I feel like GrapheneOS shot itself in the foot, being exclusive to Pixel phones. Pixel phones were great, in the past, but now they're mediocre offerings for their price range and the removal of the 3.5mm jack pushed many of the more techy users away — GrapheneOS's target audience.

Not sure if I'd use GrapheneOS even if it was available on other devices though. Really not a fan of the hostile attitude towards rooting when it's needed for basic functionality like backups — actual, reliable backups for every app, unlike those provided by the built-in solution.

Jesus Christ, this again. Just buy good wireless headphones already, gramps.

I would pay you (almost) anything to find me a pair that fits. It has taken me a long time to finally find a pair that I can use not only walking but also running.

Then what to do when the battery dies? They only a last a couple of years. I can replace my phone pretty easily, but how can I find another pair of earplugs? That's a process I don't want to go through again. The human-device interfaces should just work.

The only other solution I have found is a USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle but then the phone doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket anymore, and it's very inconvenient when running.

USB-C headphones and DACs do exist too.

Get USB-C headphones rather than a DAC so that the DAC is in the headphones. There are high quality ones including earbuds.

I would gladly pay you generous reward if you can find a pair that fits me.

I literally mean this.
