Still alive, no good way to transfer photos.

Hello everyone,
I'm not dead yet,but my phone's USB C port is. That's why I'm kinda taking a break from this blog, or at least making less posts, until my port gets fixed, because it's really hard to transfer photos.

Meanwhile, I have been paying around with some old phones. I inserted my sim in a 2010 Nokia 6600i Slide, which I tried to connect to the internet using bluetooth, but that didn't work.

I have also ordered a new battery for my 2004 Samsung V200 flip phone, which has an "Exciting digital camera".

Probably the biggest news though, I ordered an original Nokia 3310 from 2000. The legendary unbreakable phone itself.

I also tried charging my 2002 Nokia 3410 using some USB cable that had the right jack, although that didn't work. Hope when I'll receive my 3310 the charger will also be compatible with this one. It probably will. I also cleaned it on the insides.

Hope I'll get my port fixed to be able to make more detailed posts again.

Have a nice day!😁

Zenith Z-Note Flex - Cleaning, tweaking, installing MS-DOS and Windows 3.1

Hello everyone! Today's review is about my new (24 year old) laptop form Zenith Data Systems! This laptop truly is a technical wonder of the 20th century! In its small (but very thick) form factor, it packs: -A removable Intel 486SL 75mhz CPU. -12 megabytes of ram. (only 4, originally, mine was upgraded when I got it) -A very crisp and clear 640x480 LCD TFT display, with a brightness slider. -A 1800mah battery. (mine is dead, after so many years) -A standard 1.44 megabytes 3.5" floppy drive. -A trackball. -A membrane keyboard with some very interesting function keys. (pretty small, but ok) -A 524 MB hard drive. When I first opened its box, and I plugged it in, it didn't turn on. In fact, it doesn't turn on at the writing of this post either. Its power brick only works when it wants to, apparently. But fortunately, It worked long enough for me to install MS-DOS and windows 3.1 When I booted it up for the first time, after it prompted me to e...

Telefunken Magnetophon 302TS Reel to Reel Recorder

After a long while, I'm back with a new review. And this is not just a review... It's the review of the piece of technology I love the most from my entire collection, which also happens to be the oldest one I have. It's the Telefunken Magnetophon 302TS portable reel to reel recorder from 1968. And oh my God, it's simply mindblowing in every way. It uses 13 cm (5 inch) magnetic reels to record and play audio. You can set the speed at 4.7 cm/s for longer playback but less quality or 9.5 cm/s for higher quality. It can play stereo reels, but won't record in stereo. It also has two buttons for selecting between left and right track. (or both) People consider reel to reel tape recorders to be the highest quality option for listening to music. Mostly because of the analog nature of the recording method, and the ridiculous speeds at which the tape moves in some higher end Recorders. Of course, you could consider this a high end recorder. It depe...
