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
I’ve never understood it, but there’s a lot of gatekeeping when it comes to older products. Some people think they have more rights to enjoy a product they knew existed for longer and it’s really strange behaviour.
I see a lot of younger people wondering why so many people my age liked this or that and it helps to have it in context. Like “what’s so great about half life? Every shooter ever is like that!” Ah, but you see, my young friend, that’s now. Everything is like Half Life because Half Life changed the landscape. Not really gatekeeping, but you do lose a lot of what made a thing special if you’re only looking at it without the historical context.
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…
I didn’t buy those adapters, I just used a computer that had a FireWire 400 port. I haven’t found any evidence of those direct USB cables working with old iPods.

Yeah, there’s an interest in Y2K era tech amongst some gen-Z people. I think it’s cool, idk why you’re hating.

Holy shit.

I’m not quite that young.
