Only a couple of the final pod nanos had built-in radio, the other iPods all required additional hardware to be plugged in. I found that the hard way with an iPod classic… Even my shitty flip phone had built-in radio with an earpiece connected lol.

“several hours”
That’s the treshold for you to get a 1st degree burn. No, it’s not instantaneous at that temperature, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn’t get there at all.
I just want to point out that 50,000k = 50,000000.
Yeah, I don’t doubt it, I was just trying to be (overly) conservative to show how pedaling up to and keeping 50kph is far from being reachable by the average cyclist.
Not only because of the bike, but you also need a well maintained strech of asphalt to reach and maintain that speed.
In my head I thought I can easily get to 60kph with the sprint output I do with my gravel bike if I had a carbon road bike, but I didn’t want to say something silly. Especially because I’d still be dealig with the same terrible infrastructure and wind around here.
The other point was that once you get in the 40kphs it starts to get scary, but that’s down to where you are and the conditions. So it’s not like the average bro with flipflops and front basket does it on the daily.
your average cyclist can sprint to over 30 mph without much trouble.
I don’t believe that. That’s 50kph!! Your average cyclist will be pedaling 12 to 15 mph (20 to 25 kph) and at that point you’ll be sweating, it’s not “leisure” speed. That would be up to 9mph/15kph.
You are not reaching 30mph unless you are fully sprinting on a descent with a gravel bike (maybe a mountain bike if it’s a long, long, stretch) or have a road bicycle on a flat/slight slope and you are full sending it (even on a flat road I’m assuming, I’ve never ridden one). Not to mention these people will be using protective gear.
I have a gravel bicycle and on a flat road I can get up to 23mph (37 kph) with me going full beans (occasionally fighting the wind). For reference, I’ve only reached 30mph a couple times in 1,100km and it’s been only on a 3km long downward stretch of road. Also because there’s no point to waste that energy when you are transversing double digits distances, and it gets really scary to be at those speeds anyways.
You certainly cannot get those speeds on a city bike or mountain bike on flat asphalt since they are not as aerodynamic, and often more heavier.
Not to mention that they did start with the narrative that they start enforcing this on a certain date, but it took me 2 months over that to receive the warning/being locked out. I remember seeing people from Canada (one of the countries in the first wave) that still had not been forced off 4 months into the date they had set.
They appear to be taking it slow (not booting off everyone at the same time) to build this narrative that it’s working fantastically so to not get a massive drop off in users (stock price drop) and waiting out for their competition to also move forward with this change. All of this while also adding more markets, dropping the prices in others and removing the cheaper plans.
Not OP, but you can skim a news article in 10/20 seconds.
Why should people watch videos that take 10x more time and, more often than not, don’t offer anything besides narration since most just use recycled footage anyways?
You’ve gotta read anyways what he says since we don’t understand Russian, but now we don’t have as much control over the content.
Accessibility aside, I really dislike the video-centric internet.
I’m seriously questioning if you’re a bot because you’re throwing keywords and expressions you do not understand.
You’re complaining of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) articles. This is clearly not that.
Those pages ask the same question multiple times even in organic forms of how you randomly type it into a search engine. Just close any site that starts wit something like: “Don’t you hate it when your remote doesn’t work? If you press the button on your clicker and nothing happens, you need to open it and repair the buttons. If you need to fix your remote, start off by checking the batteries…”
Journalism should not be “here’s all the info in one paragraph” and be gone. However, a good lead should reply to 5 questions: What? Who? How? Where? When?
But this is not a news piece, this is a fluff column about old tech. You can just hit Wikipedia for easy-to-read digested info (I do that frequently).
For all the shit ways journalism has gone to, and the ocasional misteps The Verge has done (their pc building tutorial, go watch it for a giggle) this actually a cool column.
Last I read they are also sticking it to Spez by continuing to report on the shit Reddit has been doing.
Long-form journalism predates google by a few centuries.
Out of the 15 paragraphs, it says it uses sound in the 3rd and explains the mechanism in the 4th.
I agree that they should’ve put it in the title or the lead, but this wasn’t a news pice, it’s a monthly column focused on analog buttons. The first 2 paragraphs rightfully contextualise the hardware to an era most of us don’t know much.
All regulation is written in blood. If there was no regulation, everyone would be cutting corners and we’d get daily titan submersible-like situations.
Do you want a piece of suspension up your ass because a cab driver hit a road bump too hard?
Do you want your legs amputated? Because we can make bumpers go lower and more pointy to improve fuel efficiency.
If manufacturers could, they’d drop the catalytic converter and we’d be back to seeing/breathing cars spewing thick black smoke.
All that and they would still charge you the same as now.
