Eh. Just buy a half-decent DAC. I liked Scarlett 2i2, currently rocking Zoom UAC-232; if you're after a smaller package and don't need an XLR mic, I've heard very good things about Audioquest DragonFly. > When my phone pla

In my view, this falls under fair use. If you have a private copy of a printed newspaper, you're free to tear out a page, draw pen-mustaches, wrap a fish in it, make a paper airplane, solve the crossword puzzle incorrectly, wipe yourse

On the contrary, Siri already works perfectly (or rather, used to work) for a lot of things... It's just Apple keeps on randomly changing stuff, and every time they change something, shit breaks. "Hey Siri, good evening" - &q

This. Nintendo comes to mind; charging the Switch (the earlier models IIRC) with a third-party adapter was a lottery, and the losing prize was a fried console. They've been guilty of this practice for as long as they've been makin
