Wow, what a week huh?
I have an old, inactive Instagram account that I occasionally get an email about when someone attempts to log into it.
I'm very curious to see if it ever generates any emails regarding age verification being necessary, given the account itself is currently 15 years old. 🙃
I was going to declare the Game Boy restoration finished, but I tried playing some stuff on it and the little red power LED next to the screen is just way too piercing.
I might hunt around and swap it out for a more mild colour, orange maybe, or just slap a resistor in there to dim it.
Mike, why did you want an old school cassette player that records and has line-in jacks and stuff anyway?

The new tape deck will record a tape direct to an MP3 file on a USB drive really easily. It only seems capable of creating mono audio files, but that won't be an issue for this purpose.
Happy to report that my new vacuum sucks. It retrieved about half a cat (by volume) from the rugs in the lounge room.
My god Meech. Dude. Seriously. You didn't even spend that much time indoors until about a year ago.
