I found the quote interesting. Is the source material bad? How so?

But Qt6 is all the rage now so it's still 1 step behind :(

Still fails to launch with the eternal "Failed to connect to headset display" aka error 109.

I was also curious about it a few years ago but I never used it in the end, not even to see what it's like.
But I'm afraid this community you posted on is pretty much dead so I wouldn't expect many answers :/

If you're considering buying one you might want to take into account that they removed the headphone jack so they can sell their own wireless buds and headphones.

Quite important detail. Ty for the info

There's this article about gaming on Guix which I found very interesting but difficult to replicate. Guix is still quite difficult to set up in my opinion, but probably awesome once you get everything working.

Sad but not surprising really.

We all know companies are pushing for a return to offices but I expected more pushback from employees.
Luckily I have it in my contract that I am a remote worker and the company doesn't even have an office in my city, so I'm safe, but still I'd like to see wfh become the new normal.

Yes how convenient. They opt out of a port worth cents but luckily they sell hundred dollars headphones with batteries in them. I already have wired pairs and don't need any more.

Yes, because it doesn't just "lack" it. They deliberately chose not to include such a simple thing so they can sell more shitty wireless headphones. I already have good wired ones, so no thank you. And I find this extremely anti-consumer and anti-sustainability.

There is no good faith argument that can be made for the removal of the headphone jack. Companies removed it to sell overpriced wireless headphones.
They said it was due to size, but new phones are quite chunky these days so that's not true. Waterproofing? Can be done, many phones have waterproofing and a headphone jack.
Costs? Come on it's a very simple, very old, plastic bit.
And sustainability? "planet-conscious"? You must be kidding. It's way better to use regular headphones than the wireless pieces of crap with batteries and an amplifier and a bluetooth receiver in them.
