When I was younger, palmpilots and blackberrys were the coolest things to me. Something that was basically a computer you could carry in your pocket? I wanted one so bad! And now basically everyone has something even better. Funny how things change.
Not to brag, but my mom let me have her old palm pilot from work.
Guess I was pretty cool when I peaked 20 years ago.
I would argue that the modern smartphone is different, but by no means better. Between the locked down operating systems and the lack of a physical keyboard they are great for consuming media through approved channels, but basically useless if you want to get any work done with them.
I only recently found out Blackberry still make phones and they still have the physical keyboard! One of my coworkers has one and I did a double take when I first seen it.
Running Android. The BlackBerry OS does years ago.
I bought my first handheld anything, the Palm Zire 31 in high school. Everyone thought I was weird, but I was also organized. :P
I still find them cool. I’m kind of into retro phones I guess
Yeah that’s cool and all. But now build that into the front of this, and I’ll really be impressed.
Wow there’s some memories I didn’t know I still had.
Or just into this
BlackberryPi Flipper Zero with LoRa and a thermal camera (because why not) would be cool
The lillygo t deck is a blackberry style device with lora https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-deck
Aren’t all ESPs used in lillygo devices universally bad as portables. I’ve read that her watches last only a couple of hours with minimal use.
915 MHz sold out :(
That looks great for hiking and scout boys
No need for a flipper when you could add a SDR module to a Pi.
You don’t sand your 3d prints?
You sand your 3D prints?
I’m still planning to do some projects with it. But other projects always come in the way.
So it’s not common to make the lines away, at least on surfaces?
edit: ok, that still seems to be a prototype.
Those are grip enhancement surface features.
Actually, those are speed lines. It makes you type faster.
No, around the keyboard.
You mean the small gaps in the filament?
Those won’t go away with sanding unless you go really deep
And personally for a prototype sanding is a waste of time. Get something working as you expect, then roughly design a case, iterate the case, finalize the case design, then finally worry about surface finish.
What the other person said. This is a prototype and looks to be printed with thicker layers than normal (.2mm is the usual.) to save time.
Ok now find a job in a suspicious facility, write all your whereabouts inside that thing, die gruesomely, and make sure this thing is visible on you, bonus point if you manage to get some blood on the screen !
But can it create that old GSM speaker buzz like my Blackberry did?
Be bedebe bedebe bedebe
JFC. Stand-up meetings with people dialed in to the speakerphone. Buzz-screech all meeting every meeting.
Blackberrypy 3: full size touchscreen with a flip keyboard, right?
“Sony Ericsson m1i” be like
Want.
