Recently, I dug up my old PSP Go I used as a kid and turned it into a retro game emulator. I used it for years when my parents bought it for me back in 2009 and I remember dropping it, getting water on it, and just the general abuse I put it through being a kid and all. Let me tell you, these things are resilient, and I feel like there should be something said about the strength and quality of older electronics, but that's for another day.

When I found it, there was dust all over and the screen was hanging off from the ribbon display cable. I found the original charger and it charged like normal and started right up with all my save data still there from well over a decade ago.

I originally found it just to play Dissidia Final Fantasy again, which was more an impulse decision than anything. In the process of doing that, however, I found that there's an entire community of modders that make plug ins and emulators for the PSP, so after getting Final Fantasy going I decided to download any and every game my heart desired. This included classics from the PSP like Dissidia, SOCOM, Syphon Filter, MGS Peace Walker etc, but also included Gameboy, DS, Atari, and even PS1 games that looked and played incredibly well.

The memory on these things is a measly 16gb which was a big deal, at the time, but kind've a joke in today's 2 tb hard drive world. Sony had a remedy for this, as did most handhelds back then, with the addition of an SD port.

So just buy a 128 gig SD card, no biggie, right? Well, no, Sony had something to say about that too. They wanted their products to be completely proprietary, which is so strange looking back, but I guess most companies did that back then. You could only use the Sony branded M2 memory cards, which would net you an extra 16 gigs at most, which was still not much more.

Well guess what? Today, people make nonproprietary converters for the PSP SD port specifically, that let your use any SD card from any brand and almost any size.

Now, after tightening the loose screws back up, cleaning out the internals, adding way more storage capacity and loading a bunch of new software onto this neat little device, it's better and has more potential than it ever did back in 09. The sound only works if I have headphones in, but I think that adds a little character to it haha

It's fascinating to see just how much we've progressed in the software world after having reacquainted myself with Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

No, 2G phones are not currently supported in the US anymore and 3G is on its way out too. If you're looking to disconnect in some ways, frankly any flip phone out there right now should do the job. I understand that they do suck as they're basically meant for shriveled up old prunes, but at least they won't be obsolete for the one thing you want them for. And if you really feel so inclined, you could just switch to home phone only.

TY for the answer. I knew 3G was out, but I saw some discussion about 2G staying so I wasn't sure. Honestly, modern flip phones being made for geriatrics doesn't really bother me that much. It's the fact that they have still have a lot of the same corporate spookiness of smartphones. I would get a home phone only, but there are people I need communicate to that primarily use texting. I might see if I can root or otherwise modify a modern smart phone.

There're some privacy-focused Android-based OS's for certain specific phones, but ironically a lot of them use Google's Pixel series as their core device (GrapheneOS for instance). It's difficult to de-Google an Android phone otherwise, although it can be partially done.

You might look into a Linux phone like the PinePhone.

One guy used the parental controls on his iPhone to disable everything except the handful of apps he wanted to actually use, and combined that with a random password so that if he wanted to install new ones he'd have to do a factory reset. He even disabled Safari.

There are also some black and white eInk Android phones out there.

Good luck.

>>2494
Is that guy me? I've done that exact parental controls method on Iphone.

Timmy, the young son of a cyberpunk stripper, who perished in a makeshift VR chamber. Weeks passed before his small, lifeless body was discovered, the stench of decay permeating the cramped alley where he sought solace in his mother's VR cocoon. The news spread through the community like a silent scream, echoing the neglect and systemic failures that claimed his innocent life. His mother, grief-stricken and abandoned by a system that failed to protect her and her son, now navigates a world where the scent of loss lingers, a poignant reminder of the high cost of survival in a city that often overlooks its most vulnerable inhabitants.

To prevent tragedies like Timmy's from recurring in the cyberpunk city, urgent steps must be taken to prioritize safety and support for vulnerable communities. Implementing and enforcing stringent regulations on VR chambers, ensuring proper ventilation, emergency shut-off mechanisms, and regular inspections are crucial. Investing in community-led initiatives that provide education on safe VR usage and mental health support for users and their families is essential. Additionally, fostering a culture of accountability among corporations and policymakers to address systemic inequalities and provide equitable access to healthcare and social services can mitigate the risks faced by marginalized populations. By advocating for comprehensive reforms and empowering communities to advocate for their rights, we can create a future where stories like Timmy's are not repeated, and every individual has the opportunity to live with dignity and safety in the cyberpunk world.
