/Amazon Music/etc.

What % of mobile users plug their phones into a computer to move files on/off them? I'm not even an iPhone user (I have a Pixel 6 Pro) and it's probably been 5+ years since I last moved files over USB on my phone.

I'm not going to keep a metal straw on me for the odd time I want bubble tea.

Have you ever had bubble tea?

[–] theoc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

How do you get pearls that are at the bottom of the cup? You drink the tea first and then use a spoon for pearls? Bubble tea requires a straw to properly enjoy. Otherwise you can't get a mixture of both tea and pearls.

How are you going to drink bubble tea without a straw?

What? The climate controls are always visible.. how hard is it to tap or slide your finger on them.

Since it was a rental someone before you probably turned off auto brightness controls.

Polestar 2 has only 1 cupholder and is cramped. I don't get who would buy a Polestar over a Model 3 after test driving both.

Yea, the early ones were bad but current Model 3s and Ys are good.
