@wavesculptor @warmsignull granted, I like #Thinkpadnium and #Nokianite and if you ever had a #ThinkPad #X230 or an #Iridium 9505 or 9555 you'll know that #plastic's #feel...

  • It just screams: "I'M DOING SERIOUS BUSINESS!"

@vkc I acquired an #Iridium 9505 recently!

  • Can't go 'dumber' except PSTN/POTS touch-/tone dial or rotary impulse dial…

For reference: It's this #chonker made by #Motorola with some high-quality #Thinkpadnium & #Nokianite!

  • Now I need to find out how to disable "Two-Stage Dialing" and I'll never get #Robocalls and #SpamCalls on a +8816 number...

(Tho obviously not the exact one I have!) - Obviously they didn't set it up properly for dramatic purposes since without an external antenna connected, it won't work inside a plane, as #Iridium requires direct line-of-sight to the used satellites, necessitating an unobstructed horizon of 8,2° elevation. And yes details like this do annoy me...

This is the original "Smart Phone".

Actually, it's far simpler:

#ThinkPads became the #AK (or rather #AKM) of #Laptops because 5-15 years ago one could get a baseline #refurbished or #used & #surplus'd X-series #ThinkPad for like € 100 shipped...

Even a #child can #mod and maintain it, and they do!

  • It'll run whether the battery is missing, the screen ripped off or the SSD is dead.

How ThinkPads Became The Internet's Favorite Laptop

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!

@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!

  • I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.

Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.

That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...

Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.

I mean, come on... @frameworkcomputer engineers propably know where they can source some quality #Thinkpadnium or #Nokianite for some #CHONKER #Phone that survives me!

  • Even if it end up #THICC AF if that's what it takes to be indestructible...

  • Bonus points if it eats 18650 or 21700 #LiFePO4 cells so it won't blow up when shot at!

@izaya +9001%

I want a #Chonky #Phone...

It's allowed to be as #Thicc as an #Iridium 9555 if that gets me toolfree swappable betteries, a decent keyboard and a case made out of #Nokianite to the point that it'll break the floor when dropped!

Ideally it should also survive a shower and a dive and outlast me...

Attached: 4 images #WhatsMissing: A #chonky yet compact #smartphone that is #repairable as a #Fairphone and #rugged like an #Iridium Satellite Phone, with a compact form factor, keypad and toolfree swappable batteries - if not a hot-swappable pair! Should have a #Android without #Google-Bloat but instead #Fdroid and everything else can be installed by the user... Bonus Points if the #Baseband [ #WWAN ] and Antenna are modular and the #WiFi / #Bluetooth as well... Something that is maybe a #Thicc boi but easy to use blindly... Like an old FuG11b... Kinda Anti-#Enshittification - Design!

@lunareclipse But then again I'd not mind a dummy #thicc device if it's made out of #Nokianite and #Thinkpadnium, breaking floors instead of it's screen when it falls to the ground!

Like some chonky Iridium satellite phone!

@andytiedye @magicalgrrrl @Fairphone personally I'm so close to DIY'ing a smol & thicc smartphone running off #LiFePO4 18650 cells that only my #FP3plus running makes me hesitate.

You know, some brick of #Nokianite and #Thinkpadnium that - if thrown against a drywall - will penetrate it ar at least get stuck in it and be considered a throwing weapon in Germany.

@grossehalbuer Yeah.

#Nokianite [aka. #Nokium] is the strongest material on earth, even stronger than #Thinkpadnium.

It's said that Nokium nowadays is not being made because it required Russian PoW's to mine in Finnland.
The same mine is nowadays flooded and used as testing site for military drysuit diving equipment...
Or so the legend goes...
