So what other reasons could have caused the decline in interest? Was there nothing that could be improved upon? Were there improvements on the software side that made hardware redundant and/or useless? Is there any other company besides Creative, however large or small, still holding the torch for innovating in this space?","time":1662047105,"title":"Ask HN: Whatever happened to dedicated sound cards?","type":"story"}],[32632720,{"by":"thepoet","descendants":518,"id":32632720,"kids":[32636480,32635861,32636300,32636012,32637819,32635993,32636424,32636050,32632871,32636199,32635831,32637519,32642596,32635896,32636329,32637791,32634577,32636614,32636455,32635772,32636347,32633115,32635955,32637602,32633781,32635973,32636088,32637143,32633095,32636796,32635943,32635801,32637269,32634056,32635830,32635893,32636016,32635918,32636165,32633596,32636473,32640860,32633250,32633354,32689586,32633439,32633846,32637804,32637759,32638273,32633173,32634235,32637305,32632789,32646290,32636315,32634297,32637764,32637136,32636959,32636035,32641056,32636267,32636625,32633721,32637316,32636613,32636134,32635963,32650791,32636911,32662808,32637829,32675421,32636555,32641780,32636972,32636946,32636781,32638284,32636484,32636772,32636159,32634128,32637708,32671591,32642577,32642695,32691782,32637640,32636611,32637600,32638236,32637297,32633042,32643169,32635920,32637748,32642642,32637578,32636063,32646517,32638269,32636308,32639232,32636377,32635793,32635779,32638678,32645341,32633292,32634188,32644102,32653502,32637981,32636768,32633702,32638077,32637380,32633560,32636224,32637031,32636584,32636445,32640740,32636118,32637261,32637770,32636989,32636546,32637035,32641342,32637654,32635832,32637908,32636722,32636255,32636880,32633963,32636731,32636723,32632902,32639529,32635789,32636021,32639274,32638910,32636852,32637078,32649688,32637302,32719518,32637007,32636843,32635782,32642792,32636052,32635811,32635923,32636909,32633969,32637984,32633099,32633641,32636278,32636897,32636663,32636594,32633611,32635953,32634574],"score":336,"text":"$1b","time":1661725932,"title":"Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?","type":"story"}],[32463168,{"by":"__jambo","descendants":22,"id":32463168,"kids":[32463472,32466090,32463535,32474619,32464264,32465753,32463420,32463274,32463176],"score":16,"text":"Does anyone have any experience?","time":1660512921,"title":"Given Apple's behaviour adding ads, what are the best Linux phones?","type":"story"}],[32443924,{"by":"pipeline_peak","descendants":51,"id":32443924,"kids":[32444423,32444376,32444549,32444378,32444906,32444670,32444419,32444810,32443993,32444486,32447775,32444981,32444452,32444347,32453900,32444506,32454384,32449238,32444350,32444535,32443952,32444482,32444444,32445561,32444080,32444474,32444672,32444501,32444539],"score":16,"text":"You probably remember there was a time when we weren't buying new phones every two years. And when we did, the improvements weren't as trivial as a fourth camera or falsely promised extended battery life, partially because we could actually replace the battery.

It would be so nice if there was an old school Nokia approach, something that lasts a long time and is actually durable because it's not a glass child's flip flop that needs to be covered in after market rubber at all costs.

A modern phone REALLY doesn't need that much, Android seems to be a lot more lenient than iOS with requirements. All these curved, bendable screens do nothing but adorn our 2007 darling rectangle.

Business is business, but I think there's a market for people concerned with all the waste these things produce and a well made one could tap into that, even if it was 30% more.","time":1660338463,"title":"Ask HN: How about a modern phone that actually lasts?","type":"story"}],[32344010,{"by":"z9znz","descendants":166,"id":32344010,"kids":[32344784,32344653,32344720,32345241,32345603,32345224,32345049,32344815,32344686,32348425,32345425,32344778,32345573,32345117,32345027,32344449,32345263,32345245,32346599,32349218,32344712,32345266,32347874,32344628,32344736,32347340,32345262,32344840,32344222,32345138,32346973,32345007,32368834,32347428,32345833,32348426,32345258,32345176,32345065,32345249,32345108,32345351,32345054,32344910],"score":197,"text":"$1c","time":1659626104,"title":"Tell HN: Amazon shopping is racing to the bottom of quality","type":"story"}]]
