Both Zunes

2019-10-02 21:48:32 UTC  

Zune HD > Zune Gen 2 > Zune Big ol brown brick

2019-10-02 21:50:45 UTC  

I had a Zune 4 and it was fuckin' choice

2019-10-02 22:08:05 UTC  

I still have my HD

2019-10-02 22:08:19 UTC  

Still works

2019-10-02 22:08:45 UTC  

Saved all the rare apps and games to it

2019-10-02 22:10:32 UTC  

rare apps?

2019-10-02 22:16:15 UTC  

Yeah after a while Microsoft shuttered their Zune store/marketplace

2019-10-02 22:16:27 UTC  

Taking down the Zune apps with it

2019-10-02 22:16:56 UTC  

There was a Audiosurf made exclusively for the Zune HD

2019-10-02 22:18:17 UTC  

oh, neat

2019-10-02 22:19:24 UTC  

That scroll pad was so nice

2019-10-02 22:19:27 UTC  

the UI was choice

2019-10-02 22:21:26 UTC  

It's almost a shame modern cellphones made having a dedicated MP3 player obsolete

2019-10-02 22:26:54 UTC  

Yeah I never got to try a Gen 2

2019-10-02 22:27:37 UTC  

HD is neat for its OLED screen

2019-10-02 22:49:18 UTC

2019-10-02 22:54:44 UTC  

Old hardware is expensive, go figure

2019-10-03 00:42:42 UTC  

@Windatica it's pretty ok. It using the polaris architechture which is much more power efficient.

2019-10-03 00:43:15 UTC

2019-10-03 08:39:33 UTC  

I've seen the classic Zune brick for 70-80 bucks

2019-10-03 08:40:05 UTC

2019-10-03 08:40:12 UTC

2019-10-03 08:40:15 UTC

2019-10-03 08:42:04 UTC

2019-10-03 09:07:49 UTC  

Yup

2019-10-03 11:41:46 UTC  

ahh yes the good old "aaa lets point at fingers as someone is trying to kill linux instead finding/designing superior alternatives" ..imho those(mentioned (secureboot,hdcp,etc) features are implemented to survive and adapt for non-technical users

2019-10-03 11:42:07 UTC  

try saying to person who is searching to try linux "ohh you need to buy motherboard what does not have secureboot"

2019-10-03 11:42:09 UTC  

"oh you cant watch most of these films due linux" "oh and btw you cant connect to some sites at all due they contain DRM"

2019-10-03 11:44:15 UTC  

for linux its adapt or die specialy now that microsoft is taking their moves into linux with embrace, extend, and extinguish tactics again
