Thanks! It really isn’t that hard to do. It’s important to just take your time, be patient and don’t use much force. There are really good tutorials out there you can watch before doing this, so you are prepared really good. And if there are questions, I know a good community here on Lemmy where you can ask ;)

Yep I saw that when it was disassembled. But as I use this one with my 2013 MacBook Pro, which has USB A Ports I think I’m good for now :)

Yes you are right. Designing a holder or cover for it to hold it in place wouldn’t be a problem for me once it’s soldered in (especially as there are two little screws holding a plastic surrounding of the 30pin I could repurpose). But I don’t have the tools and skill to solder something that small…

Thank you! Actually I didn’t know him, thanks for adding a link!

Thank you :)

Thanks! Actually I looked up if that’s possible somehow, but unfortunately it seems not. Or at least not in an easy way

Hmm… yes you are probably right. There are DBrand decals that look like the interior, but I know that’s just not the same…

You mean like those old GameBoys? The bottom side would look pretty cool, but i could imagine the back of the display would look a bit boring. But that sounds like an interesting project. Do such shells even exist?

Hmm… The zune never was a big thing in Europe, so I never actually saw one in real life. But as far as I know the memory-chip is soldered on, so I don’t think there is an easy way to upgrade. The battery is said to be replaceable though. I don’t mind what hardware one is using. It has to fit your needs, not everyone’s. For me the iPod was the one thing I always had with me since I got it in 2005(?), so for me there is a heavy nostalgic factor that got me to do this.

Thank you! Yes I too wanted to have my local music library on a portable device. That’s the reason I never threw away my iPod even though the HDD was defective since like 2010. I always thought :“one day…“ and now I am super happy :)

Yep you got it :) I wanted to spend as less money as possible. And even with the 6$ card the iPod feels way faster than before. I don’t need 1TB for my music library, so that setup was the best choice for me. I also had a 128GB microSD laying around, but 64GB is more than enough for me.

I use it with calibre. Works perfect. Even displays the book covers (no matter where you got them) as lock screen background of the kindle. Can absolutely recommend this!

Hopefully one day the will make a new Mini with a camera that sits flat in the back…

I have now made some good experiences with sites like rebuy.de. Refurbished devices with up to 3 years of warranty.

Hallo! Erstmal Respekt vor so einem großen Schritt, das erfordert Mut! Ich denke bzgl. Zug bist du mit der App der Deutschen Bahn (DB) ganz gut bedient. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel lassen sich mit Google Maps ganz gut einsehen. Für Wohnungen würde ich dir eBay Kleinanzeigen empfehlen, da finden sich viele Angebote.

Je nach Ort wo du gerade bist gibt es aber bestimmt auch noch bessere Geheimtipps. Dazu werden sich hier aber bestimmt auch noch einige User finden, die dir da genauere Tipps geben können.

Ansonsten scheinst du ja schonmal Deutsch zu sprechen, das erleichtert dir bestimmt einiges. Falls du auch gut englisch kannst hilft dir das auch, das sprechen hier eigentlich viele, vor allem jüngere Menschen.

You mean what URL I am using?

https://m.de.aliexpress.com

That one works for me (it’s the German site). It’s not pretty at all, but at least it avoids installing the app.

Oh I use plenty… dict.cc; TikTok; Astroprint; Octoprint and Printables; Xing; LinkedIn; eBay; Etsy; AliExpress; Idealo; Chefkoch; pkmn.help (very beautiful web app btw…); and so on. I got rid of any App I don’t trust and/or where the web app gets the job done.

Habe vor knapp 1,5 Jahren den Job gewechselt (verschiedene Gründe). Tätigkeiten sind so ziemlich die selben, aber von überhaupt kein HomeOffice zu ausschließlich HomeOffice ist schon sehr genial. Möchte das definitiv nicht mehr missen! Habe auch viele Kollegen/Freunde/Bekannte, deren Jobs Remote machbar wären, deren Firmen sich aber nach wie vor sträuben. Bei der letzten Firma, für die ich gearbeitet habe hieß des sogar mal ganz offen, dass man dann ja nicht kontrollieren kann was der Mitarbeiter den ganzen Tag so treibt. Meine neue Firma hat’s begriffen, die Leute sind entspannter und produktiver. Man braucht weniger Büros+Ausstattung und die Mitarbeiter freuen sich, dass sie sich ein Auto sparen können. Ist doch eine Win/Win Situation!

Hmm… If i am Reading this right, my problem could have been, that my iCloud mail wasn’t created more than 30days ago. I will definitely try that.

I just wonder why apple support didn’t came up with that…

I will update once I tried (iCloud email is currently about 6/7 days old, so I will have to wait a while)

Oh and Thanks for that suggestion!

BTW… If your Apple ID is linked to something other than an iCloud Mail keep in mind that you won’t be able to switch to an iCloud mail address as primary address for your Apple ID. I did all this transition last week and spoke to apple for like an hour. They told me there is no way to switch. So now my gmail is like the user name for my Apple ID, every mail that is sent to gmail now gets forwarded to an hide my mail email. The problem was, that „hide my mail“ mails get normally forwarded to your primary Apple ID Mail address, in my case the gmail address. So what I did now was creating an iCloud mail over my iPhone‘s iCloud settings and then went to iCloud.com on my browser, where you then are able to switch the „hide my mails“ recipient address to the just created iCloud mail. Pretty complicated solution, but the only way to at least kind of get rid of my gmail address…
