    Hey! It's Amanda- Sorry about the lack of fun music! We have a very strict data wiping policy so we could only send things that we confirmed were wiped.

      @Leurak ปีที่แล้ว +269

      this type of cable can actually be dangerous when trying to connect two pcs together, especially when both are on unisolated power. connecting a nugget to a laptop with this should be fine.

    • @hammerth1421
      @hammerth1421 ปีที่แล้ว +176

      I was about to comment that. It technically isn't even a "USB cable" since a cable with the same connector on both sides is not compliant with the USB standards. It's okay for USB-C because it finally allows for power going in both directions and the devices negotiating voltages between each other so that neither one gets fried.

    I'd double check the Eee PC. There could be a possible chance of it still working. Sometimes when something takes too much power from a port on a mainboard, it will render a lot of things unusable. I had some external hard drive mounts that would sap a lot of power from my ports on my desktop, and all my peripherals would just quit working.

    The zen MP3 player was a flash to the past, I remember having one as a kid and that nugget was a beast, it survived every drop and the battery lasted for what felt like forever.

    I legit had thoughts about a modern flash-based cassette player recently, like if Spotify wanted to do some weird gimmick release along the lines of their Car Thing, they could release the Tape Thing that lets you load playlists from Spotify to the cassette. Can't wait to see a full video about that Duo Digisette.

    Those Philips GoGear MP3 players are damn near indestructible. I have a slightly different model and have been using it for 21 years now. It has literally been through hell and high water. The battery held a good charge up until it started ballooning in 2019 and after removing it the device still works great plugged into my car's USB port. The sheer resilience of those nuggets would give a Nokia 3310 a run for it's money.

    That Star Tac hit me in the feels. A guy I knew had one but it was way out of my budget back then. I think SanDisk is a good entry level nugget to start your MP3 life.

      My Dad had one - it was his second-ever cell phone after ditching the "bag" phone he bought in 1994-ish. The Star Tac was a durable little thing - his STILL holds a charge and works fine all these years later, even if it can't pick up modern cell signals.

      The Sandisk Sansa support RockBox and have pretty good audio output. Quality can surely compete with iPods. But they are small and the displays obviously.

    The Eee PC might not be dead. Try rebooting it without the Jukebox and see if you can get the mouse working. You might also need to use the power plug after all, so it doesn't pull too much load through the USB port. That can cause wonk on some older laptops.

      Pretty standard too for touchpads to connect to the mainboard using internal USB. So if one of the ports trips the OCP, likely all of them would go.
