Everyone get out your #BlackBerry...it just works...

At least one (IMO credible) report with the #Zinwa #BlackBerry Q25 that an update to Google Play Services is preventing anything shipped by Google from opening without Play Certification

Which is a hell of a bomb to drop, and absolutely hilarious

Что «убило» BlackBerry

Иногда разговоры о технологиях начинаются не с выхода новых девайсов или очередного релиза, а с фразы: «А помнишь BlackBerry?». Сегодня эту компанию знают не все, но в начале 2000-х она была стандартом, а не мемом. Смартфон BlackBerry ценили за предсказуемость, надежность и контроль. Почта доходила всегда,а связь работала даже при слабом сигнале. Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Владимир Сергеев. Я эксперт практики UC и ПО для совместной работы К2Тех. Мы не станем повторять сюжет недавно вышедшего фильма и постфактум разбирать стратегические ошибки руководства компании. Давайте на примере BlackBerry оценим пределы хорошо спроектированной системы и разберемся, какие технологические ошибки и инженерные компромиссы останавливают развитие компании и приводят к проигрышу в конкурентной гонке.

Catch of the Day - Good Friday Edition: Of Ataris and Crazy Emulators! 🕹️🦇

Hey Retro Fans!

You just don't stop amazing us! Our log files from the past 24 hours read like the script for a documentary on crazy hardware tinkering.

The absolute highlights of the day:

🦇 Atari ST is online: We had visits from HighWire – the custom-built browser for Atari's classic TOS (Tramiel Operating System). It’s an incredible feeling to serve our text content to a 16-bit system from the late 80s!

🎮 Netscape 4.0 on a PSP?! Yes, you read that right. Someone actually got the Netscape Navigator from 1997 running on a PlayStation Portable (with a massive 653 clicks!). This is most likely running via a homebrew Linux port or a DOSBox emulation on the handheld. Absolute madness!

👔 The Business Dinos live: We also recorded visits from old BlackBerry 10 devices and a genuine IBM OS/2 Warp system!

Whether you’re dragging your old Ataris out of the basement or testing obscure emulators on consoles – the Frog pond is open for you. Keep it up!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸

This, is still, today, my most favorite mobile device I ever had. #blackberry

I am one of those folks who had a BlackBerry and LOVED the physical keyboard. After BlackBerry ended phone production, I stayed with the BlackBerry-branded phones for that physical keyboard. My current phone (which does not have a physical keyboard) is nearing the end of its planned obsolescence, and I definitely want to look into this new physical-keyboard phone.

If you thing a 2 day AWS outage sucks, wait till you see flood in one of these data centers.

When I worked at #BlackBerry (remember them?) I was part of team which did a review of our data centers around the world for Disaster Recovery planning, 2011-2012 timeframe. The true planners had fits when they found out one of our data centers was 500m inside the 100 year flood plain of a river. Another, in Europe, was housed along side of a canal. The cost to move the first would have been $100Ms. The second got rebuilt to a safer place for quite a bit less. Neither were on this scale. Our environmental assessments were never completed.
