I see some end in a thin pin or are short. I was thinking of the ones that are the full size of a plug, of course.
Try “3.5mm dust plug”.
They should disconnect the speaker if the socket is the type when the plug physically pushes a connection apart.
I think that phones may handle it all electronically.
Web browser? “app”. Web page? “app”. Dialog box? “app”. Phone app that’s just a thin shell for the web site? “appapp”.
I think I heard “applet” being mentioned for embedded java or something in the early 2000s. I don’t know if that’s connected.
Well storing that would only take half a bit.

It’s not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.
For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.
I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.
11·2 months agoI generally agree, but this is the website of the BBC, a long-established TV and radio broadcaster.
It’s amazing that they put so many text stories on their site, really.
Don’t get it confused with a dating site.

Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don’t have the connotations of “trailer trash”.
The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.
The clubs can be family-oriented so it’s not unusual to have kids there too.
Here’s where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p’s into arcade machines: there’s an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.

Can’t spell “functional” without “fun”!

Some of the American English words used by young people sounds confusing, but are just abbreviations: “riz” for charisma.
Others, I don’t know where they came from: “yeet” to mean throw.
Skeptoid.
The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.
Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.
I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I’ve always liked maps so as a specific example that’s an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city’s buildings, and even see where my family members are.
Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don’t need bags, now.
Oh, many years ago I had a baby monitor that included a pressure mat. If it detected no movement for a while (it was sensitive enough to detect breathing) it set off an alarm.
Although if such a thing exists today, it probably requires an app and a subscription. Enshitification.
