“High quality “ news?  That’s an oxymoron. 

This is a clear example of a deep-pocketed company trying to control the news content one can see in an effort to create news, sway minds, and establish/maintain a narrative of their choosing. 

Every news organization has choices to make. I'm all for Google attempting to keep some news orgs afloat. It'll be a nice change, since they've been eating their lunch for years.

Side question.

i am still using gmail. Which email service you guys recommend me to switch to? Even small fee pay email service is ok. 

I'm a fan of Fastmail for all of the extra features, though there's plenty of others.

Nope!

Remember when you could charge your phone and listen to music at the same time?

Remember when no one did that, ever, you fucking shill.

tl;dr (you seem ADHD): Stating legitimate concerns doesn't make me a shill. Denying that these could be legitimate concerns makes YOU a shill.

I keep my phone charged while playing music on speakers at home, so it's topped off when I leave. Or play music on a sleep timer while charging bedside. Others (esp those using iPhone as a hearing assist) charge from a small USB battery while using earbuds.

Beyond that, I don't want to dick around with a dongle every time I want to hear music, and Bluetooth audio is still shit. Lightning also adds the potential for DRM lockdown.

I always regret reading the comments on this site. So much stoopid.
