Original iPhones had Wolfson chips, then they've went the Cirrus Logic route. I no longer track it, since 4GS probably, but I'm pretty sure it's still like that. If they sound better, it's most probably all software.

I'd say you're screwed in this case even if there is no Bluetooth involved. Run! 😂
But yeah, I get it, it's another limitation. I'm using wired Sennheiser headphones with my phone, it has jack, no problem. I'm just theorizing on what I'd do if it didn't.

Damn, I always forget, in-ear headphones are an option, so noise is not a problem.
For me they never were though, just can't get myself comfortable with them, these things hurt! 😅 @nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network @splitshockvirus

@newt
Why not use wireless headphones from some brand like Sennheiser? Audio is transmitted digitally via Bluetooth so only the DAC built into headphones matters and it should at least be decent.
I mean, it's a phone, it's meant to be used in noisy environment. I seriously doubt you'd appreciate audio quality improvement from using a separate DAC and headphones like HD600 🤷

Threads were already there as a software concept, as well as preemptive multitasking. It was a matter of time for those to get hardware support, for performance's sake.
But you're right, CPUs weren't nearly that complex as the ones we have today. Had we any security concerns, it was all software — thus way easier to patch things up and get a hardened system.

Ulefone devices look cool, but displays are low res and, judging by reviews, pretty bad in general. Probably a sacrifice to have longer battery life 🤷
My current phone, Poco X3 Pro, has battery life of about 5 days if you install custom FW and remove all the cruft. Headphone jack is there and it costs only a bit more than $200, but it does have camera bulge (fixed with case) and display is also pretty bad 😅

There actually is a way to do that with gcompat wrapper, I mean other than having a glibc-based chroot. But it's not very reliable.
Nice to know I can install flatpaks too. Thanks for the tip! 👍

Didn't know it was possible to use those in void-musl 😮

Doctor, is it treatable?

@thor Alice was a scammer from the very beginning trying to win Bob's trust and get his CVC2 and card number. Bob's probably long dead, federal agent took his place 😢

Well, of course they share cache, they can address the memory of the whole process in most OSes, there is no point in isolating them at lower level.
Threads are already a bad idea as they are, you can't make them any more fscked up at hardware level😅
Shared cache is bad when you can use it to access other processes' memory. That is how vulns like Spectre work, flat memory model is to blame for this. Addressing in x86 Protected Mode was so much better than what we have now

OpenSPARC had proper SMT implementation I think, Intel's is just bullshit.
I get what you mean though: shmem is bad, you have to do it properly and use ipc, bla-bla-bla
From security perspective you're right of course!
