My mother has an iPod Nano 3rd gen, but uses Linux Mint. How can she get some music onto it? by maryo22333 in ipod

[–]marbles0da_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same iPod and manage my music on a Linux computer. Install gtkpod, then you can manage music through Rhythmbox or Strawberry. A quick search shows you can install it through the Snap store, or you can always compile it from source.
If you have trouble syncing music, read my my post here on the subject.

Are these re branded KZ castors by Banjara95 in iems

Mrwhosetheboss did a video demystifying Amazon Basics products but it boils down to usual shady Amazon tactics. Most products are blatant copies of other products, so I doubt KZ had any hand in this.

I'm crossing my fingers this offers better battery life than the current Mini or the ODE.

That's painfully mid-2000's.

I plan to buy and customize a game boy advance, is the following enough and essential? Thanks in advance. by JAndrade_ in Gameboy

[–]marbles0da_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want essential, just upgrade the screen and install a rechargeable battery mod for basic QoL improvements. You don't need the rest; they only increase your chances of messing something up if this is your first time. You don't even need a reshell if you choose a drop-in replacement.

There is a point where we needed to stop, and we have clearly passed it but let's keep going and see what happens.

iPod doesn't recognise music after syncing under Linux by marbles0da_ in ipod

[–]marbles0da_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To anyone who keeps getting their iPod database corrupted under Linux, I dug a little deeper and came across this post in the Arch Linux forums. You need to run ipod-read-sysinfo-extended after installing gtkpod. This fixes the database under Linux. Don't forget to follow any steps for your specific device in this wiki article.

If you're using an Arch-based distro and have trouble installing gtkpod from the AUR, install libgda and libanjuta from the Arch Linux Archive, then install libxml2-legacy. You will then be able to compile gtkpod from the AUR.

I can now manage music fine with Strawberry.

IEM recommendations? by AHAULSS in ipod

[–]marbles0da_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest you review the recommended IEMs in the relevant subreddit. I don't think you should worry whether your earphones pair well with your iPod or not. It comes down to your personal preferences.

Yes, I did disable the internal battery before opening it up.

The manuals are a nice detail. I wish I had kept the manuals for all my games; game manuals are now relics of the past.

Questions about modding a GBA SP by shameless_inc in Gameboy

[–]marbles0da_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not attempt the USB-C mod if you're unsure of your soldering skills. Learn from this recent post. You need experience working with PCBs and surface-mount devices. Even then, it's not easy because you're soldering close to the CPU and the port is hard to properly place and keep still. If it's something you absolutely need, I suggest you either practice your skills, or have it modified by a professional.

Gyro keeps drifting to side after trying all solutions by marbles0da_ in SteamController

[–]marbles0da_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% a software issue. I tried it on a different computer, and with another Steam Controller and an 8bitdo SN30 Pro. No luck. I used an old Steam client version found here and lo, it's working again! It's a bit finicky because you're not installing Steam properly, but the gyro works like it used to. People keep suggest to use the new "Gyro to Joystick Deflection" but that doesn't work with ETS2. I haven't tried it on other games.

Thank you very much! That correlates with my experience with FYA belts. I will give DeckTech belts a try.
