If you are concerned it’s pretty easy to setup your own controller.
Only needs to be running for management. Make a local vm

The computer reboots 16 times when you plug it in.
If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.
It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)
Well… It’s not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing…
That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.
The buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.
So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.
Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.
Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.
Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.
Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.
edit… typo
Wired 3.5mm jack.
Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.
With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.
If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life
Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.
Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.
Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.
Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:
Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.
I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.
Did you swap Word for Libre Office?
This is how you get 40k Orks
