My elementary school in Utah, we also called them portables. Ah the memories!

Everyone’s Upstairs Neighbors

TIL that DVDs could even be regionally locked. That’s annoying.

David Bowie’s Nipple Antennae

Happy to be part of the top 1% in this case.

The weight issue is why I’m looking forward to (hopefully) seeing the Aptera make it to production. Being super aerodynamic and lighter weight so that it can charge up to 40 miles a day on solar alone. Lithium batteries would be better suited for this form factor.

That appears to be running Android tho 😄 (granted Gingerbread, a very old version) but I don’t think that counts as a “dumb” phone haha

That blue is very nice!

Curious what do you have now?

Just wish modern devices still had easily removable back covers without needing pry tools and hair dryers.

Wow that does kinda look like a Gameboy Advance just with way more buttons!

Do you still use an iPhone? I switched to Android after 4 years with my iPhone 5 and still use Android today.

If I’m home, I use just one towel and keep using it for like a week or two. If I’m in a hotel, they usually have so many towels so I’ll use the whole variety and fresh ones each day. It’s nice, but too lazy to constantly be washing towels when I’m home lol.

Yep! Could even use the tiny outside display as a viewfinder!

This small form factor running Android would be very cool! Despite a small screen, it’d probably work well enough since you wouldn’t have a software keyboard taking up 50% of the screen real estate. The e-ink keyboard is a good compromise of having dynamic changing keys but still have the tactile feedback.

That little camera module looks like it actually took decent pics based on the sample on the wiki. Esp considering it’s from 2002.

Oh ya I remember wanting that one a lot! I think it was too expensive for me at the time, so ended up with the alias 2 but I envied anyone who had one of those.

It was such a joy to text on it!

Moto Razr in silver was my first phone ever! Loved the design of it!

Yes, you should support open source when possible if the project(s) you use are beneficial to you! Your dollars are far more valuable to help out a small team of independent volunteers vs multi-billion dollar corporations that really don’t need it.

If you can’t donate money, donate your time / skills or do both! Make the world of software a better place, one small contribution at a time!
