Something about inserting a floppy disk is pleasing to senses. It is just nostalgia? nostr:note1vl050xs8em9ptjmu5mtwackussa8a5se2m9rqmkr2t5qm68za72s8zztnk

The eject button was oddly satisfying.
physical touch adds to the affection of the product
the whole process makes it feel like you are part of the process
Right? Same with record players. You just don’t get that with a screen :(
exactly, all the physical buttons and the small sounds booting up etc, that got you giddy to start playing/listening/watching
imagine a nostr desktop client designed for old computers, only sold as limited edition and signed floppy disks
I found an older set of wired earbuds and they had a physics volume and mic toggle sliders and it just felt nice to move them around instead of picking up phone and tapping.
tactile touch goes unnoticed a lot
the ‘silent’ button for iPhone is still here for a reason
Ser you are too young for physical buttons and toggles
grew up watching VHS and listening to cassette tapes, that my parents recorded during the soviet radio shows

Gifs you can hear. 🙂
It's that final small push / feedback. The same with thing goes for pressing the button to remove the disk. Had lot's of fun timing that :D
How about an SSD enclosure that works the same way?
Recently got into LTOs for media backup… the joy of a tape being mounted is real
