minus-squareAlcatorda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoTIL a jack is the thingy you plug in, I thought it was the thingy you plug into. Um, just a normal earphones jack, I think that’s 3,5mm? Not RCA and I don’t have ethernet ports either 😄
minus-squarebitchkat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-25 months agoYeah, I meant 3.5 mm but I get lazy these days and call them all RCA jacks to mean “those perfectly fine audio jacks that have been replaced with usb and/or bluetooth”. As an unabashed pedant, I will try to do better. BTW, it would appear that you are correct about which end is the jack: https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/audio-jack So it was TIL that the jack is the hole you plug in to.
