         I've seen some amusing butthurt from Fandroids about the TRRS jack - (malraux) - (46) - Sept. 14, 2017, 10:30:27 AM EDT
             I have a different theory - (pwhysall) - (45) - Sept. 15, 2017, 11:06:07 AM EDT
                 The Essential apparently has a solution to this problem. - (Another Scott) - (31) - Sept. 15, 2017, 11:33:31 AM EDT
                     This "thinness über alles!" meme that's infected every IT hardware designer's brain is such utter BS - (CRConrad) - (14) - Sept. 19, 2017, 03:48:38 AM EDT
                         Yeahbut... - (Another Scott) - (5) - Sept. 18, 2017, 08:08:46 AM EDT
                             But, a sharp-edged 1.83kg laptop vs a 2.02 kg rounder one is a wash... Or a win for the heavier one. - (CRConrad) - (1) - Sept. 19, 2017, 04:00:19 AM EDT
                                 Heh. - (pwhysall) - Sept. 19, 2017, 11:01:30 AM EDT

                                     Such cynicism in one so... - (pwhysall) - Sept. 19, 2017, 11:08:21 AM EDT
                         I beat you to that one (IOW Yes, that exactly) - (drook) - (7) - Sept. 18, 2017, 08:49:52 AM EDT
                             Yeah, but I *thought* of it long before that. -NT - (CRConrad) - (6) - Sept. 19, 2017, 03:50:16 AM EDT
                                 Did you think of it before smartphones? - (drook) - (5) - Sept. 19, 2017, 09:46:05 AM EDT
                                     Razr? - (malraux) - (3) - Sept. 19, 2017, 10:29:48 AM EDT

                         Heh. - (Another Scott) - (13) - Sept. 19, 2017, 11:45:33 AM EDT
                             Too true! - (drook) - (12) - Sept. 19, 2017, 01:11:43 PM EDT
                                 Evolution didn't "design" the headphone jack... - (Another Scott) - (11) - Sept. 19, 2017, 01:29:59 PM EDT
                                     Apple patent blocked Magsafe-like connectors for years - (drook) - Sept. 19, 2017, 03:01:31 PM EDT
                                     *Good* reasons? Do tell. -NT - (pwhysall) - (8) - Sept. 19, 2017, 03:53:24 PM EDT
                                         Heh. You know the reasons. - (Another Scott) - (7) - Sept. 19, 2017, 04:28:28 PM EDT
                                             No, I don't. - (pwhysall) - (6) - Sept. 20, 2017, 02:50:05 AM EDT
                                                 Licensing aside, something like Magsafe - (drook) - (2) - Sept. 20, 2017, 07:45:40 AM EDT
                                                     Yeah, but that's not a thing, is it? - (pwhysall) - (1) - Sept. 20, 2017, 08:53:13 AM EDT
                                                         You said "better", not "available" - (drook) - Sept. 20, 2017, 11:22:10 AM EDT
                                                 We won't be using 3.5 mm jacks in 50 years. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 20, 2017, 11:20:21 AM EDT
                                                     Micro-USB is a bad comparison - (drook) - (1) - Sept. 20, 2017, 11:34:18 AM EDT
                                                         Everything in that post is a bad comparison - (pwhysall) - Sept. 20, 2017, 01:03:04 PM EDT
                                     Will second the snark re phrase, "good reasons" ;^> - (Ashton) - Sept. 20, 2017, 05:56:02 AM EDT
                 Waterproofing would have made the jack even bigger. - (malraux) - (12) - Sept. 15, 2017, 12:15:15 PM EDT

                             Just to make sure I understand ... - (drook) - (3) - Sept. 15, 2017, 01:53:02 PM EDT
                                 No. - (malraux) - (2) - Sept. 15, 2017, 03:18:11 PM EDT
                                     Recommendation != opinion - (drook) - (1) - Sept. 15, 2017, 03:29:59 PM EDT
                                         In my opinion, the dongle should suffice. - (malraux) - Sept. 15, 2017, 03:31:43 PM EDT
                             Reviews indicate it's a piece of crap. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 15, 2017, 02:39:48 PM EDT
                                 That's another matter for sure. - (malraux) - Sept. 15, 2017, 03:19:43 PM EDT
                                 (Un-believably?) that's an Apple Inc. blog and.. - (Ashton) - Sept. 16, 2017, 05:48:33 PM EDT
                         Here ya go. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 16, 2017, 08:30:10 AM EDT
                             That's called the "Somali Hands-free" in Finland, if you do it with a phone in stead. - (CRConrad) - (1) - Sept. 18, 2017, 08:14:25 AM EDT
