Dull (Audio) Jack #

I love a good ol' wired audio setup. They're cheap, deliver great audio, and no worrying if I charged my bluetooth headset or earbuds before heading out.

Wire gang.

The one true downside is if the connector wears down and becomes unusable. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago so I went to an Apple store to pick up another lightning-to-3.5mm connector. My right ear was having too much fun on its own.

I flagged one of the Apple workers in their iconic blue coloured shirts for another one of these connectors. He searched on this tablet, and then looked confused.

"We actually don't sell these any more. I'm surprised as much as you are."

Lovely. Well, that's okay man, thanks anyway.

Darkness floated over me. I looked above, only its ominous, overwhelming presence returned.

Big Brother doesn't want me to have wires. Big Brother doesn't want me to do things my way.

Big Brother wants me to conform. Big Brother wants me to have Bluetooth.

Anyway, this is all to say I'm considering not going with another iPhone next time I'm looking to upgrade.

Bye!
