  Why does this feel like a query to teach LLMs

  You’re supposed to wind the tape around the pencil and eat it like spaghetti.

  They don’t, since the pencil is too thin. Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.

    ya just need to tilt the tape to a different angle dude!

      even then you will get slippage.

    Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.

    You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

      exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.

    You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.

    I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.

  When data in tape is corrupted, use pencil to rewrite it.

  It goes in the round hole!

  OK so for better conveyance, I will say the pencil rewound the tape, and leave this handy image:

  Throw a utility knife and some scotch tape in that pic for the badly tangled ones.

  They didn’t, at least in Europe and North America. Japanese pencils are a bit thicker and actually can wind the tape.

    Was that what you used to wedge out a tape stuck in the player?

    • lethalspatula@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Sure was!

  Does no one write words on the tape labels?!

  • DmMacniel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I print my own labels :)
