I found myself a bean at goodwill a while ago, and the little boi works great, the screen is super bright and the USB ejection gimmick works perfectly. I apologize that your beaniness was not up to the standard lmao
I feel so bad for the Eee PC. It screams so often just asking for the display resolution to be fixed but Dank just closes all the popups instead of fixing the problem the popups are trying to help him to solve.
And that’s just cos he’s busy. He knows the things really. But the scary thing is most people really do approach computers that way. A message is the problem, closing it makes the problem go away.
I feel good about that. My dad had an Eee PC, and it was an awful piece of shit, the fucker had to be formatted multiple times because it thought the volume button was always pressed, so there was a messy pop-up with the volume that appeared all of the time, and the volume had to be on max all the time. It was also laggy as hell, actually unusable. I had to use it for school for a week and it was awful, do not know how my dad resisted throwing the fucker out of the window.
The Bean was, in fact, my first MP3 player (and my mom's too). For listening to some Bon Jovi and AC/DC on the school bus in middle school or walking around the neighborhood for exercise (her use), it was perfect. The software wasn't that bad, all things considered. The problem is that the rail pin (for lack of a better term) was held in with glue and that glue wore down. I was a kid and didn't have super glue, so I couldn't fix mine. Also that CHKDSK thing could be turned off via a command line string.
This Bean was one of my very first MP3 players, so hearing all the frustration made it hurt just a little bit. The ATRAC junk was pretty awful, but I couldn't help but love that switchblade USB. Now if you ever get a Sansa Clip or C200 in your nugget pulls and hate those, I'll have words!
I think all the beans' screens are so dim are because of the OLED screens having severely degraded after a decade and a half, no matter in the package unopened or out in use.
I was under the impression they only degraded during use, but yeah, I think you're right. My dad had a Sony "MP3" player from the same era with a blue OLED screen (same garbage software, but his wasn't a bean…it looked more like a chonky thumb drive) and I remember the screen being very vivid and easy to see.
Yeah, OLED was known for that - especially the early version of the tech. Is why I never cared about the new OLED revolution. Why do I want a screen that will fad in a few years?
Makes me think of the MZ-RH1, a super fancy hi-md minidisc player, goes for over a thousand dollars on the internet, and is guaranteed to have either a dead OLED screen or one that will die soon.
i love this once you got to the software part. what you forgot is in this era we were like, Jedi masters of knowing what parts to do and what parts to skip. if you bothered to read all the boring shit you could have saved some pain but truly it's just that we've lost the skills from that time

This was my first mp3 player, so I kinda got emotional watching the video hahahaha I loved it so much. Simpler times when most of my friends only had access to those USB looking ones. I was the cool kid thanks to a relative bringing me this as a gift from the US. My bean was a total trooper, surviving half of his life without the main button.

ATRAC3plus was the SONY-designed format for later models of MiniDisc, and all the SonicStage stuff was also used for MiniDisc stuff, in case anyone was wondering :)
It was actually a good codec, far better than MP3. Too bad it was proprietary, and until the FFMPEG devs reverse engineered it you couldn't even decode it without Sony's SonicStage shitware. It was used in far more products than minidisc, I had a discman with Atrac3plus support and you could put hours of music on one CD at crazy low bitrates and it sounded really good.
@@irtbmtind89 good thing OGG vorbis and now Opus have done just that whilst also being open standards. I wish we now had an open form of something like DSD. Sony's audio codecs are really good but it sucks that they're so paranoid of bootleging they lock them down to high hell
@@ronsis2002 Very typical Sony, they had some of the best R&D and engineering capabilities in the world (in the early 00s arguably better than apple) and pissed it away with bad management decisions.
I can’t believe you didn’t find a way to connect the beans earbuds to the bean. I know it doesn’t have Bluetooth but there are Bluetooth dongles for TV’s that would make it work 😂
I'd kill for a premium version of this sweet bean with like a oled screen, gold plated type-c usb, brushed aluminium body and all. It would be a true piece of art.
I think the volume controls being 'left/right' was a deliberate design choice - if you hold the bean in one hand, it actually turns the volume into 'up/down'.
@@HappyBeezerStudios When it's stuffed in your pocket, you won't need to. Just read it once and you won't even need to remember because the design it totally intuitive. The 'top' of the device is where your thumb would naturally rest, and the intuitive 'up/down' rocking position makes total sense. Basically doesn't need any explanation. It's ergonomically genius.
It being so dim is a problem of the old OLED screen tech, it was such an early iteration of them, that a lot of them from that period degraded to being unusable in about 10 years.
Man, those headphones are a walk down memory lane. I bought those style of headphones separately for my iPod and they were my headphones for university for quite some time. Always despised the white colour scheme, they ran into the exact same problem Apple did with their stock headphones in that they turned greasy and dirty within _days_ of using them. I think I still have the Atrac3Plus software CD too! (came with my Discman). Ended up redeeming the code (it was for just one song at the time) for "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry.
i love the solid half-second every time you start playing the drums that i forget it's actually you on the drums and think we're just getting an energetic interlude before something abysmal happens
I like how he kept the crumbs under the protective plastic of the CD drive from the previous episode when he used it. I’m simultaneously impressed by your dedication and disgusted. Never change, Dank!
I had the black/grey bean and I freaking loved that thing. The headphones were actually pretty solid. As for the usb, I actually truly never had an issue with mine. The software was a pain in the butt, however, there was an easier workaround than Apple for sure to download pirated files.
I liked that Sony did that. It always felt more grown-up or refined than some of the weird names other companies used. Not much different than how many luxury automakers don't use 'names' for their models. Probably why Sony did it.
The names of planets are like your address, the astronomers sectors the pictures that telescopes take, and then separate star system with different sets of numbers and letters, and then use - plus a letter to represent the location of the planets in that star system.
That conflict of being a music publisher and wanting to lock everything down really ruined the potential of making a properly good product. Were it not for that, I feel like Sony had the capability of making something that was actually better than any iPod.
I still shudder thinking back to "MagicGate" and the length Sony went trying to make their memory stick the next flash storage after CF. Hint: They were the only ones using it, and the card from your sony camera only worked in sony cameras and nothing else
My old Walkman I had was that, you could just drag and drop music onto it, and it was an awesome little player, like tiny, really thin, the only drawback was it was 8Gb and you couldn't put an SD card in it. But actually a decent player audio quality wise, and it had a 5 band EQ which was nice

The funny part is that they actually still make an "evolved" version of those earbuds (although they have smaller stems), they are called the Sony MDR-E9LP and judging from how you described the ones included here they should be basically the same considering they seem to have the same driver diffusers, have the same specifications and they are quite midsy just like you described these. Interestingly it also seems to be the only pair of wired earphones (So, not IEMs) Sony still sells today.
@@eyupoksuz6901 Those were the earbuds of my childhood pretty much, I wouldn't say I loved them even at the time since they are definitely in the "midsy" category.
I swear the original PSP ones were similar, if not the same (but branded for the PSP), and I also swear they were better then that era Apple buds. I'm guessing they're just a generic Sony parts bin thing.
I used to watch Mr.Bean's Holiday on my Sony PSP a lot back in 2009. So yeah, seeing Sony AND bean in the thumbnail kinda unlocks a fond chuckle worthy memory in my head there a bit.
We wait for new dank pods every week. My kid and I love your enthusiasm. You should totally release your phrases as cellphone tones!

6:10 Hey man the Eee PC was really meant as a bottom of the barrel total bargain bin netbook of a laptop, just because it was made in 2007 doesn't mean it's any faster than the average desktop from 1997. Windows is only running Scandisk because it was shut down improperly, you probably held the power button or something last time and it's just making sure it hasn't lost any data. It keeps complaining about your resolution because it's set super low and Windows is pretty sure that is useless... Windows XP is perfectly safe to put on the internet. Where you start getting into trouble is if you have personal information on it.
SonicStage needs an internet connection in order to access the Gracenote database - it also converts the files into a format that is readable by Sony - but are incomprehensible gibberish - hexadecimal numbers, rather than names! My first ever MP3 player was a Sony - pretty good tech, I thought, at the time - you can even play the music files in SonicStage and create playlists!
3:49 Fun fact: Sony also placed rootkits into millions of music cds published under their BMG label to prevent people from ripping mp3 files off of the discs. This was back in the early 2000s when people were using Napster and Kazaa to share music.
@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting you could when these were new too. The N96 screens are also all dim today. I’d be surprised if the New Switch doesn’t go the same way in 15 years.
Pro tip, don't use flat blades scissors for cutting those packages. They dull quickly and don't cut very well on anything but fabric. Get EMT scissors. They also call them trauma shears or "tough cuts." They're literally like 2 dollars at some places, they're stainless steel, serrated, and they'll cut anything. There's a reason people call them "tough cuts." I use them at work to cut as low as 6 gauge stranded wire daily, never sharpened mine. I'm am electrical systems tech so I cut a LOT of wire. Use them to cut open packages all the time and they make quick and easy work thanks to the serrations dig into the plastic.
I'd just like to thank this channel for proving that Craig is a real company and not a fever dream misrememberance from when I used to sell electronics at Office Depot.
I had an eee PC a little newer than that one and I loved it. When netbooks became popular (and most importantly, affordable) I BEGGED my parents for one all year and thought I'd never ever get one. Then on Christmas they pulled the nesting dolls box trick on me with like eight boxes until I got to the tiny laptop box. Great memory.
ATRAC3 was Sony's own codec used for a short time, it never took off, and it's so obscure it can be used by just *one* 3rd party program afaik. and i checked because the PSP uses it in its games' preview jingles. making one was a pain.
WHY does Sony insist on naming all their stuff like it’s Armored Core parts.
Now that's a classic game :) I never played it myself but enjoyed watching my siblings have at it.

I was using them for 4 years... I loved them, then they died.
@@eyupoksuz6901 Those were the earbuds of my childhood pretty much, I wouldn't say I loved them even at the time since they are definitely in the "midsy" category.
Love how the package says "Fashion Earbuds" lmao
I swear the original PSP ones were similar, if not the same (but branded for the PSP), and I also swear they were better then that era Apple buds. I'm guessing they're just a generic Sony parts bin thing.

I used to watch Mr.Bean's Holiday on my Sony PSP a lot back in 2009. So yeah, seeing Sony AND bean in the thumbnail kinda unlocks a fond chuckle worthy memory in my head there a bit.
huh
Yoooo the PSP. Weirdly, the only movies i had on that were Labyrinth and Anaconda.
We wait for new dank pods every week. My kid and I love your enthusiasm. You should totally release your phrases as cellphone tones! I want “I found it at cashies” or “oh my pkcell” I’d pay for those!! Also you should be on cameo because as a patreon my son would love a birthday message, pretty please?! ❤️ thank you for being awesome.
Thats so cute
I think you can just clip them and extract as audio (provided you can find the videos where they're from)

6:10 Hey man the Eee PC was really meant as a bottom of the barrel total bargain bin netbook of a laptop, just because it was made in 2007 doesn't mean it's any faster than the average desktop from 1997.
Windows is only running Scandisk because it was shut down improperly, you probably held the power button or something last time and it's just making sure it hasn't lost any data.
It keeps complaining about your resolution because it's set super low and Windows is pretty sure that is useless...
Windows XP is perfectly safe to put on the internet. Where you start getting into trouble is if you have personal information on it.
Idk, windows, especially older windows is NOT safe on the web, also what are you gonna use Internet Explorer 5?

Once a bean, always a bean.
SonicStage needs an internet connection in order to access the Gracenote database - it also converts the files into a format that is readable by Sony - but are incomprehensible gibberish - hexadecimal numbers, rather than names! My first ever MP3 player was a Sony - pretty good tech, I thought, at the time - you can even play the music files in SonicStage and create playlists!
@@drekipookiebear lol stfu man’s is just explaining how to access the ancient nug maybe dank wanted to access it just let him explain it without hate
3:49 Fun fact: Sony also placed rootkits into millions of music cds published under their BMG label to prevent people from ripping mp3 files off of the discs. This was back in the early 2000s when people were using Napster and Kazaa to share music.
Now they include a free windows file with every torrent
but.... they BOUGHT it
"turns back to primordial ooze" is literally the best sentence ive ever heard

Pro tip, don't use flat blades scissors for cutting those packages. They dull quickly and don't cut very well on anything but fabric.
Get EMT scissors. They also call them trauma shears or "tough cuts." They're literally like 2 dollars at some places, they're stainless steel, serrated, and they'll cut anything. There's a reason people call them "tough cuts." I use them at work to cut as low as 6 gauge stranded wire daily, never sharpened mine. I'm am electrical systems tech so I cut a LOT of wire. Use them to cut open packages all the time and they make quick and easy work thanks to the serrations dig into the plastic.
I never thought I'd get jumpscared by a literal mp3 player

I had an eee PC a little newer than that one and I loved it. When netbooks became popular (and most importantly, affordable) I BEGGED my parents for one all year and thought I'd never ever get one. Then on Christmas they pulled the nesting dolls box trick on me with like eight boxes until I got to the tiny laptop box. Great memory.

ATRAC3 was Sony's own codec used for a short time, it never took off, and it's so obscure it can be used by just *one* 3rd party program afaik. and i checked because the PSP uses it in its games' preview jingles. making one was a pain.
The main use of ATRAC3 was MiniDisc

@@samuelg7673 Hell yeah! I’m still using my MiniDiscs to this day. Most underrated physical media format ever!
Well your definition of a short time is not the same as mine as ATRAC was used in MiniDiscs for 20 years.
@@danieldaniels7571 It isn't a requirement to be proficient with a spudger to replace the batteries in a MiniDisc either.
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a bean-shaped music player, I'd have two nickels, which isn't alot but it's weird it happened twice
