It's not loading for me. I thought that was the joke until I read and few comments...
Yeah but sometimes you have to spin it in the jack because it’s making a weird static noise. USB-C is king.
If your port is dirty you also have to do that with usb-c, still tho USB c is king.
I miss you Jack.
You wouldn't if you'd just let me onto that bloody door, Rose you dumb bitch.
My work recently gave me an iPhone - first one I've ever owned - and the lack of a 3.5mm jack just fucking sucks. It makes everything so much less convenient. Bluetooth is so much slower to get going than a simple plug-in pair of cans (or even buds), and then that's another thing with a battery that I have to rely on.
Such a garbage decision. Now I understand what fashion truly is, I guess.
I use jack cables every day on my audio interface, headphones, electric guitar, effect pedals and synthesizer in stereo, which means twice the cables.
Hmmm, how long would your jack need to be to be used as USB?
4 pins. So standard length because four pin aux exists

Unless you wanted high transfer speeds for something like an iPhone if you’re transferring videos, then you’d need something like 12 or 13 poles. Now imagine accidentally yanking on the port of a modern smartphone tripping over the cable.
I could only generate about 9 poles in my testing.
That's cool, so you could just wire USB through these.
There was a time we used it for data.

Pine64 devices like the PinePhone still use it for serial: https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pinephone-pinetab-serial-console/
A 56.6 kbps modem just needs an analog audio channel to work, right? A stereo jack has two channels for full duplex communication at that point.
But it was broke…
How many ways is that?
I'm going with "infinite" ways, assuming the 3.5mm jack is a perfect circle.
