Like when the guidance lady interrupts the beat drop to tell me to turn left 😡😡

[–] betternotbigger@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone should try disabling ALL notifications and then working their way up to understand which alerts are worth getting interrupted for. Everything you do on your phone ends up becoming more intentional and your battery life goes up too because your screen isn't constantly getting turned on from the barrage of notifications. To date, I only have 1 notification turned on and it's when my significant other messages me.

My phone has been on DnD for over a year now. I have a (cheap) smart watch which vibrates on certain alerts like message, calendar, and phone and I can quickly glance and see that it's something I don't care about. I also ignore the calls from numbers not in my contacts if I notice them. In the time I've been doing this I don't think a single person has left a message on my voicemail - validating my actions.

It's so nice to feel like tech isn't running your life anymore. If I'm in an app doing something, it's because I made the choice to do it. I still gotta work on that doom scrolling tho, YouTube being the biggest culprit. I think I might try setting some time limits.

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you can do that with Do Not Disturb on Android?

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, pretty easy solution.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Simple fix, just don't have any friends like me! 😉

The fact that you have to set iPhones to only vibrate and Androids to "do not disturb" to achieve uninterrupted audio playback, is why aliens make a detour around earth.

This is one of many reasons why I root my phone and make sure that Do Not Disturb mode actually does what it says on the tin.

That said, I still keep my old 1st Gen iPhone around because it's now just a more expensive iPod Touch and works great for playing music.

[–] Sallp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just bought a audio player, mostly because I don't have good internet at my house and files was taking up a lot of space. Plus it has Bluetooth transmit and receive.

[–] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I wanna know how you got 16k songs on a second gen nano

[–] kadu@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Easy! Encode your songs as crispy 8 Kbps MP3 files

[–] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Iflash.xyz have everything you need for iPod classics and iPod minis, the mini is just my fav, I had one when I was a kid and now I have another (well, 3) now I'm in my 30s

[–] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Now this is cool, thank you for sharing

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

You can upgrade them with flash storage pretty easily.

[–] lexd0g@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

that's a mini, they use tiny microdrives inside, they're tiny HDDs in the form factor of a compactflash card, you can very easily replace them with a compactflash to SD adapter and put a shit ton of storage in them

[–] QuikxSpec@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

eBay. Lots of people putting high stage flash drives in old iPod models. 128gb and up

[–] lexd0g@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

just do it yourself, it's super easy, only takes a cheap adapter you can get on ebay or from iflash and like 15 minutes of time, i used this guide to put a spare 32gb in a mini i bought and it was reaaaaally easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GY761U4vik

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I remember the first time I saw an iPod. I really did think technology was over.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, big ol' nostalgia hit right there.

[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are those kz's you got there

[–] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, yea they are!

[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's awesome man, I love kz iems

[–] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

These are my first pair. I only got them a couple of weeks ago, purely to be used with my iPod.

It's insane how good they are for the price, even more so when you compare them to wireless buds that cost £150

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

peak ipod would look like this but able to search for podcasts and make playlsts of podcasts

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

iPod choice, 100. Music choice... I don't know... 20?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I preferred my Creative Zen Touch.

[–] Kata1yst@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Loved my Zen Micro so much. Was a sad day when it finally died, but then I got a Zune, which was incredibly excellent.

[–] Midnight_Fox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

When life was simpler!

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I still have my Sansa Clip+. I should go see if it still works. I remember I rooted that thing too lol.

[–] Nintendo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I miss the brick game and music quiz game

anyone else remember Vortex?

[–] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Music quiz with 16k songs is a real test.

[–] winston@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I remember downloading this song (it was a bonus track on certain versions of the album) and it was called "Expert Knowledge" and I always thought that was a better title.
