Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sumi, if you can use the nano as a drive and copy the file over you can reimport it into iTunes--you just have to have the second machine authorised for the same account, I think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Paper shredders are tech, right?

I bought a Black & Decker Identity Theft Buster today. Brought it home, actually read the instructions, set it up, and started shredding. Fine.

I can't pull out the "pull out bin" to empty it. This is not a symptom listed under "Troubleshooting".

Customer service is closed until tomorrow so I thought I would try a Hail Mary in here. Anybody have any idea what stupid thing I have done and/or how I can fix it?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe it's a disposable shredder?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The upper photo seems to show a latch on the front, underneath the logo. Is the top supposed to tip back? Or come off entirely?

If it is I paid way too much for it.

No latch, dcp. That's an image of another model at the top of the page. The top doesn't do anything, the bin is just supposed to pull out, but it's stuck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

overfilled?

Art Crawl!!!

It doesn't recognise the nano as anything at all? You may be out of luck then.
