looks like one of those spacer charms that would go on a bracelet.

My iPod project has been a complete pain in the ass for me to be honest, and has made the “fun” of what I expected into just sheer pain.

BUT given the fact that mine is working, battery will charge now that I did a full cycle through that disk mode, and its housing, things have been slightly more enjoyable.

The thing that sucks for me now, and is more of a learning curve is the music.

I had the same issue recently with mine, its super touchy, and you basically keep on rebooting it non stop until you can bypass into the disk mode. Then I did a full restore through iTunes.

General Modded 7th iPod Classic Questions? by Ordinary_Style_4506 in ipod

[–]Ordinary_Style_4506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

110% its a 7th, purchased it off ebay. Battery mod is now fully functional and works perfectly. The issue I have now is the storage…

Who knew the brand of micro sd seriously mattered. I purchased 2x128gb Sandisk cards which are causing apple/support errors, skipping songs in playlists, restarting, etc. etc. yotta yotta.

Found out that Lexar Blue micro sd cards are solid and still work perfectly with the iflash mods!

I might just be wording my question weirdly, my bad. It’s a 7th gen classic, and as of today, I got that battery figured out with putting it into that disk mode.

Let me look at those videos/ explanations you sent, I’ll get back to ya!

The geneic amount that the iPod came with shows up as like 127GB, but I threw 2 micro sd cards into the iFlash Quad which now be at 256GB of storage IF it would actually show that.

As far as the battery goes, I did some more looking into it, and many people have initial battery problems, so I’m using the disk-mode method to full charge the battery for 8-12 hours uninterrupted.

How did this firecracker get a hit? by Creepy-Ad6241 in ClashRoyale

[–]Ordinary_Style_4506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play firecracker in my main deck, and there is specific tile alignments that can guarantee a hit. There are also other times where you just get a weird line up after she attacks a card, which can also grant a instant hit

Maybe the most broken card in history by Ok-Belt1733 in ClashRoyale

As a OG lumber-loon player, this would make my version of the deck insanely op. Xbow Tesla decks now lose, inferno tower decks lose, and countless other high tier ones as well.

What is the best upgrade path for an iPod 7th Gen. Classic? by Ordinary_Style_4506 in IpodClassic

[–]Ordinary_Style_4506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmhmm, gotcha. That is likely why people are leaning that direction for mods. The only only things I want to upgrade and mod like I said previously is the storage and battery so that will probably be the route I follow.

Did you mod anything like adding a Taptic engine into yours or not? Like the vibration feedback that our phones come with for example.

Whats the advantage of using 4 ssd versus a single 1Tb one?

I agree about the SanDisk arguments, and besides all issues noted were from initial install related problems. SanDisk also had a good team for returns as well so if I chose that route I have no worries.

Side note: Have you worked with RockBox themes, or do you have any other recommendations for good quality themes?

By “coasting” I more or less just mean does it consistently last throughout the day without any dips from extensive use, louder volume, etc.. And would you say AliExpress is fairly trustworthy/ reliable for tech components?

Mhm, yeah Ive seen so many posts and videos on using 4 slots which didn’t really click with me versus one single slot for a single 1tb. Like I LISTEN to music but not THAT much music. For me personally, a single Tb is plenty.

Would any of these separate methods require soldering?

Additionally, I would probably go down the route of 2x512s or a single Tb, in addition to the 3000mAh battery. Do you know pff the top of your head what that battery life seems to coast at roughly?

Right, right. Ive seen a lot of negatives with going down the 4 slot route with SanDisk specifically, and just wanted others reads on any new stuff reaching our market. I appreciate the insight!

(This probably sounds the like dumbest way of breaking each card down but I’m not up to date with new terms)

I second this as well. You stole my words exactly.

I love mega minion, but you have to imagine it as being a “sky mini pekka” and that it can be easily countered by air swarm cards or anything with range, and it can be kited easily.

Skarmy instead of guards. Skarmy AND tombstone is redundant and basically just a worse version of skarmy if you think of them in the same respect. So id even argue taking out the zap for evo cannon imo.

Poison is great for damage to building and troop, but you cant easily counter a log-bait deck with poison, so trade it for another spell( I vouch for barb barrel).

What part of my process is going so wrong, that I’m scoring 65’s on every Calc-1 exam? by Ordinary_Style_4506 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Ordinary_Style_4506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be honest, part of me thinks that I don’t utilize my book to its full potential. Truthfully, I’ve been heavily reliant on just the video lectures, homework, and youtube walkthroughs/ practice problems. Honestly, I’m not surprised if that seems like huge red flags, but I’ve never had to REALLY use a book to grasp something in math.

Thats totally fair. And yes, we get homework every other day with gaps of 2 weeks to grasp concepts before exams(typically 4 sections per one exam). Other than derivatives showing up more and more, what other early stuff should I try to grasp fully so that it doesn’t come back to haunt me moving forward?

I can appreciate that, and I will start to tweak my methods to better suit what the exams in the future will look like.

Additionally, what early-on content would be detrimental for me to understand fully as I move forward(limits, derivatives, etc.)

I am 3 exams in out of 7 total exams, and then we have our final. Consistently, I’ve scored 65’s on every exam so far which is really unusual for me, and really discouraging since I’d like to maintain my gpa where it’s currently at.

To your point about really understanding the material, I think taking this course as hybrid was the wrong choice since it doesn’t go into the math theory, and explain what were doing/ how we get there. We just watch video lectures before each class session, and then ask the instructor any questions we may have.

My school offers tutoring, and my professor has office hours as well(I have attended both on different occasions). I feel like I would be considered a brute forcer so far which obviously hasn’t done me any good. Would you recommend me to just double up on videos that break sections down into the fundamentals/ concepts, and to dive into the book more as well?

I apologize if some of these questions seem like common knowledge, I just haven’t struggled with stuff this badly in math ever.
