Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

      Google realized they aren’t good enough at software development to prevent their phones from randomly stopping audio playback when using headphones, so they removed the plug for them in hopes no one would notice.

        That’s a weird claim. Do you have a source?

            Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

            My source is that I made it the fuck up

            Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      That’s not a big deal. There are many external DACs that work great. And there are many DACs built into phones with headphone jacks that are awful.

        My old Motorola X4 used the headphone cable for its FM antenna. The radio didn’t work without it.

          My current Moto G works the same way.
