    Why did I just read an article about using an iPod that was clearly written by someone born in the early-mid 2000s? I know the original ipod was fun. I was there, gandalf

      So we can laugh at the fact that they can’t find a simple 1394 to USB cable and instead rely on daisy chaining a hundred dollars worth of apple products to make it work…

      Holy shit.

          Hahaha - no, that’s just the little clippy bit at the end of the cable. The cable’s extra.

        I didn’t buy those adapters, I just used a computer that had a FireWire 400 port. I haven’t found any evidence of those direct USB cables working with old iPods.
