A ton more fun once you flash rockbox onto it.
Why did I just read an article about using an iPod that was clearly written by someone born in the early-mid 2000s? I know the original ipod was fun. I was there, gandalf
So we can laugh at the fact that they can’t find a simple 1394 to USB cable and instead rely on daisy chaining a hundred dollars worth of apple products to make it work…
Holy shit.
a hundred dollars worth of apple products
What’s that, like, one cable?
Hahaha - no, that’s just the little clippy bit at the end of the cable. The cable’s extra.
Yeah, there’s an interest in Y2K era tech amongst some gen-Z people. I think it’s cool, idk why you’re hating.
Nintendo DS sales are crazy popular right now too. They like our tech like we liked our parents’ Ataris.
Theres a reason retro consoles are a huge hit right now. Even emulation consoles like the Miyoo Mini Plus.
No micro transactions?
Parents?? That was my first console. How young is everyone here?
Intellivision was where it was at though, right?
Everything except that monstrosity of a controller.
Hell nah! We need to normalize controllers with replaceable faceplates that come with each and every game.
Only the rich kids had that. The baseball was awesome though.
To be fair, the 2600 is 47 years old, you’d have to be 52 at a minimum to remember it launching and 42 to remember the NES. I just remember loving my Atari 2600 all the way in the 90s.
I’m 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.
Well, it was fun back then. I’m guessing the author wasn’t alive.
There’s plenty of tech from my younger days that was fun then that I wouldn’t find fun now. An original iPod is not one of those.
What is?
Those . . . balsawood airplanes? With the rubber band propellor?
I’d love to get my hands on even a decent condition 1st gen iPod, but people want insane amounts for them now. Even my 5.5 gen was more than i wanted to pay but nearly mint.
I hope things like this will take off: https://cooltech.zone/tangara/
FLAC is where it’s at, baby
If RockBox still exists you could put that on iPods and play FLAC
