I also did some searching again and came across the usb-c alternate modes. There is an alternate mode for “Audio Adapter Accessory Mode” and this needs certain architecture of the adapter you are connecting to be automatically detected.

From the spec: "The analog audio adapter shall identify itself by presenting a resistance to GND of ≤ Ra on both A5 (CC) and B5 (VCONN) of the USB Type-C plug. If pins A5 and B5 are shorted together, the effective resistance to GND shall be less than Ra/2.

A DFP that supports analog audio adapters shall detect the presence of an analog audio adapter by detecting a resistance to GND of less than Ra on both A5 (CC) and B5 (VCONN)."

So the host has to support it, and the adapter needs to be manufactured so that it turns this feature on.

But i find it difficult to find firstly if my phone supports it, and if the jack is designed with it in mind.

And after that we apply the complexity of also charging in this mode, and chespest possible manufacturing of these things, or they just throw their own DAC in the adapter and call it a day so from phones dac -> usb-c alternate audio mode -> adapters dac -> headphones.

And nowhere have i ever seen the manufacturer of these dongles say how its constructed.

But i will stop here and forget about this because it is way outta my league.

I also have absolutely no idea about if anything i say is correct so readers beware feel free to correct me on all thing usbc!

I ended up bying a phone without a jack. I got 2 dongles that split into a jack and a charging port, so i can charge in bed while watching videos. One of the jacks has static noise and whine, the other has i think some kind of digital to analog interface that cuts the sound conpletely when the audio is too low.

So i hear static or when i watch a video or listen to an audiobook, when there is a pause in speech i hear the sound cut out completely, or if a video has soft background music on it, it might not pick up on it at all.

It’s very distracting.

And if you go online to buy a dongle, they dont really say what they have in them, or you dont know how your phone handles the conversion etc.

So I don’t think “just buy a dongle” is the solution. It works but now i have all these problems i didnt have with my old phone that had a jack…

I didn’t even know that I am this OG

Thanks Linux tech tips!

“The local library is a valuable resource.”

I wouldn’t call the local library a disposable commodity.

We so back

B: (:

Both continue the day not knowing the time.

I promise that I will die. Even if it takes the rest of my life!

Those silica gel industry big shots cant tell me what to do

The comic is “Inspector dangers crime quiz” or “Rikospähkinä” in Finnish like in this comic.

Verstappen is an unstoppable machine…

Happy for ocon and gasly as well!

McLaren couldnt do it, not sure if the situation would be different without the pitstop tho. Many other mistakes as well, and max just faster overall.

It’s happening! McLaren has been given a way out again. Lando now has to bring top form for the rest of the races, and they need to hope for poor performance from max to win.

This qualifying session has been a wild ride with norris barely going through, red flags and the both RB’s out in Q2…

Now lets see Q3

I’m not for the highways, but trains need train stations and large rail yards and big storage and maintenance areas, and whole new set of machinery and infrastructure to maintain.

Operators for trains and tracks and other systems.

Its not just “lay some track and buy a train”, and you are not saying that either.

Right decision imo to aim for that in the long run tho!

I’m glad you are here friend

Sony also put roptkits on their CDs

I dont really remember much about the first game besides the mission in the post, but i do remember driver 2 being really difficult game.

That one mission where you have to hijack the truck or something like that, and the car that is pursuing you will just kill you 5seconds into the mission if you slowed down for a turn lol

After 50 resets of the mission i just desided that i will not even try to follow the truck if it takes 2/3 possible paths, just reset and hope for easy route and then T-bone the truck hoping to complete the mission in the first 10seconds.

Or the mission that asks you to take out like 3 cars across the map, with a really strict timelimit, and sometimes the car you hit takes 50% damage per hit, sometimes 5%.

I was definitely going insane at some point in the playthrough.

Also ReDriver 2 PC port of driver 2 exists and is fully playable.

Ah yes, I have had that happen before. See that gap between two cars and squeeze through to avoid collision, but somehow manage to hit both of the cars and your car is in someones backyard pool. While the cars you “squeezed through” blast their horn for some reason… (in gta)

Yeah I would say on most pages it doesn’t work.

But just today I read some F1 news and the page asked me to pay and it just zapped away.

It’s fynny when there is a full screen banner that tells you to pay to read the article and then you just use the uBlock origin zapper to delete that and read through the article.
