There’s evidence, but I don’t know enough of the science to tell how conclusive it is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7139786/#:~:text=Regarding grey matter%2C the main,the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3).

There’s adapters that allow charging at the same time. I’m not sure why audio jacks are difficult to waterproof. Samsung managed it on a few models, so it’s certainly possible.

Personally I haven’t had a situation where I wanted an audio jack in years, I assume the extra internal space goes towards things like longer battery life or slimmer form factors; not nothing, but also probably not a big deal for most people.

It seems like laptops are doing the same thing: all external ports are USB, and any specific needs get handled with dongles.

USB-C ports are pretty flexible, you can split one into many, use them for video & audio, use them for power delivery & networking, and they can transfer more data per second than cat5. It seems like manufacturers are trying to make it the one port to rule them all.

I really can’t say for sure. It rains a lot where I live, so water proofing is a pretty big boon for me. I used to carry around a USB-C to headphone port adapter, but I never used it.

That makes me wonder how the Zune pulled of having a pretty solid and clear radio without an antenna. Must have had one wrapped around the inner casing or something.

I think most USB-C ports have sensors that allow them to turn off when wet. I’m not sure what the challenges are doing something like that with the headphone jack.

Waterproofing is very difficult with a headphone jack. You’ll notice virtually every single phone with a headphone jack is ‘splash resistant’ while many without are able to survive being submerged. It also saves a relatively large amount of internal space, for something that easy to move external with an adapter.

If we’re talking about adding back in older communication standards, I would personally prefer an am/fm receiver and IR blaster; it would be cool to use my phone like a universal remote.

They usually only use the horn at crossings. Automated trains are grade separated. The SkyTrain rolls through Vancouver all night and you can hardly hear it.

Trains are way easier to make self driving too, we’ve had autonomous trains since the 60s.

Good point, that’s more accurate. I just wanted to get specific with the type of right wing nonsense I’ve seen from him.

Lunduke is a terf.

Most EVs don’t have transmissions, so at least that’s one less thing to worry about.

Baker’s dozens!

He’s the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.

He’s the oldest living Republican former president.

I think it’s possible that nation states are inherently unstable. An improvement on monarchy, but still vulnerable to oligarchy.

I’m not sure what the future holds, or what comes next, but I suspect that federation will play an important role.

There’s hunter-gatherer tribes that have been more or less stable for over a thousand years. It’s said that the Nez Perce have lived on the Columbia River for 11,500 years.

I find your finding of the cis label offensive to be offensive. That’s my right.
