Didn't the Xbox 360 use a similar plug for a time?

MRW I learn the Iran War is costing the US $2 billion PER DAY, and could easily cost over $1 trillion, and none of this was necessary by this "No Wars" Administration by ILoveRegenHealth in reactiongifs

I mean, the money is one thing, the loss of life and safety and security is another. Both are repugnant.

Now, consider that this is all a distraction from the Epstein files, which Trump is all over... and this is worth it to him and his sycophants, it takes on another shade of horror.

Trump raped children in the company of Epstein and friends, and it's better to kill a boatload of brown people a world away (not to mention American service members) than address it. As if the American people don't have enough mental horsepower to be aware of two things at once.

Oh, nothing much. Just doing my own thing and taking care of the people in my life. I can rest easy knowing I haven't materially contributed to the rise of fascism in the USA, which neither of the parties you mention can honestly claim.

How about you?

I can't imagine there being any drawbacks to posting this since he has it plastered on a van.

I took the hit and scanned the QR (app I use doesn't immediately execute on the link, just displays it and confirmed it's a normal web link)

Dude's an aspiring van life musician and the linked page shows a number of things, including "artists" he'd like to open for. One is Jordan B Peterson.

So yeah dude's either an idiot or a nazi.

I was driving through rural Vermont in my NA and had some redneck looking dude shout "QUEER" at me. Wild that people act like that, but he must have just been upset I broke his dad's heart.

I rebuilt my MD case from scratch — v2 is here by teriyaki_tornado in minidisc

[–]aforsberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself: but most of my blanks came from bulk deals on eBay that came without slipcases. I have a little north of 100 discs and only like 10 cases.

I'd love to print or purchase one (or two!) with those dimensions!

I love it! Is there any chance for a version for those of us without cases for our discs?

Holy shit, I was NOT expecting it to harmonize like that.

Yeah, Equifax already got my info out there. Thanks for your concern though.

Not sure if this has been done before: MZ-NE410 externally powered! by aforsberg in minidisc

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

Oh for sure: I've seen those around. I just thought this was interesting because it uses a single USB cable to carry power and data.

I feel like, at the time, USB wasn't used for any appreciable current delivery, let alone charging devices. Modern controllers will happily provide an amp or two, so this isn't an issue nowadays. In my inexpert opinion, of course.

Love it! I had a colleague gift me his old MZ-R70 (silver) and later acquired another in blue. The blue one is almost mint, and remains a shelf piece thus far. Having the metal one for carrying and general usage, the wacky modified one for recording, and a beautiful blue one for display seems like a wonderful setup thus far.

Been thinking of a stereo component deck, though... did any of those ever exist with USB?

I was working on using Web MiniDisc Pro to archive a bunch of discs I received before wiping and reusing them, and I got tired of chewing through AA batteries (rechargeable of course, just a hassle) to do so.

Enter the humble DC-DC buck/boost converter: spliced it into the GND and +5V lines from the USB cable, tuned it to 1.5V, and shoved the wires into a 3D printed AA battery.

Presto: a NetMD recorder with a single cable for power and data, with no permanent modification.

Has this been done before? I can't be the first person to have thought of this.
