  • exactly at one point I had a several terabyte raid 5 array that I had been collecting since napster through the LAN iTunes sharing thing through torrents but I don’t even know where those drives are, let alone a mobo/desktop that I can plug it into. at least they’re sata not pata/ide. I see videos freaking out about how weird ipod shuffles were and I’m like I loved my shuffle and click wheel and video one

    but honestly as much as I lament my “losses” this new era with connected devices everywhere and an endless explosion of high quality new content is amazing. even if I chose to only listen to new music 24/7 I could never even scratch the surface of all the new stuff coming out these days in every language in every genre accessible for free to everyone with a phone. it seems silly to think about the days when Metallica sued napster over 20$ cds (although the south park episode was great) now artists are begging for people to hover 2 seconds over free tik tok clips of their songs







  • the price difference and, well, its plasticity is unparalleled

    nothing else comes even close within several orders of magnitude. the other options listed ITT are complete jokes. you think goods are expensive now because of a few points of inflation? imagine paying a few dollars extra for thick and heavy glass bottles for everything or fancy custom made seaweed mushroom compounds instead of medical grade sterile plastic wrap that costs 2c per football field
