Tape cassette recorders are compatible with literally every. Single. Thing. I'm out here living in 2095.

Things you can record (audio only), simply by lying to your computer, telling it that the tape recorder is actually a set of headphones:

<List begins> Discord call, podcast, documentary, radio and internet radio, music from any source without having to download it all, music you make on virtual pianos/etc, noteworthy news items (fireside esque, interviews, huge events), stand-up comedy, rented or borrowed media, any other sound your pc can produce <list ends>

And with a VCR you could do all of this and have the visuals as well... but an audio cassette recorder is a good place to start, since they're small and simple. I would not recommend a boombox, because those are large and nowadays all very, very bad quality.

Now, you may be saying "how is any of this helpful, I want a digital file..." here's the fucking magic. You go into Audacity (free program), and lie to it that the tape recorder is really a microphone. Then you hit record on Audacity, and hit play on the tape, and let it play at regular speed. Trim and export the digital file, and you're doing gangbusters. You're cooking with gas. You're thinking with portals. You've won the internet.

Congratulations, you can now "pirate"* anything you want, and literally no one can catch you, because you're not downloading in the traditional sense. You're streaming to an external device, and that device is recording what it receives. It's exactly like taping a live TV show to a VHS. This is a very low-key and non-strenuous task for the computer, since your tape recorder does all the work.

*Is this piracy? No. Well- it's time-shifting <link embedded>. Sort of. Tell it to my Steely-Dan albums. Tell it to my The Sims: Hot Date VG Soundtrack album.

Majungasaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil - Cretaceous, Madagascar | Genuine + COA

Authentic Majungasaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil – Cretaceous, Maevarano Formation

This is a genuine Majungasaurus dinosaur tooth fossil, carefully excavated from the Maevarano Formation, a renowned Cretaceous fossil site near Berivotra Village, Madagascar. Dating back approximately 70–66 million years, this remarkable fossil belonged to one of the most fearsome theropod dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous period.

Majungasaurus was a dominant apex predator of its time, characterized by its robust skull, short snout, and serrated teeth designed for slicing through flesh. As a member of the Abelisauridae family, Majungasaurus was a distant relative of South American carnivores like Carnotaurus. Fossilized teeth from this dinosaur provide valuable insights into its feeding habits and role in the ancient ecosystems of Madagascar.
