There are ways to disable Windows updates. This is what I have done to allow me to keep using my reverb G2. Of course I don’t use my windows PC as my daily so I keep it air gapped for security

How so?

It’s more like a detached room in the back yard, like a small granny flat. I’ve been using it as a workshop but I don’t use it nearly enough to justify so repurposing it to be an art studio for my wife, as well as a VR space for me that i can have my racing sim rig setup. Also planning on building a VR pinball cabinet.

I’m building a dedicated windows VR gaming PC that can live in my shed so I don’t have to dual boot windows to use my racing sim.

Yes Linux and proton have come a long way, and for the most part is more than good enough. But for certain things (like my HP Reverb G2, or proprietary sim racing hardware drivers) it’s just easier to pirate windows

Another hole can carry analogue audio? I think you’re referring to a USB port when you say “another hole can do the same job”, but obviously it can’t carry analogue audio. You need an external DAC to convert the digital audio it can output, to analogue. (The phone already has an internal DAC so this is dumb)

And then of course you run into the issue of being unable to use it while the phone is charging because you have 1 port for 2 different jobs

Not all of us like the idea of wireless earphones, there are still many who prefer to spend good money on nice IEMs or headphones that don’t have to be charged to work, rather than overly expensive, subpar wireless options that will inevitably turn into e-waste when the batteries can no longer hold a charge.

Not to mention the ubiquity of the 6.5mm/3.5mm jack, this is standard across every piece of music gear you can think of from synthesizers to electronic drum kits to guitars, pedals, and interfaces.

You certainly don’t walk into a recording studio and find USB C ports to plug into
