I don’t have a clue either. Would not even know how to start or what to even buy.
So a massive well done @KajiKita to you.

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds and @beanielou 😊 Maybe I’m not as ignorant / useless / behind the times as I thought … 😉

Another one that wouldn't have a clue ! Lol, well done, that sounds like it will work well. Although I dont mind the hc programs. Or last of the summer wine as we call them - I'm sure one day they'll all get in a bathtub and career down a slope 😆 🤣

I bought an iPod. When they were new-ish, after the initial rush to get them when they dropped a little in price. And I didn't know how to use it. It sat in the box unused for ages, my DS1 put some music on for me and showed me how to use it. I still couldn't figure it out and put It back in the box 🙈 You're not alone with being a bit behind with the tech. 🙈🤣

I wouldn’t have a clue either. I used a laptop for work but only because we had been trained in how to use it 🫣🤣 I am a bit useless with technology. Just use my phone now but often have to ask my DS or 21 yo nephew how to do things on it 🤣 Never used ear buds

confession time, I have ear buds. I bought them when asked to trial an app that required me to download the app and use it when riding so I needed the ear buds. The app I have FOC as a result of being in the trial test group - but - I never did figure out the ear buds.

we do have ipods. I love them. One for my music, one for mr d music, one of our overlap music, several more but... I can never work out what one is what, I have never and probably will never understand how music gets from a cd onto it - black magic i think 😀 - and I have no idea what's happening if it doesn't instantly work. Mr d does all that nonesence 🤣😂

Well, well, well … I am genuinely surprised but comforted by the fact so many others are in a similar place, tech wise as I am - thank you 🙏

Crazy hectic day but some progress made. I think everyone is looking forward to finally having a new GM and some clarity on a forward plan … Came home shattered though. Hoping to sleep a bit better tonight as it should be cooler.

Tried the barbecue sauce on tofu tonight and it worked pretty well. Actually hit my 30g of protein this evening without resorting to too much UPF (had a qu0rn burger alongside the tofu) 😊

The next lot of plastic boxes for my craft stuff arrived today. Undamaged! 😊👏 Made a start last night on packing stuff away but probably won’t do any more now until next weekend.

It’s getting dark so early now …! 😳 🕯️

Really really starting to get dark so early. Sadly.

I got a free ipod somewhere when I couldn't afford to buy one. Tried to set it up but it was impossible. There was a manual but it was so badly written that in the end I decided it had been written in German and translated into English by someone from China. Things like "if friend trusted, lend but not with code" which I assumed was advice about security but nothing so straightforward as to how to work the device.

As for other tech, I've been known to walk into places and ask if they have someone who knows about the kit but is old enough to explain it to me in simple English. This was after trying to buy a phone years back and wanting one where I could listen to the radio on it while commuting but the 12 year old kept saying it's all on the apps but couldn't explain to me what that actually meant with the phone I was looking at. I've yet to try earbuds but have had some good bluetooth headphones in the past.
