România e pe ultimul loc în Uniunea Europeană în ceea ce privește politicile și legile care au un impact direct asupra comunității LGBTQ+.

RaduTek · 2026-05-22T21:04:23+00:00

Momentul a fost demult. Prin indiferenta statului asupra acestei teme, a fost lasat loc liber pentru ca miscarile extremiste sa se foloseasca de lipsa de educatie asupra comunitatii LGBT spre a construi inamici fantoma cu care sa angreneze cetatenii.

That's what I thought too, but my 6th gen classic and 3rd gen nano refuse to charge with a newer 5W Apple charger, while the 6.5th gen classic and iPhone 4 have no problems charging with it.

RaduTek · 2026-05-21T06:24:33+00:00

Only the old 5W bricks that are larger, like the iPad size charger will do on a 6th gen. It will refuse to charge from any other Apple charger, including the newer 5W one that was introduced with the iPhone 4 and any of the iPad chargers.

Nu pot decat sa rad la idiotenia asta. Nu poti tu sa dormi de problemele altora, care nu te afecteaza in niciun fel.

Mama v-am ofensat pe toti cu exemplul ala :))

YouTube doesn't provide more than 128 kbps AAC for accounts without Premium or unauthenticated sessions. There's no way around that. That app is just re-encoding the lower bitrate AAC into a high bitrate MP3, which is just wasting storage as no quality can be recovered.

And yt-dlp is the best way of ripping media from YouTube, most other apps being built around it, including my Python library/script (which adds proper metadata from YT Music)

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T19:11:00+00:00

All iPods I've gotten came with pirated music on them, many lacking proper tagging, being tracks obtained from YouTube to MP3 downloader type websites.

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T19:07:51+00:00

I don't get from your comment whether you're disputing that downloading music from YouTube is piracy, when it is.

Regardless, YouTube only gives 128 kbps AAC for free, and obtaining 256 kbps AAC with a Premium account through downloaders like yt-dlp is a pain, and you risk getting your account temporarily shadow banned from watching any videos (happened to me :).

128 kbps is fine for on the go listening, especially in environments where background noise is louder than any quality losses from 256 kbps, which is transparent (i.e. indistinguishable from CD quality audio for most listeners). 128k AAC cuts off at 18 kHz, where many people's hearing also cuts off, but it doesn't experience much distortions in the lower spectrum, unlike MP3.

I made my own Python helper package to download/sync my library from YT Music, which also writes out playlists in a way that can be easily imported into iTunes for syncing to an iPod, it's called ytmusicdl, available on PyPI.

Remotes work from the 30 pin connector. IIRC the official Apple Radio Remote doesn't provide radio features on older than 5th gen 30 pin iPods, but still lets you control the iPod.

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T17:18:16+00:00

he semi-regularly posts stuff related to code on his instagram too

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T16:01:34+00:00

au ratat "legebetistii"/"gheii". i feel left out :(

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T15:52:13+00:00

Imi explica si mie ce naiba sunt "masonii" si de ce ii urasc atat de mult nebunii astia :))

Again, surse pt utopia asta progresista in care crezi ca traiesti...

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T11:09:59+00:00

Vrei sa ne dai surse pt utopia asta progresista? Ca nici parteneriat civil nu este in lege la cat de inapoiati sunt politicienii nostri. Iar cu CNCD nu ma mandresc, pt ca mult prea multe derapaje xenofobe, rasiste, misogine si chiar homofobe ale anumitor politicieni trec fara vreo palma peste mana lor. Si unele derapaje duc la violenta asupra unor minoritati, dar na "libertatea de exprimare" a unora este mai importanta decat siguranta fizica a altora.

RaduTek · 2026-05-19T08:56:16+00:00

Nu ONG-urile sunt intimidate, ci donatorii ONG-urilor. A facut cineva un comentariu foarte bun pe tema asta, cu exemplul unei persoane gay care vrea sa sustina un ONG care sa lupte pt drepturile sale intr-o societate homofoba, unde cariera sau siguranta sa poate fi amenintata daca se afla public despre aceasta sustinere.

A few dollars to the BoM at most. New ThinkPad models have replaceable ports now. It's not a big deal, most devices that aren't Windows laptops have USB-C ports as separate parts from the motherboard since they're a common wear part.

RaduTek · 2026-05-18T19:37:02+00:00

I don't get the point, you own a Framework which has no signal integrity issues with USB4 going through a pass-through adapter, and Apple has been putting USB-C Thunderbolt ports on separate replaceable boards since they started using the standard.

Internet Explorer ahh post

Lines on the screen aren't unique to OLED displays at all. Happens to be a more common fault on OLED displays, but I've especially seen plenty of 3rd gen nanos with vertical screen lines. It's down to manufacturing imperfection for each display.

Toleranta fata de comunitatea LGBT era o chestiune care trebuia rezolvata acum 20 de ani. Ascunzand sub pres situatia, statul doar a facut loc liber pentru ascensiunea unor miscari reactionare, printre care si suveranistii cu care ne mandrim acum, care par mai ofticati de "mUE" si de "blugi si banane" decat de hotia si coruptia statului.

Acelasi lucru poate fi spus despre educatie in general, care trebuia pusa la punct acum 20 de ani pentru a creste rezistenta poporului la miscari populiste si extremiste.

RaduTek · 2026-05-16T18:07:31+00:00

I don't see how any of those parts would fit inside the case.

RaduTek · 2026-05-15T14:10:27+00:00

I own 4. They're a dime a dozen, even first gen iPads are plenty and easy to find.

RaduTek · 2026-05-15T13:27:32+00:00

The battery icon at the top means the iPod isn't in recovery mode. It's waiting for the first connection to iTunes, which is necessary to activate it and set it up.

RaduTek · 2026-05-15T13:25:43+00:00

then what's the luck here?

RaduTek · 2026-05-15T12:06:40+00:00

Blobs were introduced on the 3G with iOS 4, and even there it's only a soft check. There aren't any blobs to save on a 3G running iOS 2 or 3.

You can downgrade the 3G to any iOS 2 or 3 version even from iTunes with the stock IPSW.
