I found this weird device where I'm staying with family, it still worked after changing the batteries so now my voice is in a micro cassette
@joel@polymaths.social weird device?! 😵
well... now I feel old!
(It is called a Dictaphone by the way 🙂)
@paul @joel@polymaths.social I see it's a two speed, so in case you haven't already tried: you can record on the slow speed then switch to fast to playback, or the other way around - you pick! Either way it's fun
Every yuppie asshole on the planet had one of those in 1987. Just in case they had a thought that was too valuable to let escape.
@Uair the tape actually had some audio on it, from some random drunkards on some party. I didn't get much of it lol
@joel I keep this in my desk drawer all the time just in case. (Which is weird bc I took about five recorders to the recyclers a few years ago).
@njms it's quite neat to find these single purpose devices, it was kinda awesome to hear that tape rewind or fast forwarding, spinning around and such
