I don’t recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren’t any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

      You mean the kind with negligible latency that always work? I’m right with you there.

      I use the typical Bluetooth ear beans for non-critical tasks like listening to audiobooks when I’m working out in the forge or mowing the lawn, or whatever. But for gaming, enjoyment of music I actually care about, etc. there is no substitute for my wired cans. Literally the only disadvantage is being tethered to something with the wire.

      I still rock a phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack and an SD card slot. I have, as you can imagine, some Views on that topic.

        What phone still has those? Samsung still have the sd slot, but not the jack. It’s dongle life.

          Plenty of them. The key is, you need to get away from the big name “flagship” phones which are all a rip-off anyway, and are missing key features.

          My current phone is a Moto G Power 5G.
