Ok but that sounds like exactly the kind of shit test God puts people through in religious parables.

Give them an unbelievable and entirely random thing that SAYS it’s supernaturally evil (and it actually is, but it’s also so out of left field–) and if they don’t take the warning at face value and put it back down they will go to hell forever or something.

Heh. L’d. Funni. Because in the show there’s a guy named –

The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they’re young

And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)

And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming – But they will have some common ground with you still.

… It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.

I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

Like.

If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

What is it with Lemmy and terrible-quality ragebait today?

When you’re god’s most perfect killing machine but you also fit inside the palm of a hand and people make kissy noises at you.

It can but it’s useless

It only works if the browser tab is focused.

Not very useful as a PTT key.

So a cassette tape works by using electromagnetism. Ferric Oxide (AKA, literally rust powder) has a property that if exposed to a magnetic field, it will create a weak version of that magnetic field within itself

So the record head of a tape machine is an electromagnet that changes its field based on the actual audio signal, translating audio frequencies directly to magnetic directions and strengths, while the read head is a passive electromagnetic coil that picks up that weak magnetic field on the rust-coated plastic tape while a small motor runs the tape past it and emits it as a soundwave.

The tape adapter skips 90% of these steps —

— It just has an electromagnetic coil of its own, positioned so it lines up with the play head, and when you feed it an audio signal, that audio signal gets directly translated to a magnetic field just by running it through the coil. The tape deck picks it up and doesn’t even realise there is no tape running through

Also buying a whole-ass new car stereo (+ installation) is much more expensive than a bluetooth adaptor from China

So if you’re driving an ancient car out of necessity rather than for the aesthetic, this can help you get music into it.

F’course

Most cars from the age of tapes nowadays are relics. “Old cars” in the range that poor people drive out of necessity are from the CD age instead.

Love me some anachronism stew.

They make these things with bluetooth now believe it or not.

Pair the tape

Stick it in a cassette player

Play music on your phone.

It’s funny because anecdotally, the entirety of the FOSS movement was started because Richard Stallman was tilted that he had the know-how to fix the printer at the lab he worked at, but was not legally allowed to.

You’d think “Printers” would have been the first thing the FSF would have tried to create.

Can’t wait.
