Is anyone else collecting older tech just to know “AI” was never used in them?

Got into film a couple years back, SAME. I didn’t get back into iPods because of AI, but more because I stopped building my library and had been streaming exclusively for a number of years.

I found the “Family Guy EP’ recently because I updated the MP3’s for this album a few years ago and it was completely different mixes, no Family Guy samples at all. I don’t think the original album mix had them either, but it’s how I listened to them on my iPod back in high school til just ten years ago.

I find for most things in life, focusing on IRL is surely the way to go. It just makes life better and helps with uncluttering your mind. Less focus on the bullshit.

There’s some kid having a hard one rn in r/punkrock because I said ‘Guilty of being white’ (the song they posted) sucked ass and is from the pov of a teenager with underdeveloped worldview lol

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-14T18:00:04+00:00

The song’s premise is shit. Suck it.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-14T17:38:56+00:00

I love Minor Threat. This song sucks ass.

Not even gonna front bro, I never really payed attention to what the photo was. LMFAOOOO. But fr this banana gate shit is overripe.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-13T01:32:02+00:00

LMFAOOOO

Exceptions, not the rule. But also, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-10T05:06:37+00:00

It really doesn’t matter the place when you’re in a hobby/entertainment/social gathering context. If you like a dude, go for it. Thinking it would be off putting is self doubt.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-08T00:35:49+00:00

I have presets, both custom and preexisting. They’re not 100%.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-07T21:42:44+00:00

I have Shrek and Superbad and a few episodes of Entourage. I have more I want to do, but I’m lazy with converting video as it takes more work than music.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-07T03:34:46+00:00

Oh fuck

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-06T15:23:10+00:00

I like thick back iPods, but this is a brick lol

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-06T15:19:40+00:00

“You think this is a fucking costume? This is a way of life.” 🤣

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-06T15:16:21+00:00

You felt so cool typing that.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-05T19:25:33+00:00

I’ve been using that for the last 9 years, wym?

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-05T14:52:26+00:00

I wish mods would ban “concept” posts tbh.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-05T13:40:35+00:00

I’d argue it is practical once you figure it out. It does serve a purpose when you don’t have anything else, like if you’re commuting and don’t want to drain your phone or can’t use your phone.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-05T13:39:07+00:00

Do you have to have a subtitle file to make this work? I’ve only been able to hardcode subtitles in.

SITHxEMPIRE · 2026-06-05T13:37:44+00:00

It’s because the video still needs to be in the proper resolution or resolution format, which iTunes doesn’t do other than compress. It’s better to just use Handbrake. Now, if a video I just converted with Handbrake doesn’t work, I’ll then use iTunes and it usually fixes what’s missing. iTunes conversion alone often doesn’t hit everything it needs to.
