Re: my iPod broken :(



That is not a stupid question, and I have in fact tried to today but the original minidrive is corrupted. Also I've just been messing around with Itunes on windows, custom hard-drive, and other stuff like that but as of right now it almost only works when plugged in and it has the file error ...

Re: FOMO when switching to a dumb phone

This is a really relatable problem, you are not alone!!

The transition to a dumb phone has bettered my life, but it didn't happen all at once. Despite some sacrifices, I would totally still recommend it. What's great about all this is it's about what works for *you*, and what changes you want to ...

Re: In Search of a Dumbphone

Please report back!! I've been on a flip phone kick for a few years now, but sometimes there aren't many modern options out there for flippies, or the newer builds feel flimsy, so the "brick" design seems attractive because it seems like you could throw it around. ISO something "adventure ready" :D ...

Re: my iPod broken :(

might be a stupid question, but did you try reverting the hardware to its original state? Or at least, taking out what you added in (the adapters and such). Might be worth seeing if you can get it back to where it was and start from sorta-scratch. I dont have experience with the Gen 2 Mini but did ...

Google Maps Alternatives?

Heyo! lmk if this post should be in another place here on the forum- im still new to participating in forum environments!!

One of the few daily contributors that I'm trying to weed out from Google is Google Maps (and/or Apple Maps). Does anyone here use any alternatives, and what do you like ...

Re: Ordered an iPod


I'd avoid nanos at any cost...
All nanos? What do you think of the 3rd generation? I’m looking for something unobtrusive in red, haha. Is there anything wrong with this one?


the 3rd gen honestly might be alright, I just know that ipod nanos (especially the 2nd-gen) CAN be some of the hardest ...

Re: Book recommendations

If you're looking for tech criticism books, I've been loving "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now" by Jaron Lanier, and "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff. Both books honestly go hand-in-hand, and pair well together for some tandem-reading (i like to ...

Re: When do you use your phone?

I think you make a good point that there are a lot of rules around when to use or not use phones that people throw out there. Im not a huge fan of how these 'rules' are applied as a one-size-fits all, and treated as if they will solve all your problems. I never really found them easy to follow. even ...
