Rant

A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

My parents bought me a new phone (to replace my aging brick) as a celebration gift for graduating as computer engineer.

But the damn thing does not have neither a MicroSD slot or headphone jack.

WHY DO YOU MOCK ME OH LORD???

It's the future, and phones have minimal holes. Wired USB-C headphones do exist, but the solution to storage space has largely trended towards "well have you considered the ☁️ cloud ☁️ ?"

Frankly I'm just glad USB still exists at all on phones. I suspect eventually that, too, will begin to disappear in favor of "haha well we have wireless charging.... What, connect your phone to a computer? Attach a peripheral? Why would you ever want any of that??"
