Note that they said “audio” jack, not “headphone” jack.

Headphones are but one of many, many different devices you may want to plug your phone into, and a lot of them don’t have Bluetooth. Basically every audio device ever made (except smartphones) uses either a 3.5mm, or 1/4”, or XLR. These are all analog signals that can be easily adapted without needing a DAC, which USB needs.

I cannot decipher this title.

Fair enough, though Linux Mint also didn’t really know for sure what that partition was (other than assuming Windows because it was probably NTFS).

Disk partitioning is always a risk if you don’t know what you’re doing (and sometimes even when you do) which is why it’s always good to have backups!

Funny, but the vibration mechanism is actually very different. Whistling uses a very specific shape with your lips creates a vortex of air that creates sound waves (similar to a flute or blowing across a bottle).

Your vocal “cords” (vocal folds is more accurate), make sound by flapping back and forth due to the tension and airflow to which they are subjected. This flapping creates the sound waves (similar to blowing a raspberry or a fart).

So, saying your voice is just a prolonged throat fart is more accurate.

I wouldn’t blame Windows for this one. In this case, this is likely because the Windows partition table wasn’t updated when you changed your C: partition, so Windows legitimately thought there was filesystem corruption because the size didn’t match its partition table.

You should always used the currently installed OS to free up space first, so it’s aware of the change. Then run the installer and install to the free space you made.

Or better yet, use separate physical drives for different OSes.

You say that as if it’s an excuse. No program should ever overwrite an existing filesystem without explicit consent from the user.

Better than Windows just straight up overwriting your Linux boot partition on an update.

Start making room for GitHub.

lol Silverlight.

In fairness, a lot of those did take over the web for a time and lead to some cool stuff (and also some wild security exploits).

You’ll be playing Unreal Tournament in no time!

I was thinking of the 30 Pin Dock Connector, which was proprietary, but it looks like it used both FireWire and USB protocols.

Apple was known for helping propagate FireWire too.

This is the best answer. Obviously, relax when you need it, but if you’re bored, start learning. It’s interesting (if by choice), it’s good for your brain, and you can use this lull in your career to build skills that you can use to progress later when opportunities come up.

Plus, if you are learning related skills, your “slacking off” might even still look like working to passers by.

Ah, the Apple strategy of forcing a standard.

EDIT: By that I mean when Apple started putting USB (1.0) on their Macs back in the day to encourage more USB accessories. Not their proprietary (what was the old iPod connector called?) or lightning BS.

Don’t podcasts and RSS still rely heavily on XML?

Yes, but having both in place can help mitigate lateral movement risk.

Neat! I hadn’t heard of this before, but I’ll check it out.

I’m not sure what you’re asking.

I think you’re looking in the wrong places. Culture is everywhere. The mediums and groups of people that propagate culture shift over time, but humans are inherently creative and will always develop it.

Try looking in places where there is a focus on community, connection, and the art itself—not places that focus on producing “content” for profit.

I literally wait every year for this video.

Is that like a cis man wishing their penis was bigger?
