Having a charge-the-collection day. Every time I do this iPod I forget it's a HD based machine until partway through it fires up the drive with a noise that sounds like the ones that early morning huntsman spiders make when they click to each other on the walls.
@engagedpractx@NanoRaptor The male apparently “ticks” with its abdomen like a clock when it wants to mate with a female. In a quiet room it is audible.
@NanoRaptor I still have my iPod Color somewhere in the basement. That one taught me mad respect for the accelerometer-driven emergency-park feature of modern HDDs as I threw it half the length of a 2x2-lane crosswalk, it slid the last half, slammed into the sidewalk, and just picked back up playing when I retreived it.
@jason Apparently that's the sensible thing to do with LiIons. I like to pull them out, charge to 100% then run them for a bit like normal too. I'll probably take this iPod on a few walks over the next couple of days before putting it back on the shelf. Did my old iPad 2 and read a few things on it recently.
