Well ain't this place a geographical oddity.
I remember listening to a podcast that talked of how in the Philippines (I think it was), Facebook is the internet, because Meta/FB effectively subsidised the carriers into allowing FB access to not use up any data allowance. As a result, if all you do is go on FB, you don't pay a penny. If WhatsApp is included in this, then yeah, you're locked in with no real alternative.
Because money.
A good number of iPods can have Rockbox loaded on to them. I did it on my 4th gen, but ultimately preferred the original firmware.
The Mini is one of the easier, cheaper ones to mod, because the hard drive uses a Compact Flash connector. So you can either replace the drive with a standard CF card, or you can buy a CF>SD adapter and get more bang for your buck.
The 1st gens can only go to 128gb, but the 2nd gens can take 256gb.
However, they are slightly more awkward to take apart than a regular classic iPod.
I love the Classics.
I also have a black 5th gen that still has the stock 30gb hard drive and original battery. But that's at home, so didn't make it into my photo. I use that one for my chilled out bedtime playlist to fall asleep to. At some point it'll be getting a flashmod, but I want to do the 7th gen first.
I have a 4th gen Touch around here somewhere, but it's not in the best condition. Also, the fixed storage means they're kind of uninteresting to me. All you can do to them is replace the battery.
you are a beautiful and lovely person
Bold of you to assume!
Ooh, I like this!
I once read someone say that the best way to enjoy Swans live was wait until they took to the stage, then leave the building and stand on the opposite side of the road from the venue where you could still hear them perfectly without fear of your ears bleeding.
Ooh, that's pretty. I can't play guitar for shit, but that would look lovely hanging on my wall.
In theory, Super Mario Bros. on the NES, because that's the first game I really played by myself. But I'm not sure it really is, because at that time video games were just a thing you did, like watching TV. So I never considered myself a gamer as such, just someone who would casually drop in on games here and there. I was never involved in them, I'd just play for a bit, then go and do something else.
Fast forward to a few years ago, and my wife (who plays a lot of games) suggested I play To The Moon, and that got me hooked. A video game that made me cry - amazing.
Since then I've played more games, looking for ones with a great story. Played RDR2 last year, and nothing has come close to it since.
