Comment Re: I don't. (Score 1) 566

What people often don't realize about the headphone jack is that it takes power. This is this real problem for companies these days. A small audio amplifier places a drain on the battery. It also requires space on the PCB.

No, we realize that the small audio amplifier which is also required for speaker output takes power and requires space on the PCB. It must not be that much of a problem, since manufacturers are still putting speakers on their phones.

It's extremely difficult to design an audio amplifier with insanely good audio which fits within the real-estate constraints of a phone and also make it so there's no interference from all the surrounding radio circuits.

What about one of the single-chip solutions that actually fits into an earbud... and the shielding cans that are already in place over the radios?

Stop making bullshit excuses, you're not helping.

Considering that I had been the first to reply... yeah, sure, let's go with that. Fuckwit.

If I'm posting at 9:36PM, referencing a neighboring post made at 9:00PM, and stating that I had posted something else "earlier today", I probably am not referring to a post made after that.

Funny, I replied to this post earlier today, saw that reply in my post history not long ago, and now it is gone. Slashdot, really? I was willing to overlook the poor editorial abilities of your staff, but censorship? And what I said wasn't even worthy of being censored; I merely said the same thing Lord_Byron, whose post has been allowed to stay, said; with near-identical wording, at that.

And here I thought people were making shit up talking about their posts being removed.

From his comment, it seems he has complained to Amazon proper and is simply relaying his story here, in a relevant discussion, rather than complaining to Slashdot.

Chrysler tech here and I can confirm this for at least most Chrysler and Fiat vehicles produced in the past 5 years. The number of keyfob batteries I replace because the vehicle will only start if the button is pressed WITH THE FOB is secondary confirmation; without the battery allowing the fob to send pulses, the system reverts to a technology very similar to NFC (if not simply NFC by a different name) using an antenna embedded in the start button.

You're missing it, so I'll state it more plainly. I did literally write words similar to what you keep quoting (your edit changes the meaning a fair bit so, no, I did not write that), but it was not an endorsement of your work so much as a preface to an insult. Once again, my words were not an endorsement of your work and the fact that you had to edit them to make them appear to be such should be a dead giveaway of that.

I wouldn't bother replying to irrefutable logic, except to concede or agree, because I'm not an idiot. You, on the other hand, have just had your flawed logic refuted.

Still an ad, still a valid question, still no affirmative response from you, and still quoting me out off context as explained in my signature. Still just as toxic, underhanded, and dishonest as always; nobody should use or trust software written by someone with those traits. How's that for a review? Dick.
