Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

  There’s a market for headphone jacks and replaceable batteries too but we all see how that turned out.

    the replaceable batteries will be coming back (thanks EU, don't know if it will spill over to the US tho), and regarding the headphone jack there seems less and less market - wireless headphones have started to win out with features like ANC, passthrough and long battery times (i have to charge mine about once a week, and they are not new), on top of getting rid of the cable that annoyed more people than it endeared. You still can use cabled headphones with an adapter, so i don't think it's a catastrophal loss.

    My phone has both of those things though?

      Yeah, mine too, it’s not the fastest and most cutting-edge one, though, maybe that’s what they mean.

        Why would I want to spend hundreds on what is essentially a thin client with an mp3 player and web browser?
