The freedom to carry your DRM free music tapes around with you and easily lend them to your friends is sadly not in my pocket.
☠️ Yo ho, yo ho…
Buy DRM free music instead of streaming it.
Not all the artists provide it. At least through legal methods.
That’s their loss
Not if they use FLAC.
That’s why I like cargo pants. Carrying all this antiquated technology around would be hard as fuck otherwise.
I know this is a shitpost, but a lot of those things in the picture do the same thing etc: The boombox, the walkman, the CD player
Have that stuff looks like duplicatous audio reproduction technology and what’s in my pocket doesn’t sound nearly as good as that boom box likely does.
Also that thing in the right looks maybe like a radio and there are streaming emulators, but still no actual radios in most of our pockets unfortunately.
I had an Nokia, my last “featurephone” before I got my first smartphone, which actually had an FM tuner built-in. It used the headphone wire as an antenna as far as I recall. Quite neat, not that I ever really used it, but it was perfectly serviceable. And a great way of having music on the go in the days before streaming music was widely available.
Some androids have fm radios and it uses the headphone cable as an antenna.
I had a Motorola that did it and I think my workphone has it too.
Pretty sure 3 sets of headphones aren’t in my pocket
Not the printer part of the old word processor/electric typewriter (not sure which it is.)
Sometimes I wonder, are we truly better off? Yes, it’s really cool that I have one device that does it all; but am I really happier? Is my life really any better because of it?
