The other day while starting pack we came across my old iPod mini, with the blue aluminum shell. Guess who's getting a flash drive and new firmware!?

Arm the nugget!

I have one almost exactly like that (different brand, but looks exactly the same besides that). Would anyone know how to recover data from it (some text files, and potentially some recordings made with the built-in microphone)? Whenever I plug it into a computer the loading screen comes up on the player but nothing happens (computer can't mount it), and turning it on also just gets me to the loading screen where it stays without moving forward.

My favorite thing to download from Limewire was Limewire Pro.

heading out after school to the internet café to play Counter Strike with your friends near the mall.

I'd download files that were called like cool.house.music2003.mp3. Found some legitimately good tracks that I could never identify that way.

ah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists' names to songs so you'd accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit

shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler

LimeWire was terrible. Quickly switched to Soulseek and have been using it ever since. Actually Nicotine+, but that's besides the point.

Kazaa was my go-to back in the day.

I was old enough to have used Napster before it was terrible.

Ditto. You could find some weird stuff on there. I have a whole 4GB external SCSI drive sitting somewhere with a bunch of weird demos or bootlegs that I haven't been able to find since because they were tagged by someone on acid
