They need to give us back the headphone jack, that's a feature worth getting a new phone for, but then again we can just use an old phone instead.

    Have a framework, probably the 1st gen.

    It had a big bug where it would go to sleep and never wake up, but I finally found a firmware upgrade and it's been perfect since, maybe a bit on the power hungry side while asleep.

    You might want to consider a used thinkpad, they last literally forever and you can get a decent one for $500 or so.

    Just my thought, the fw is great, tempted to upgrade the mobo at some point, or get the 16, but it's not cheap, it's more about being able to upgrade and the flexible i/o, which is actually cool.

    Or you could put a usbc dongle on all of your headphone cables for $1 each and finally move out of the 80s tech bubble.

    You say it's from the 80s like it... matters at all whatsoever. It works, and it works well. It doesn't stop me from adding an extra useless bit of cable on the end of them either, if that's what i really wanted to do.
