Intel hopes USB-C will replace the headphone jack

by Jon Fingas

Bad idea for consumers me thinks.

That recent trend of gadgets ditching the headphone jack in favor of thinner, more advanced ports? Like it or not, it's going to continue for a while yet. Intel is proposing that companies use expanded USB-C audio support to "eliminate" 3.5mm audio o...

nearly frodo-free rings

i’ve been slowly re-watching the the lord of the rings trilogy this week as a brain break. we have the extended dance remix version with two discs per film. i started on disc two of the six largely because the shire part tests my patience and i’m not a big fan of frodo (waaay too emo for me).

in fact, i’ve skipped all the frodo scenes for the rest of the movies, except for the brief time they get captured by faramir’s men, as witnessed above. in this part sam is giving his big speech about how the hero stories they loved as kids are not about the victory, but are really about people who didn’t give up.

let’s just be clear: sam is the hero of the lord of the rings.

i will fight you over this.
