Technology@lemmy.world•Trump Mobile execs showcase the T1 Phone's new design and specs, and say the phones go through “final assembly” in Miami and full assembly in the US is a “goal”English
3·5 days agoLooks like a generic sub-$100 Chinese phone. Pretty sure the middle of those three “cameras” is fake, can’t really tell but the way it’s so much bigger than the others is a tell-tale sign with those devices.
I wonder why Trumpy doesn’t just ask his friend Tim Apple to make the iPhone exclusive to Dump Mobile.

11·5 days agoMy ThinkPad has one and it is just kinda there… despite it supposedly being remapable since Kernel 6.16 or so I can’t get it to properly remap.
I’d love to map it to open LM Studio lol

Technology@lemmy.world•This legendary Nokia phone is being brought back to life in 2026English
3·5 days agoIt’s cool to see this happening on non-android devices. I mean, yeah, you could install Android 13 on your 15 year old Galaxy SII right now if you really wanted to, but Android custom ROMS for old devices are rarely worth the trouble IMO; they’re often missing basic functionality and don’t perform great.
This is more interesting from a usability perspective. Granted, you still can’t use it as your main phone, as it doesn’t have 4G.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are there any good modern MP3 players?English
3·7 days agoI love my FiiO X5II. It’s basically like a modern, hi-fi version of the first iPod without the shortcomings (i.e. the hdd).
It can play almost everything, from MP3s to DSD128, and it’s pretty decent at driving headphones up to I wanna say 600 Ohm. It’s very nicely built, too, and the battery is stupidly easy to swap. It has two slots for microSD cards (up to 512GB seem to work fine per slot)
Bought mine defective on eBay for 80€, fixed it up and now it’s my daily driver. Doesn’t have Bluetooth, though.

Technology@lemmy.world•I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly wellEnglish
6·8 days agoThe regular iPods (non-classic) are the easiest IMO. No glue, no flipping over mainboards and no soldering. The iPod mini is actually the first modell I ever did a battery swap on and it would be just as easy, if it wasn’t for the trim pieces that break way too easily.

That’s not really true. You can download lightweight models to run with LM Studio just as easily.
