The elements obviously move to focus, but I don't see any indication the lens zooms. The image on the story page only indicates "5X Telephoto Lens (125mm) f3.4", which seems to indicate a fixed 125mm lens.

Lastpass has been working since I got updated to Quantum, at least on Windows. Currently at Lastpass 4.2.1.21a and FF 57.0 here.

Even if that was feasible, and ignoring cost, that's still a bunch of dongles that aren't otherwise necessary. In my office, for example, I may plug my headphones into 2 or 3 other devices (laptop, stereo, etc) where a dongle wouldn't be used. It's just another adapter to lose that provides no actual technological improvement.

That's great if you have a single pair of headphones, and only use them for your phone. But I connect to multiple devices (various pairs of headphones, AUX jacks, etc), and none of those connect exclusively to my phone. So that either necessitates carrying a dongle everywhere, or getting a bunch of dongles for every device, even though they would often be unnecessary (plugging headphones into a stereo/laptop/etc, plugging another phone into an AUX jack, etc). Not to mention that one would need separate dongles for USB-C and Lightning devices.

It's not an issue of technology progressing and moving on. Headphones and AUX inputs exist beyond the world of cell phones and aren't going anywhere. 1/8" connectors have been in use for over 60 years, and the larger 1/4" connectors have been in use since the 19th century. There's no technological progression that makes those connectors obsolete.

The additional cost is annoying, but the main issue is still having to deal with adapters where they otherwise wouldn't be necessary. 1/8" plugs and jacks are ubiquitous. Lightning and USB-C, not so much. I use Bluetooth for certain things, but there are applications where it isn't a reasonable solution.

Easy enough if you only ever connect to one device. Not so easy if you connect to multiple devices, especially when they aren't yours, at your home, etc. In such cases, buying a dongle for each device is not only not feasible, it's impossible. Which leads back to carrying a dongle everywhere.

That dongles for Apple and Android devices are not interchangeable only adds to the problem.

It has nothing to do with "nerd rage" and everything to do with usability. I have multiple pairs of headphones that I often use (work, office, bedroom, etc), plus I regularly plug my phone into various line-level inputs. The lack of a 1/8" jack means I would either have to 1) always carry a dongle around with my phone or 2) keep a dongle with every device I *might* connect to.

Audio exists outside the realm of cell phones, and analog audio isn't going anywhere. Removal of built-in analog out on phones is a definite hindrance.

As long as grandma's phone didn't predate direct dialing, plenty of phone systems still support pulse dialing.

Pretty much every note, every inch of tape that the Beatles ever produced has been bootlegged. Collectors like me already have all this stuff, though maybe the new releases might have better sound quality. The Beatles themselves would be first to admit that some of this was substandard work though, which is why it wasn't released back then in the first place

This couldn't be further from the truth. Hundreds (thousands?) of hours of material has still not seen the light of day. That isn't to say it's all *great*, but what has been bootlegged already only scratches the surface of what remains (not to mention the material that no longer exists).
