I'm disappointed that there exist plenty of small devices that take an SD card and play videos off it, none of them seem to be themed like a VCR.

@artandtechnic eww. mini/micro HDMI is a terrible idea

[artandtechnic@digipres.club]

@foone Yep. I’ve been stuck with it ever since I found that out

[foone@digipres.club]

a tiny toploading VCR that takes microSD cards would be awesome

[foone@digipres.club]

and as @scottmichaud pointed out, it definitely needs to have a blinking 12:00

@[email protected] Can it somehow force you to rewind your SD cards?

@neia that'd be neat. like, have it write a hidden file that indicates where each file was last viewed to, and it'll resume right from there.

@foone @neia better - have that data stored within the box itself so you can't just delete a file to get around rewinding. be truly evil with it.

@NanoRaptor photoshopped it together:

@pendell @neia but how will I find a hard drive small enough to store that data?

[ann3nova@corteximplant.com]

@foone ...which of those would you recommend?

I've been mulling getting something like that with composite/component output for my little PVM.

[foone@digipres.club]

@ann3nova none of the ones I've tried. There's a bunch, they all cost the same, and they're all bare-minimum quality in my experience.
Sorry!
