remember this?
>>53911398
Is it a bondage tape kind of storage ?
hell yeah, holding your boombox up to the TV while MTV was on was the 80's equivalent of Youtube rips.
>>53911410
it was used to play music
>>53911398
looks like some sort of storage device...how many gigabytes can it hold?
>>53911398
Yeah. I don't know what to do with these things anymore.
>>53911398
>do you remember this
>posts novelty iPhone case
This is getting out of hand.
Yes
I use them for storage of audio, mostly music, they work great for listening to "eurobeat" in my "automobile"
Why did you 3D print the save icon OP?
>>53911444
Depends on the length of the tape. Slowest fucking way to load and save data. So happy when floppies came out.
>>53911444
Theorically up to 154 Tb.
I kid you not.

How could you fuck this up.
Fast-forwarding and rewinding was hell.
Wind up listening to songs you don't like or got sick of just to avoid spending half your time winding.
Inevitable your cassette player would get shitty and eat the tape and you'd have to fix it with scotch tape and have that violent jump from Van Halen to the Beastie Boys while you're listening.
Funny how all that recording everything to tapes wasn't "hurting the music industry" back then.
>>53911398
What is this, how do you turn it on??
>>53911398
That thing looks familiar. Honestly what is it?
Yeah, I have a fine collection of Vaporwave stored on those bad boys.
I still have a couple of old and rave tapes from the early 90s kicking about somewhere.
>>53911398
>remember this hurr Durr look how old I am
Shit, I don't understand how someone can be so retarded, even 10 yo would remember this and know what is it.
>>53912563
So what is it?
>>53912572
It's a magnetic tape cartridge, you can store analog music or binary data on it, the latter is very inefficient, the former too but it comes with some benefits like easy overwriting and adding effects directly on the tape.
>>53912563
Your stupid slut mom uses it to satisfy herself, that's what it is.
>>53912572
You kind bind your partnerr forr sex purpose with i
>>53912605
Sounds really retro, is this from the 19th century?
>>53912605
You can store music and data on it at the same time. They were not very popular in the US for some reason.
>>53912678
I'm only 19 and I still had thoses as a kid.
But tech is moving so fast people are already trying to eliminate CDs.
LOL WTF IS THAT THING GRANDPA XDDDDDD
>>53912682
Until floppy drives got somewhat affordable, cassettes were the standard consumer storage medium.
>>53913242
Both the original Apple ][ and the original IBM PC came with cassette drives. The floppies for the PC were an option (like color and/or graphics) and floppies didn't arrive for the Apple ][ until 1979.

Looks like someone paid too much at Radio Shack.
>>53911599
Those erasers were the goat
>>53911398
I recognize that thing!

>How could you fuck this up.
I'm not him, but in GTA: Vice City the save icon was a tape cassette.
