The earpods Apple ships with current phones are Lightning, and analog, so the claim in this article that Lightning cannot carry analog audio is wrong. They also carry digital and power too, clearly.

Lightning does NOT carry analog audio signals. It can carry digital. The Lightning EarPods and 3.5mm adapter contain a DAC that converts the digital signal to analog and vice versa.

"Lightning does not carry analog audio. USB-C cables can, assuming that they are compliant with the USB Audio Device Class (ADC) 3.0 standard -- but decoding the signal requires a similarly equipped device at the other end of the cable."

I'm not gonna lie. I'm getting tired of paying 29.99 for adaptors that should cost 2.99

I'm not speaking as a Trump supporter… he's not my guy… but I can't stand media mischaracterizations, and this is just one of a litany of such…

There was no "mandate", nor did he say anything about "forcing" Apple to do anything. Specific words spoken, in the context of Making America Great Again, were "I think we're going to get things coming. We're going to get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries."

This reads as if to say "we are going to make Apple WANT to start building their damn computers in this country again"… again, you make America great, manufacturing comes back here. It is irresponsible to use the word "mandate" or to assume that he was talking about doing anything by force.

He can do no such thing, He's a liar in the extreme and it doesn't matter since whatever he says, someone will defend it.
There is no misrepresentation and you are a Trump supporter or you wouldn't even attempt to defend his crap.

his jingoist "making American great" (sic) is sickening on sight. The US is right now one of the only bright economic spot on earth and is already good. Could it be better: yes, everyone strives for better.

you, by virtue of the fact that you are a leftist, ARE a liar by definition.  The ends will always justify the means, and that means saying whatever you have to to destroy whoever you don't like.  

I am so sick to death and tired of these Envirochondriac nutbag leftist climate change buttholes. None of this is anything more than an attempt to force people to submit to a particular dogma using "THE FATE OF THE PLANET" as some sort of ultimate moral authority by which to levy their taxes and control your behavior. Such garbage, every last bit of it.

Look at this cack right here:

"December's Paris Agreement on climate change, which settled on limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial temeratures, and 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) if at all possible."

So they're going to limit the temperature of earth, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE?!

Guess what? IT ISN'T. It isn't at ALL possible to affect the temperature of earth short of global thermonuclear war, and even then, Earth will return to right where she was eventually.

I saw this movie, and it sucked.  It was one of the worst films I have ever seen, period. 

The dialogue is shit, the characters are shit, every single word that's uttered is shit, and the film not only take historical liberties, it flat out invents from whole cloth much of its content.

Aaron Sorkin is a one-trick pony, and by "pony" I mean "cynical, sarcastic, self-important, mentally-depressed, intellectually incoherent dick."
