Headphone Jacks and iPhones

Tonight on GeekNights, in light of the most recent rumor of Apple dropping the old TRS 1/8" headphone jack (the pursuit of which being not without precedent), we talk about headphone jacks (or phone jacks), the importance and history of analog signalling on the universally adopted TRS/TRRS/TRRRS/TRRetc... standards, and the nuances of where to place the smart parts of your devices.

In other news, we're both looking into new HTPCs, Amazon delivery drones are more real than you realize, Formula E drops the humans, and corporations are trying to add advertisements to Unicode.
