  • why isn't it ok? why????

  • I have an external 3.5“ HDD enclosure that has a USB-A port to connect the usb cable to. I have no idea who thought that was a good idea. The difference in price to a B connector can’t be that significant…

  • Und wo ich herkomme gibt’s keine Gurke und 30km weiter Gurke und Tomate kleingeschnitten und gemischt. Und wo ich jetzt wohne gibt’s häufig keine rote sauce sondern nur Knoblauch oder Joghurt. Und hab letztens mal gebackene Aubergine mit auf den Döner gekriegt.

  • I like things with history thus I‘d never modify something I consider vintage, as long as I can keep it working in its original condition. And for any modifications that go beyond swapping the radio or the wheels, I don’t have the know how anyways. And if I‘d have to pay someone for modifications I could just invest that money into a better car that doesn’t need modifications.

    Also, I’m German, so a lot of the 20-40 year old cars you can still get probably have better efficiency than most US cars of the same age. A 30 year old VW Golf doesn’t need much more fuel than a modern one.

    For analog music it’s similar to photography for me. It’s about the limits. The same way I love that I only have 36 pictures on a film, I love that I only have 90 minutes I can put on a mixtape and that, to get those, I have to split it as exactly in the middle as possible. It’s a challenge and the reward is a perfectly mastered little object that holds my playlist. I do play vinyl records on my sound deck but I don’t always want to listen to an album and just plugging in a bluetooth receiver is so hopelessly unromantic. A carefully crafted cassette though… Although I will probably listen to more CDs when I get the CD-Deck fixed, eventually.

    But yes, that’s all very much not utilitarian, which is why, when I just want to listen to music, I listen on Apple Music and why I bought a bluetooth-fm-transmitter for the one car at my work that doesn’t have bluetooth or aux-in.

  • If the car was old enough and vintage itself, I‘d try to keep it as original as possible. And that includes the stereo. Replacement stereos usually don’t fit in well with the rest of the car. I also love to work with limitations like that in general, be it analog audio, photography, etc.

  • I mean, I wouldn’t use them as primary mean of keeping a music collection. But they’re great if you happen to have an old sound deck or car that doesn’t take CD. You make yourself a handful of mixtapes and you’re ready to go. Much nicer than some bluetooth-cassette adapter.

  • There’s some nostalgia. Also, cassettes can sound very good. If you have a good cassette, a good recorder and a good audio source, that is.

  • If cash stops existing in my lifetime and I have shit to buy privately, I might consider alternatives like monero. Until then, I‘ll avoid making crypto investors richer, thanks.

  • Idk, to my ears, it could’ve been either. It’s a bit like the Laurel/Yanny thing or the blue and bronze dress. Would need someone who was there to confirm.

  • So that‘s what that stands for. I always wondered…

  • I do. Because some of them might be able to be brought to reason. I still don’t use Ex-Twitter anymore though, since they’ve blocked third party apps.

  • Because one website with millions of users is more reach than 100 websites with few users. Doesn’t mean you should use Ex-Twitter but it makes it understandable why lots still do

  • iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?

    Jump

  • My point is though, that the vast majority of android users also wouldn’t ever sideload an app. It doesn’t matter to the average user if there’s a door in the wall, if there’s exactly zero reason to go through. Because most people don’t have some obsolete device they need a third party app for. Most people don’t even use a custom launcher.

    I‘m not saying no one needs sideloading, nor that it shouldn’t be an option. I‘m very glad the EU forced Apple to allow third party stores. All I’m saying is, that doesn’t matter to the vast majority of users.

    Look at it like that: The average person does not need a pickup truck. They usually only carry people or some groceries. A hatchback would suffice, a sedan or wagon would be comfortable. If you gave them a pickup truck, they wouldn’t use the bed ever because they don’t have a need for it. That doesn’t mean no one needs it and that some people who don’t need it still want it, juuust in case. But the average user just doesn’t care because they don’t need to care. And should the day arise where they need a pickup truck, they‘ll get one.

  • Sure. I wouldn’t buy shoes that need an app in the first place though. I think that’s more of a joke.

    Again, when there comes a point where I need to exit the box, I will. I just don’t have to because I’m not buying shoes that require an app to function.
