That Nokia was never a shitbox though. That was an excellent product when it launched and you’ll have a hard time finding owners who disliked it. Heck, you’re liable to get an earful for disparaging it, and rightfully ao.

Absolutely, I would also argue the same for the Hilux
If you're badass enough that they named a war after you, you're doing something right as a vehicle builder for sure.
Unless you're driving a Volkswagen Gulf
I prefer the slightly newer 3410. It has a better button layout and added features such as web browser, picture editor and downloadable games (my grandma somehow has the long-lost first ever 3D Java game Munkiki's Castles on hers, which has been in daily use for 20 years). However, they are so similar that their later revisions only differed by the button placement and firmware (see Janus Cycle's video).
Yowza, that man certainly violated that 3310 in ways it's going to remember. That's a neat piece of hardware for sure.
Funny how he flashed the firmware and struggled with the incompatible button layout rather than getting a cheap second-hand 3410, even a broken one would do (are there any broken ones, though?)

A few years back, I found my old ThinkPad that I bought used in about 2000 and it still worked, homemade Hayden Christensen background and all. I was so upset by evidence of 16 year old me being horny for Anakin that I almost threw it against the wall, but it probably still would've worked.
I love those thinkpads so much. Perfect hybrid of functionality and physical buttons.
I like that it still has the mouse clit
Same thing here. There's2 things I do on a new thinkpad even before installing Linux on it
- Swap fn/left Ctrl
- Disable touchpad
The nipple mouse is just perfect for when you don't have access to a proper mouse, and disabling touchpad in bios just eliminates all the annoyances with touchpad such as your palm ruining the day when typing

one thing I don't get is why the proper mouse buttons are above the mousepad
They're for the clit mouse. The bottom of the touchpad still has a physical click option
the what now 😳
Some call it trackpoint. It's the red button in the middle of your keyboard
does anyone actually use that though? it's super impractical
Yeah there's some amount of people who like it, including me. Wouldn't use it over a proper mouse, but surely over a trackpad
Not impractical, you just don’t have enough experience with them yet :)
I feel like the death of H264 is the only thing that will make me retire my T60 ThinkPad.
ThinkPads with 4:3 displays ♥️
4:3 was always the superior format unless you watch videos in fullscreen!
Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art
I love it when I can still repair or modify a piece of gear. The large physical size and relative simplicity of older gear makes a big difference for that, especially for home users. And then there's the whole thing where a lot of newer stuff is just glued together, so you can't even access the insides without expert knowledge.
Back when I was making chip music, the original Game Boy was all the rage, despite the shitty display.
Opening beer bottles is so hard with these modern phones.
This is how I identify now.
Old shitbox? I think that's me too
I fucking love headphones with replaceable Ear thingies
Why redo the bottom caption with the same text except in slightly more broken English?
That thinkpad doesn't deserve this hate
Pedant here. 3G networks are being decommissioned in a lot of countries, turning Nokias in dedicated Snake game consoles.
The original 3310 never supported 3G to begin with, these were GSM phones.
The phone doesn't support 3G. Why are you spreading FUD?
Hahaha not those Thinkpads
Don't those old nokia's no longer work because carriers have turned off everything below 4G?
