I love fixing up classic iPods, and as much as I enjoy it, any mention of it comes with "but why?", then the person asking refuses to understand why I still like using iPods even in this time of streaming music.

No you don't.

I always struggled to remember the words to this one...

An absolute banger, this.

Came around the same time as Rednex version of Cotton Eyed Joe, plus another track I don't remember the name of which also had a banjo/bluegrass vibe to it. It was a wild time to be a pop fan.

I drive a Mini. The SUV infiltration in this country is making night driving a miserable experience for me.

I've taken to muttering "There goes the Vroom Vroom Man in his vroom vroom" every time one of these pricks rumbles by. It solves nothing, but makes me laugh.

Forbidden snacks.

Meanwhile, the UK this summer would be a solid dark blue.

As others have said, there's always an adjustment period, and before you know it you'll be doing it without even thinking about it.

When I started at my current workplace five years ago, I was out of shape after spending almost ten years either at uni, or in a succession of office jobs. So going back on my tools as a welder was a massive shock that I wasn't really expecting. But suddenly, six months or so in, I realised that I was finding the work much less physically demanding, which felt really gratifying. I wasn't fit by any means (I never have been), but fit enough to do the work.

Then, 18 months ago I got promoted to a desk job, and I'm fat as shit again. I'd be fucked after a day back on my tools.

I'm quite good at getting Macs to do the stuff I need them to. The vast majority of people alive right now will have never touched one for a number of reasons, so I guess I'm above average at it. I can easily patch old ones with Opencore these days.

I know more about radio and podcast production than the average person, given that I have a degree in it. Not that I was ever successful in that field, but I know how to do it to a high standard.

I'm also really good at guessing the year when radio shows do a guess the year competition. I listened to a lot of pop radio from about 1985 to 2010, so can usually place myself to when a song was popular.

Bold of you to assume.

"Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark."

I disagree. Linus shooting from the hip and making himself look an even bigger ass is incredibly entertaining.

Nice.

Perhaps, but I see it as indicative of the problem in general. A slapdash attitude where they don't pause for a second to consider what they're actually doing, which, you'd think they might try and do under a 20 minute video where they grovel and scrape and beg forgiveness.

Hold up...LMG has an OF? Why? Is Linus getting his dick out to show the size of their fucking screwdriver?

Big shout out to them leaving the links to LTT merch in the description. Venal fucks.

It's not just "YouTuber drama" though; LTT have positioned themselves as The Grand Knowledge on all things tech, so a good number of people turn to them for recommendations. And their recommendations are questionable.

it’s a tragedy of the commons.

A gentle heads up that the guy who coined that term was a huge piece of shit, and was almost certainly wrong.

"Flushable wipes"

I'm at an age where moist arse wipes are a godsend, and I stubbornly cling to the lie that they're flushable and fine.
