    I'm low-key disappointed this article didn't end like the one from the good old Uncyclopedia.

    The author described in details how to attach a 500GB IDE drive to an original ipod, with all the required schematics, process to open the device, where to solder, etc, everything. It was the first article I ever read on Uncyclopedia, so I wasn't expecting the kicker: a photo of the modded ipod, hold together with elastic bands and a graph comparing playing time: from 8 hours to 12 seconds, or something like that. Boy, that was a good laugh.

    Edit: I can&#x27;t open the original article, but it seems it was an iPod nano and a 200GB hard drive: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uncyclopedia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;IPod_Nano_200gb_Instructions" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uncyclopedia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;IPod_Nano_200gb_Instructions.
