I don't think it is fair for a person dedicating years of life towards higher education and becoming a professional to earn the same as someone who doesn't. Its not jealousy, its just unfair. If earnings are flat, what motivates someone from getting educated and growing as a person?

    And Apple aren't that much better. They make a lot of privacy claims, but are still pushing hard for their online services like iCloud, and their hardware is designed to hide what it's doing from the user. Apple is still collecting user data. They might be sharing less with third parties, but they are still collecting it.

    Mine have hinges that open, you can remove them by pushing up to remove from the hinges. My parents have one with magnets, but i don't recommend it. The magnets get rusty, and they aren't that well attached, some screens fell and broke with stronger wind.

    No, bluetooth is not better. Bluetooth has latency which is bad for anything that needs realtime audio, like video games or any kind of live performance. It also runs on 2.4 like every other electronic Wireless devices making it prone to interference. And it's yet another device to keep charged all the time.

    USB C is also inferior because you need dongles which increase complexity of your setup, it's more prone to failures. Like audio cutting off every x minutes because connection is just slightly loose or other electronic gremlins. I'm saying this having just had a gig and the MD's phone we relied on for the metronome started acting up during the performance not recognizing the dongle until a reboot.

    Audio jacks were simple, analog, worked perfectly fine and delivered high quality audio. What we have now is overengineered slop that is less reliable and more expensive.
