minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•21 days agoWooo, look at hoity toity FancyPants over here with their screwdriver. All we could afford to fix our cassette tapes was a pencil. And a blunt pencil at that. And it was probably stolen from school!! Screwdrivers indeed!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•21 days agoThe screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape. When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

Don’t you use a flathead for that?
