We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

that's really interesting. USB-C was meant to be the one peripheral to unite them all: data, video, audio.

But no one considered that video/audio don't typically need to be security vetted, so shovelling them down the same wire protocol as data makes them less useful not more, and now we have to solve a hardware problem with software to let a simple media piece through.

Our desire for tech unity has regressed us

I don't think anybody wanted that unity for headphones.

say what you want, Bluetooth headphones are popular and practical, and their only caveat is battery life
