Asking the important questions. At its core it's a DAP. If it offers nothing better than a smartphone, I don't see why I need another piece of glued together junk that could go unsupported anytime just for whatever sentimental value iPod has. Not to mention 64 GB is nothing if you're listening to lossless.


^^^ This. I would urge anyone who got tangentially excited about this whole thread to:

1. head to eBay and search for used iPod Classics

2. give Rockbox some love


It has a microsd slot, so I don't think the 64 GB limitation is that bad.


Fascinating. Wonder if similar results can be drawn from vaping.


There is no radiation dose from vaping. The nicotine is either extracted from tobacco or synthesized in a laboratory. The paper said the polonium sticks to tobacco leaves and I would bet the lead comes from the soil and it remains in the plant material.


FWIW WD is working on high bandwidth drives. We'll see when it hits the market though. https://blog.westerndigital.com/performance-optimized-hdd-4x...


Buuuullshit that the local governments made the logs public. So many local governments charge absolutely insane amount PER MONTH for the logs. And you're happy that they are public at all? Yeah they are public because activists pay for access out of their own pocket, not because local governments actually care about people and act "responsibly"


Definitely made it worse for me. I'm on 15 pro, and when I have anything intensive open (ranging from youtube video ~ games), the phone starts burning through my hand and the battery in it. I would've kept 18 forever, except the camera on the old one died out and replacement came with 26 :(
