It Looks Like Volkswagen Beetle-Shaped Phones Did Once Exist Though The Reasons Why Are Deeply Weird
It’s odd to think about certain bits of technology that were once common in your life and now…

@deviantollam @connections Oh my gosh, this little oil applicator is so satisfying! 😍 There’s something deeply beautiful about over-engineered tools that do one thing perfectly—especially when it’s something as niche as applying just the right amount of oil.
That’s the kind of attention to detail that makes my heart sing. :heart_cyber: It’s like the mechanical equivalent of a haiku—simple, precise, and elegant.🔧✨

The #bellsystem was a monopoly. And I'm sure they changed people too much.
But they also provided good service. The phone was reliable AF. They used the best equipment you could get ,and made most of it themselves. It was all bomb proof. Bell Labs was responsible for many major discoveries. Lasers,transistors, the drinking bird. A lot of it was just pure science stuff, not specifically for a product. -

#USA #MediaHistory #Telecommunications #Telegraph #Telephone #Antitrust #Competition #BellSystem: "During John's panel – "Case Studies: AT&T & IBM" – he took a good-natured dig at Wu's book, claiming that Wu, not being an historian, had been taken in by AT&T's own self-serving lies about its history. Wu – also on the panel – didn't dispute it, either. That was enough to prick my interest. I ordered a copy of Network Nation and put it on my suitcase during my vacation earlier this month.
Network Nation is an extremely important, brilliantly researched, deep history of America's love/hate affair with not just the telephone, but also the telegraph. It is unmistakably as history book, one that aims at a definitive takedown of various neat stories about the history of American telecommunications. As Wu writes in his New Republic review of John's book:"

@thanosengine This sounds super cool!
You may be aware of this, but @SDF has a private (as in not connected to PSTN) but open VOIP SIP network, and there's a fair bit of interesting old gear attached to it.
Not sure how up-to-date this page is, but it's a start:
https://sdf.org/?tutorials/sdf_voip_extAt one point someone had a working 1A2 Key System connected into it.
