The irony of the meme being that the food critic ends up loving Remy’s ratatouille. Meaning Bluetooth would bring him to a simpler time like the ratatouille did in the movie
Back when he grew up just listening to music rather than being a bitter adult worrying about bitrates.
When I was a kid, I used to drop my CD rips down to a 32,000kHz sample rate to make the WAV files smaller, because I couldn’t figure out MP3s yet. Adult me is horrified by the notion. But back then, sounding good enough was acceptable.
Bluetooth is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But it doesn’t always work and it’s hard to figure out why something won’t connect. Plugging something works every time.
Plus most Bluetooth modes have horrendous latency, which is jarring when playing a mobile game.
Until the jack takes a hit and you can’t repair it.
oh yeah cause its way easier to repair something that uses bluetooth after it takes a hit
That’s not what I said now is it?
yeah thats how stuff that’s implied works
I’ve found that bluetooth headphones are about just as cheap as wired ones and being free of the cable makes a big difference.
Washing dishes? Don’t have to worry about your phone being to far away from you.
Laying in bed? Don’t have to worry about headphones getting pulled out of your ears because you rolled over.
Yea it’s a good thing the batteries in them are made of fairy dust that just appears and disappears with no problems whatsoever.
I usually manage to destroy my headphones well before the battery starts turning into a problem.
Maybe I shouldn’t wear them for 10 hours a day.
My last phone purchase went something like this:
“What phones do you have with a headphone jack?”
“Uh, I don’t think any. Maybe one? I’d have to look.”
“I’ll take that one.”
“But we–”
“Only spec that matters is a headphone jack.”
“There’s bluetoo–”
“Headphone jack.”
Gotta look for either a budget or non-major brand phone. I went with an Asus phone for my last upgrade (previous was an LG V60). Sony Xperia and some of the Chinese ‘gaming’ phones also have them.
Yep a bottom of the barrel phone from a no-name brand will still have an audio jack…
But the fucking Pixel line doesn’t. Pixels are the only real non-dogshit phone if you want a secure OS.
Sometimes you have to choose between two important things.

i love losing my little tiny dongle with a fragile little cable that I need to take off my phone to charge and need to take off my headphones to use them on other devices ♥️
Same goes for SD card readers! I don’t want to pay extra for storage I already have!
There’s barely even an excuse for it, as most of these phones have a dual SIM tray and one of those can be a dual SIM/SD slot. It’s just enshittification so they can upsell $25 of storage for a $200 model upgrade.
This. I have an s20FE which is one of the last samsungs to keep the microsd slot. I’m considering very carefully what I should get for my next phone and this is one of my most wanted features, besides 3.5mm aux.
Don’t even get me started on the fact you can’t just replace a fucking battery anymore.
Gotta keep that IP68 rating!
Pretty sure that has almost nothing to do with it.
There are other non-smartphone consumer electronics with IP68 and user replaceable batteries.
