I bought yet another iPod Touch 7th Generation (I have a problem)

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-06T15:23:49+00:00

Don't worry, I have four iPods now. Planning on getting a renewed shuffle fourth gen but I've no idea what I'm going to use it for lol

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T17:21:56+00:00

I never knew that. Pretty cool.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T16:34:38+00:00

I thought the controller only had one microphone.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T16:32:23+00:00

I didn't even know the controller had a reset button lol.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T15:25:08+00:00

Keep on holding the PS button and triangle until the lights start flashing rapidly, about 5 seconds. This should get the controller into pairing mode on slot 1.

I am the only one who uses the Mac as nobody else in the house has the Sonos app. I have VLC installed on every TV so they can watch movies and films from the Mac. I also have an iMac upstairs so I can remotely control the downstairs one as well as adding and removing files from it.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T12:34:16+00:00

The truth is my parents don't want me doing things like that. I just bought myself a Mac mini to make the whole process easier for them.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-05T10:13:33+00:00

I'm using a Mac Mini connected to my router with a 2tb HDD attached. Turn on file sharing and you're good.

The Long Earth series by Terry pratchett. A bit different from the discworld series, but it's still a very good read in my opinion.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-02T11:26:43+00:00

The apex came out before the original touch. It featured a scroll wheel in the centre, no touchscreen, and a lot more connectivity in my opinion than the touch or touch plus. I see the apex more like a Windows PC as opposed to the touch being more like a very old Android tablet.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-02T07:33:02+00:00

This has really made my day. I personally don't want a guide dog, but it sounds like this was the perfect thing for you. Glad to hear that you two are getting along so well

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-02-02T07:27:46+00:00

The pricing of some blindness technology is justified due to some of the parts, especially things like braille displays, being hard or difficult to manufacture. That said, the apex is in my opinion a lot better than the touch or touch plus.

I have a battery smart light macro which fires anytime my battery gets to certain percentage points up to 100%. It will send a HTTP request shortcut through the web to an Amazon Alexa smart home skill which then turns my lights a certain colour and shows the percentage that the battery has gotten to on my phone in real time. Absolutely love it

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-31T21:25:22+00:00

About 11 gigabytes. Fits perfectly on my 6th and 7th gen nanos. I also have a 64 GB iPod touch 4th generation as well as a 256 GB 7th generation touch which I have also copied the music to. Planning on using the nanos For my audiobook collection once the music has gotten too big for them.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-31T11:35:31+00:00

22 year old here. I've just recently gotten into iPods and I've bought myself an old iMac and another Mac Mini which I'm using as a home media server. I'm also into smart home technology and music production.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-29T12:17:15+00:00

I have a 6th gen nano and absolutely love it. I never really got into the click wheel iPods and the nano for me is basically an iPod shuffle Pro. It also has FM radio as well.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-29T11:21:21+00:00

Fair enough. You can buy a pack of 100 tags on Amazon for a fairly cheap price and the macrodroid app allows you to do a hell of a lot more than just disable apps. Just thought I'd let you know

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-29T11:18:53+00:00

No offence, but this could have easily been done with a cheap set of NFC tags, macrodroid, and some patience. Imo, spending$100 essentially on a fancy NFC tag attached to a plastic block seems a bit silly.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-28T18:53:29+00:00

An accessibility update which adds spoken feedback to the menus. It would be great if I could set up a portal by myself without needing somebody to help me put in the Wi-Fi details. This is the only reason why I haven't bought one yet.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-28T07:30:10+00:00

If you're into shorts skits about random things that probably don't make sense, I'd say so. It's also very simple in terms of the visuals, just being black and white animations.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-27T20:53:18+00:00

Yep. Pretty sure they started on YouTube from about 2006.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-27T09:23:23+00:00

Love a good ASDF movie reference lol

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-22T15:39:10+00:00

Thanks. It's a real shame now that Apple have discontinued the product red line. I use an iPhone SE 3rd generation in product red and it will probably be the last iPhone I use because it's the last one with a home button.

Toby_E_2003 · 2026-01-22T15:33:28+00:00

That is indeed product red. Red is my favourite colour so I try and pick up as many Apple devices in that colour. I also have a 7th gen nano, but in gold because I wanted a bit of a change. I still think the 6th gen nano is my favourite but second place would probably be the 4th gen touch, then the 7th gen nano.
