PS3 slim first cleaning after a life. The dust isn't that bad, mainly a few tar laced dust bunnies. The repaste was definitely due though! Oh and a new CR2032 clock battery of course.

Android 7.1 greets me from 2018 complete with old telegram notifs. Pretty bare bones as all the good stuff was on the SD Card.
Android 11 gets flashed and I'll have to see what 32 bit ARM mobile computing is like in 2023... If the battery still works...
Google really is out to kill now huh. Firefox is nice by the way! If you can't live without chrome use Chromium. Idk if degoogled chromium is still a thing but yeah... This is horrid.
