I will never understand this urge on the left to race to be the MOST cynical. Um, some of them already ARE in jail. Every one of them who has been publicly in the crosshairs of Mueller is either in jail, awaiting trial, or pretty clearly has indictments coming. And we don’t know 1% of what Flynn told him. If you…

Criminals need to be held accountable for their crimes or it’s a giant sign that says “Hey maybe next time even MORE crimes?” If the NYSD indicts some of these assholes for money laundering or whatever else is at the root of all this there is precisely nothing anyone in DC can do about it.

This is the first time in his life Trump has seen people very close to him and his business start going to jail, and that’s probably going to ramp up soon. He is completely out of whatever element he has at this point and he’s clearly not above making some seriously jaw droppingly self-incriminating mistakes. There…

If Trump and Pence were SO culpable and Mueller could prove it to the point that McConnell would actually support convicting him then Pence would resign, Trump would pardon him, appoint some stooge hand-picked by McConnell who was never 10000 miles from the campaign or Trump’s business, the Senate would immediately…

Because it’s not just Trump. It’s clearly a wide circle of criminals who actively broke our laws to undermine our democracy and even if ALL of them don’t go to jail a bunch more of them should and most likely will. There is nothing Mitch McConnell or Brett Kavanaugh can do to save the Don Jrs and Roger Stones if…

Also his chin. Don’t forget his chin.

When W croaks I am going to straight fight these motherfuckers coming out of the woodwork talking about his “folksy humility” and how much he liked to jog or some shit.

I mean, yes I do have a computer at home and I think most people do have at least a laptop but even if not it’s a pretty disingenuous argument to act like a smart phone isn’t a “computer.”

Hey I don’t take any of this personally. This has actually been one of the more spirited Kinja conversations I’ve been a part of in a while.

Again, why is it Apple’s problems how you listen to the in flight entertainment on a plane? They never tried to sell you THE BEST HEADPHONES FOR AIRPLANES. They sold you a phone that’s supposed to be used with bluetooth headphones. And Jony Ive is 100% the supreme dictator of what technology APPLE wants to try and…

Huh?

In 20 years wireless charging could potentially make any thought of batteries in ANYTHING a moot point. You won’t even think about batteries anymore because they will constantly being charged by surfaces around you, not to mention that the storage capacities will be so large that even without a charging source you…

The entire smartphone industry has zillions of dollars of incentive to develop tech that would allow every human being in the world to be crammed into a giant ball all while listening to their phones through bluetooth headphones at the same time. I think they can get it done.

There was a time when it was inconceivable to anyone in the world that disease wasn’t caused by ghosts in your blood. I think science can tackle this one. It’s not exactly time travel.

Everyone in this entire thread is acting like removing the jack was a cynical ploy to sell AirBuds. They removed the jack for a reason. It took up a lot of space in the case. Space that they used for increased battery size and processors and camera elements. If it was just to sell AirBuds then the entire industry…

I don’t give a shit about Apple. There seem to be two lanes of this conversation going on in this thread. One is a conversation about the inconveniences of using 3.5mm headphones with new iPhones in 2018. The other is about the event that was Apple’s sudden removal of the jack in, what, 2015?

Sounds like your gripe is with the airlines for not having tech that is up to speed with your phone. Apple wants you to use bluetooth headphones with your phone. Full stop. They are unapologetic about it. They provided you with a temporary solution until you could adopt that technology, but now years have passed and…

The dongle is old technology. Apple doesn’t even supply them with phones anymore. What that means is that these phones are not designed to be used with 3.5mm corded headphones. They’re just not! If you want to use those headphones with this phone, it’s up to you to find a solution. That’s just what Apple is plainly…
