Yesterdays #hack get: “80s tech to work with 2025 tech”

“Hack, hack, watch Jack hack”

I’ve got a stack of CDs I usually listen to in the car. Car is permanently broken. The replacement car has no CD player (#tape or #8track 🤣) so I’ll have do some tinkering.

* First get out an unused #SONY #BoomBox to play #CD s. 📻

* Second locate a #bluetooth transmitter. Check bluetooth standard is BT 5.0 compatible.

* Third, find USB-A to USB-C power for the XMitter

* Four, power supply for boombox, C6.

* Five find a 3.5mm AUX cable to connect to XMitter.

* Six and dodgiest, PAIR bluetooth from boombox XMitter to car.

Now I can run the car audio without #streaming #shite music 🔊, not have to mess around with BS phone issues. ☺️

Then there's the slightly smaller version, but with the same big content.

I actually thought I ordered the CD when I ordered this from Relapse. I don't think I even knew there was a tape version at the time, and tapes weren't much on my mind. The CD was sold out at that point.
Funny thing is, I managed to do a similar thing with Masonna, buying the 3x7" believing I bought the CD of "Inner Mind Mystique".

Instead of buying 2 replacement washers for 4 euros, bought a pack of super glue and a role of silicone double sided tape at street market for 6 and fixed the leaky toilet water tank.

I have 9 more tiny super glue and almost all of the double sided tape left.
