I dunno, people seem to have a real hard-on for pissing over Fairphone, in a totally weird way.

I hope these people don't find out that the Framework 16 notebook got rid of an on-board headphone jack and moved to a USB-C adapter as well. There might be riots.

And I know the majority of /r/android has long been Samsung fanbois, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. 😅

Fuck, I have a Samsung phone (from work, not actually mine but private use permitted) and Fairbuds XL. I use products from both companies on a daily basis. Which camp to I have to join now?

Can't you still buy a headphone jack, though? Which to me is actually cool. Consistency, the more modular the better.

Ah, I'm sorry to inform you but the company shill police is on their way. You will be re-indoctrinated, probably for Apple.

Yes, it's a USB-C adapter: https://frame.work/products/audio-expansion-card Due its form factor it's basically unusable for other devices, though (it could put strain on the USB port).

It costs twice as much as Fairphone's own USB-C adapter: https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/usb-c-to-mini-audio-jack-adapter-3-5mm-18

I already have Apple's USB-C headphone jack adapter. I feel even more confused now.
