It’s coming, if phones are any indication. And yeah I need an adapter, it doesn’t dangle like a dongle, it’s a big hole with a small pole on the other end which is much better, afaik there has never been a computer ever that had a 1/4" instrument cable port but most audio equipment does, since I have both it makes sense to have it, whereas “they took away the 3.5 so now I have to go 1/4”>3.5mm>USBC because they also don’t make a 1/4th>USBC anywhere on earth" does not make sense unless you’re trying to sell me something.

Shocker that specialized equipment requires a specialized cable, I know, but my point is 3.5mm is absolutely not specialized hardware, it is still one of the most common connectors on earth, and as such it should still be supported.

If you’re not buttering those too you’re doing it wrong, but also they fill those with sugar before you get them so I don’t need to put more on. They’re basically cupcakes without frosting.

Honestly digitizing VHS isn’t the easiest, I just torrented copies for non-vcr use lol. I still enjoy the VCR though, something about just popping the movie in instead of navigating through directories on an external drive just hits different.

Also just tbf, you’d still have to carry the expansion cartridge to swap them, but they’re easy to carry in a laptop bag, and it’s still a much more elegant solution to use than floppy dongles everywhere like I’m running firefox on a plate of spaghetti. I still think it’s the absolute best solution to our current port problem, even with still carrying the cartridges (which feels like a GBC and hits the nostalgia too, so honestly I like having to carry them lol).

I like em, not british.

Definitely gotta butter (or jam) them, I use butter and everything bagel seasoning (post-toast) on the regulars and butter and brown sugar on the blueberry ones (pre-toast, get it slightly caramelized and perfect, leave some salted butter on the counter so it spreads without heat.) But I mean c’mon what are you out here just eating dry ass plain toast or bagels? You always have to butter, jam, cream cheese, sandwichitize, etc, (for store bought anyway, fresh baked is another animal entirely)!

If I have to buy a new thing (assuming same quality) I’d go with USBC for sure, I just don’t like buying new things unless I have to.

But, then again, I’m about to pop in Rodan on VHS and watch it on an LCD tv from 2007, and then maybe play some SMB2 on the NES, so I have a huge tolerance for older stuff.

A fan of buying new things, eh? I’m on the “keep it until it catches fire” side myself. Why buy new USBC headphones when my 20yo 1/4th>3.5mm Sennheiser HD555s work just fine for both my PC and my receiver connected to the turntable? The only reason is “because companies have decided to phase it out so I have to buy new headphones.”

Well, jokes on them, needed a new laptop anyway and Framework has hot-swappable ports including a 3.5mm in addition to being highly fixable, so guess who got the sale over the “nooo you must have MY ports and buy a new one for a busted hinge” companies.
