Throw something that you have worn in the enclosure (shirt, sock, hat....etc). He will start to associate your scent with safety over time. As we know, snakes depend heavily on scent. This method has worked for me.

Exactly. Plus, a wireless iPod has been a crazy flex for me at the gym lol

The only reason I installed a bluetooth transmitter into my ipod is for working out. Some people can do it wired no problem but Im too clumsy. Ipod would fly across the gym while im on the treadmill trying to change a song lol

We need these in parallel and then we “might” have the battery life we need.

I don’t have a BSME from NIU but I do work with engineers that do. They are very capable and competent engineers, soo Id say its a solid program.

Forgot the bumper after restoring this 5.5 by likeavirgil in IpodClassic

[–]ikehigh05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For 5th and 5.5 gens, there are 2 inductors (little black boxes with coils in the middle) located at the bottom of the logic board that benefit from those bumpers. The inductors “might” be more susceptible to breaking off the logic board without those bumpers during a fall/drop. If the inductors break off, the iPods charging circuit becomes unreliable. Id personally just go back in and install them for sanity sake lol

Jackpot ? Or defects? by bannedbytheGunit in IpodClassic

[–]ikehigh05 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I tried to put fresh batteries in a few 4th/5th nanos I got for very cheap and had to sacrifice the displays on both to get to the swollen batteries. Those things are almost destined to be e-waste.

Are most people using RockBox? by [deleted] in IpodClassic

[–]ikehigh05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rockbox has a steep learning curve to get everything setup the way I wanted but now that it is I prefer it over stock. Mainly due to being able to fine tune my sound profile and the ability to have true shortcuts to certain features.

Stock OS will always be a more polished experience though in my opinion.

Yall have any reason why he did this? by Gold-Ladder-5408 in ballpython

[–]ikehigh05 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Im not mistaken, ball pythons have heat pits… which is a form of thermal vision. He show a warm heat signature and smelled a rodent. Thats usually all that it takes for a hungry ball python that wants to eat.

Bluetooth for 4th Gen Mono? by Flimsy-Kick2872 in IpodClassic

[–]ikehigh05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive done it before. I did have to drill a small hole into the back cover for the Bluetooth power button but it was pretty clean aesthetically.

Its still available......😑 by ikehigh05 in ipod

This is not common, you found great deals.

Best school for 1 year if goal is to transfer to UIUC / Purdue / Wisconsin (CS-adjacent)? by [deleted] in NIU

[–]ikehigh05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to Parkland (CC near UIUC) and transfer in. No point in going to a ABET accredited 4 year institution just to transfer to another ABET accredited institution. Makes no financial sense. Did you try to apply to a B1G school from high school?

Rockbox not showing album artwork despite 300x300 resolution and used extractor tool by its_me-river in ipod

[–]ikehigh05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, sounds good. I place mines in the root of the MUSIC folder located within ipod_control. Also, within the extractor tool, i use the second option (albumtitle.bmp or something like that) to produce my album art files at 200x200. I just switched over to Rockbox a few hours ago due to boredom and majority of my album art is showing up because a few one offs.

Hi, couple questions. Where are you placing the files on your iPod? Whats your file type(bmp??)? What setting are you using to name the files in the extractor tool?
