Free registration at the forum removes this block.Wife ordered new Samsung Galaxy phones. Phone is nice. Samsung is gross. So much bloatware. Apps you can't uninstall. Weather Channel app can't be uninstalled, requires location info to use and spams ads + covid death info (and somewhere in there it shows the weather). The new phones don't even come with an option to add SD storage. I wonder how I've agreed that they will use my fingerprint and facial scan if I choose those options to secure the phone.
I've asked this question when "buying" movies on subscription services and I get the argument being made about the language. But I've also sold digital products that are no longer available; however, my products always had options for download, so maybe that is different.When you click "buy" do you really own all the digital content you pay Apple, Google, Amazon, etc for?

Are there Wireless-to-headphone jack converters?Just discovered my new Galaxy S21 doesn't have a headphone jack. I have to buy new wireless headphones and scrap my $80 Boze headphones if I want to enjoy the luxury of listening privately.
Ways to get interested / learn crypto:Is it worth learning about Crypto at this point or is it too late? Of course everyone hears about the millionaires from people that bought certain ones at $0.0001 and got a massive return, but is the market being flooded with too many options?
Are there any good reading materials to possibly get started?
These tax laws piss me off so dam much.
Capital gains tax is theft, all taxes are theft.
40%+ CGT? For the wealthy?
You risk your capital and if you have a win, you now pay us about 50% for absolutely nothing.
Enjoy peasants.
This.Ways to get interested / learn crypto:
Try sending money via Wester Union and pay $15 to send $70/$90...
while having to phisically get out of the house, wait in line, loose time etc (maybe even wake up early just to do this) .
Compare that to sending money as easy as an e-mail, with a $0.5 fee (when there isn't a bull market wich is most of the time).
Other way:
Live in a third World country with 50% anual inflation like Argentina . BTC becomes interesting quite fast.
Edit: Also for resources, Andreas Antonopoulos (graduated in Computer Science in the College of London) videos on BTC and ETH are nice.
There are USB-C to jack adapters, for around $5, that you can plug in the charging port. It works pretty well, although you can't charge at the same time.Just discovered my new Galaxy S21 doesn't have a headphone jack.

I did not know about this. Thank you. Apparently for $20 you can get a two-in-one adapter that will allow charging.There are USB-C to jack adapters, for around $5, that you can plug in the charging port. It works pretty well, although you can't charge at the same time.

It’s a blessing in disguise. Cords suck. The new AirPod style headphones everywhere are exquisite. I sometimes find myself not even bothering with the car stereo anymore. The buds are already in and I already like what I’m listening to.Just discovered my new Galaxy S21 doesn't have a headphone jack.

I use AirPods as a daily thing. Great for talking on the phone or listening to books, music or podcasts... if the environment is relatively quiet.
But for going to the gym, flying on a plane, or wanting to not hear something that I don’t want to hear, I’ve been looking into some RayCon ANC earbuds with the sealed off ear canal. Probably less comfortable, but useful in a different way.

I use corded, in ear, sennheiser studio monitor headphones while recording the show. They are great quality. I believe they have Bluetooth style buds as well.
