OK the #podcast episode is out now! #RetroTech
Lots of people are feeling wistful for the 90s or 2000s when Big Tech didn't feel like it was stifling and squeezing every ounce of joy from our miserable lives. I get that, I really do!
At the same time, I don't want to overstate how glorious everything once was, and there are still some pretty cool things to feel excited about today.
It’s…complicated. 😅

Is there a project to bring back the NewtonOS to any kind of smartphone? It’s written entirely in C++, so it shouldn’t be impossible. My Newton is getting old lately.

Newton Goodness. The Messagepad 2000 features an Orinoco card! You know whoever owned and used this was hustlin'

@madcollector I'm running a 2007 permacomputer laptop. Linux gave it a new life like 10 years ago and it's still going. I use it almost every day. It rocks.

Found my OG #amazfit #bip smartish watch. Battery is still good! Transflective TFT screen, no emoji support, terrible GPS, questionable heart rate monitoring, and poorly-translated English abound. I LOVE IT. I only wish I still had the Pace that I replaced the Bip with. That one was also poorly-great

💻🎮 Ah, the RTX 2080 Ti memory upgrade! Because who doesn't want to spend more on an ancient card instead of just buying a new one? 🙄 Double the #VRAM, double the opportunity to brag about your retro tech expertise at your next LAN party. 😂

🤯🎶 Congrats on over-engineering a solution to a problem nobody realized they had! You could've just bought a picture frame, but hey, now you're a PCB design, 3D printing, and C expert just to make #Spotify look like a 70s disco relic! 💾📀

⚠️BREAKING: TECH ADDICTION AMONG THE YOUTHS HAS ENTERED A NEW PHASE
So here in Hawai’i all the kids are using this bit of retro Japanese technology. At camp we had to take them away at rest time because they wouldn’t stop playing. Surely someone will address this new scourge of addictive tech?!
(/s in case it’s needed. Also, this is the one I bought because it was so much fun using the ones the kids lent me while playing Gaga Ball.)

Siemens M65
(2004)An absolute tank of German engineering and one of the most iconic rugged mobile phones ever produced. Long before modern IP-rated smartphones, Siemens captured the outdoor adventure, extreme sports, and construction markets by delivering a device that was unashamedly aggressive, durable, and packed with armor. It was built to survive drops, dust, and water splashes that would instantly destroy its contemporaries.
Technical Specifications:
Display: 2.1 inches TFT (132 x 176 pixels, 65k colors) – surprisingly large and highly readable in direct sunlight for its era.
Memory: 11 MB of shared internal storage, no memory card slot expansion.
Camera: VGA (640 x 480 pixels) with a protective rubber plug and video recording capability.
Connectivity: Infrared (IrDA) port, WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10.
Protection: "3D-Protection" system consisting of a metal exoskeleton frame and rubber shock absorbers.
Battery: 750 mAh Lithium-Ion (EBA-660) providing solid standby times in the field.
Dimensions: 109 x 49 x 19 mm
Weight: 104 gramsThe defining characteristic of the Siemens M65 was its revolutionary structural defense layout. Siemens wrapped the durable plastic chassis in a heavy-duty, grey aluminum alloy exoskeleton cage that securely locked into the backplate with a physical metal screw. Every vulnerable point – including the charging port, headset jack, and camera lens – was sealed with signature bright orange rubber gaskets and plugs. This striking grey-and-orange color scheme made it an instant lifestyle statement.
Beyond its bulletproof construction, the M65 catered heavily to outdoor enthusiasts. Siemens released an official accessory called the "Bike-o-Meter" — a specialized handlebar mount with a wheel sensor that connected directly to the phone. When docked, the M65 launched a dedicated cycling application, transforming the mobile device into an advanced trip computer, speedometer, and odometer. It remains a legendary pioneer of the rugged phone category and a pinnacle of Siemens' design peak.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active (ST17i)
(2011)Mažas, bet neįtikėtinai ištvermingas išmanusis, sukurtas tiems, kurie negali nusėdėti vietoje. Tai buvo vienas iš nedaugelio bandymų rinkoje sukurti tikrą bekelės telefoną, neaukojant funkcionalumo.
1 GHz Scorpion procesorius, 512MB RAM, 1GB vidinė atmintis, MicroSD lizdas, 3,0 colių LCD ekranas, 320x480 raiška, IP67 sertifikatas, 5 MP kamera, 1200 mAh baterija, matmenys 92x55x16.5mm, svoris 110,8 g.
ST17i turėjo wet finger tracking technologiją, leidusią valdyti ekraną net šlapiais pirštais. Išskirtinis dizaino elementas – masyvi metalinė kilpa dirželiui. Tai buvo sporto entuziastų kompanionas su barometru bei ANT+ palaikymu. Šiandien tai priminimas apie laikus, kai atsparus telefonas galėjo būti stilingas ir itin kompaktiškas.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
(2018)Visas pasaulis kraustosi iš proto dėl pirmojo iPhone ir Nokia privalo atsakyti kažkuo dar įspūdingesniu - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic tapo pirmuoju Nokia jutikliniu telefonu su S60 5th Edition (Symbian^1) sistema ir dedikuotu muzikos mygtuku.
3,2 colio TFT jutiklinis ekranas, ARM 11 434 MHz procesorius, 128MB RAM, 81MB vidinės atminties (plečiama microSD iki 16GB), 3,2MP kamera su autofokusu ir LED blykste, 0,3MP priekinė kamera, Symbian OS 9.4, GSM/HSPA, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, A-GPS, FM radijas, 3,5 mm ausinių lizdas, 1320 mAh baterija (iki 8,5 val. pokalbių, 406 val. budėjimo), dydis 111x51,7x15,5 mm, svoris 109g.
Nors vėliau Symbian pralaimėjo rinkos kovą, šis modelis buvo milžiniška sėkmė (parduota virš 8 mln. vienetų), tačiau tai buvo paskutinis didelis triumfas prieš prasidedant išmaniųjų telefonų karams.

Samsung Galaxy S4
(2013)Populiariausias visų laikų Samsung flagmanas, kurio pardavimų rekordo nepagerina net ir naujausi Samsung modeliai. Tai buvo telefonas, kuris sekė akių judesius, jautė delną virš ekrano ir net matuodavo kambario drėgmę, tai buvo Samsung maksimalizmo viršūnė, konkurentas iPhone 5.
5,0 colio Full HD Super AMOLED ekranas, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 arba Exynos 5 Octa procesorius, 2GB RAM, 16/32/64 GB vidinės atminties (plečiama microSD iki 64GB), 13MP pagrindinė kamera, 2MP priekinė kamera, Android 4.2.2, GSM/HSPA+/LTE tinklai, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, A-GPS, FM radijas, 2600 mAh baterija (iki 17 val. pokalbių, 370 val. budėjimo), dydis 136,6×69,8×7,9 mm, svoris 130g.
Būtent S4 nubrėžė ribas, kiek daug technologijų gali tilpti ploname korpuse. Tai buvo flagmanas, kurį turėjo visi, tačiau jame buvo tiek daug funkcijų, kad ne visi spėjo apie jas sužinoti.

Absolutely genius : a brilliant experiment recreating the original experiment of Bell for the first telephone communication, based directly on Bell’s 1876 writings and using period-appropriate tools. It’s fascinating to see how the experimentation follows Bell’s own notes and reveals the progression of the scientist’s thinking step by step in his notebooks. Bravo to the @connections for this formidable initiative. Watch the video — super cool! 👌 Can’t wait for part 2 with the skin-tension system in the second device presented! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6irxbKpKzo #HistoryOfTechnology #HistoryOfScience
