2 days agoAt Uni. I’d bought a 64MB MP3 USB player which replaced my mini disc player that got stolen. When buying I hadn’t realised how useful it would be for transfering uni work. Plus the uni had a fast connection so we could torrent MP3s real quickly (before they finally woke up and properly locked their machines and network down).
This was the fellow!
Wanted to repurpose an old Surface Pro as a music station in my shed (think tech moan vibes). Basically a nice touch interface to access my NAS where I’ve ripped my CD collection, with an slim external dvd-writer for actual CDs and I also planned to use it for Spotify.
Spent many hours looking at different distros, but getting the touchscreen, Bluetooth and drivers working was not easy. In the end I reverted to windows 11 with de-bloat, and it works great.
