I actually dug out my psp a couple years ago but couldn’t find the battery. I did have the wire to plug it at least but I haven’t managed to use it only with that. Is it known if the battery needs to be inside to get it to start? Should it work without the battery but plugged in? Before I buy a replacement I want to know if it is actually dead.

Wait what? What sense of truth? Do you know when fake photography started? Around 5 minutes after photography was invented. Now it has become even easier but no one should have ever thought “ah, it is in a photograph so it must be true”. AI has nothing to do with that.

Let’s not forget all the software that was done and kinda ready for the openmoko device. There were a few distros for that alone. Some were pretty stable but the biggest issue came down always to phone call quality and connectivity. I’m completely out of the loop but back then all the chips were so closed in themselves that they were basically black boxes. A huge effort was made to try and get them to work as well as possible, with varying degrees of success. I wonder if it continues being the same nowadays.

The N900 was such an amazing device, I still have it around and the UX was the best I’ve had in a phone, Maemo was truly great and way advanced to its time. That UX with the screen sizes we have today… I keep dreaming.
