Another issue can be proprietary codec support.

Z space is at a premium too, because consumer studies (according to Fairphone) show that people want slimmer phones. More so than functionality like 3.4mm TRRS.

There are "gaming" phones that have two USB-C ports for the purpose of not obstructing the hands while gaming, but they can also be used as you describe (iirc). It would be a nice feature on mainstream flagships.

Show me an affordable dongle that supports full speed passthrough charging and clean audio simultaneously. Then, I'll agree on redundancy.

Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.

They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there's no point in asking the guard's name.

Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards :)

Battery degradation. Wired earphones/headphones can be BIFL if treated properly. A typical wireless device will see battery degradation within a handful of years, and I have yet to see a decent TWS solution with replaceable batteries.

WorldEdit...

I hope he finds it a game changer.

They didn't claim the windows version was run through proton by default. They said that some linux versions do not play well with cross-OS multiplayer, and thus the windows version must be run for said functionality.

I remember in ARK you would periodically shit a sphere. I forget what it can be used for though. It is definitely a game mechanic :)

Why are people downvoting? You gave an edge case and an example of it in action... what is there to disagree with?

There are still a few use cases... mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.

But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.
