the little remotes with like fours buttons that came with some college textbooks, so your professor could throw up a quiz on a the projector in a lecture with 200 people. I had a couple classes that used them in the mid-2000s. we called them clickers. I imagine they just use cell phones these days

It let me just play via folder/file. Also I was able to use the mp3 player like a storage device instead of using lovely sync software I am genuinely shocked they ported it to the Sansa Clip though. what the hell for? the thing has a half inch display

rockbox was good and breathed a lot of life into devices that otherwise would've been trashed though i'm sure the vast majority of them are, in fact, trashed now trash world

mystes posted:It's this a joke or is it really how it works now because it wouldn't surprise me. it just wouldn't surprise me. my partner's books are all hosted online and they disable copy paste by some insanely obfuscated javascript that I didn't feel like reversing because, ugh javascropt, so i wrote a lil thing that will screencapture each page as you visit it and run it through ocr. I have to do a bit of manual cleanup on it because of images, so i gotta figure out a way to automatically crop out images before attempting the ocr. universities are just cruelty factories meant toi extract money from students who have no say in the matter
