@wallhackio Don't know, never used Microsoft Zune. Did you?

Wikipedia makes it sound unpleasant

Wi-Fi: Zune-to-Zune, sync with computer / wireless network / wireless multiplayer gaming / wireless shopping from Zune devices as of September 16, 2008

Keep "shopping" and "gaming" away from my MP3 player :blobcathissing:

@vaporeon_ they were a joke in their time but apparently they've been getting a positive reappraisal. they were so unpopular ive never even seen one before lol

@wallhackio Who is giving them a positive reappraisal? Are they saying that wireless stuff and "shopping" on an MP3 player are good thigns? :psyduck:

@vaporeon_ i mean, the ipod had already become a cultural phenomenon at the time so most people didn't see it as a bad thing

@wallhackio Excluding that "iPod Touch" or whatever they call it that's just an evil rectangle but without actual phone functionality and therefore extremely pointless

@wallhackio Does Clodsire still have it? Is it a model that contains a tiny hard drive?

Follow

@vaporeon_ i do not have it any more, this would have been sometime during 2012-2016 when I still lived with my parents

@wallhackio :(
Should've taken MP3 player with you when you moved out

@vaporeon_ I really regret not taking some TI-84s with me as well

@vaporeon_ now Im thinking about the old mp3 player my parents bought me in high school. This would have probably been 2009/2010

it was this cheap plastic little thing. could barely hold 100 songs on it. it had an lcd screen that could only display black and white. this is the closest thing I could find that looked like it: youtube.com/watch?v=Afb-foPTLi

@vaporeon_ apparently this style was called a "stick mp3 player"

@wallhackio Sadly, I do use eBay because it's sometimes the easiest way to acquire parts for retrocomputing like SCSI cables or SCSI terminators or 5.25-inch floppy drives (cost me too much, though)

You should've removed everything after the ?, though, these are probably just tracking parameters and the link works without htem

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ it looks like the thing attached to a hospital bed that makes the bed lean up or down
