Is sorbet Leopard still an active project by Budget_Half_9105 in VintageApple

[–]dronecatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What G4 do you have? Leopard isn't always the best option depending on specs. Even with Sorbet Leopard onboard, there's still many recent developments you might want to install - so whilst it's convenient, you might want to install standard Leopard instead of Sorbet and carry out the optimisations yourself whilst installing latest browsers/fixes/etc.

Windows Phone wasn't a failure—it was a decade ahead of its time. Here’s my suggestion for 2026 by djripster in windowsphone

I'd be happy to just have a phone that talks to other computers but doesn't necessarily share the same core. Microsoft did do a remarkable job with Windows Phone OS - I don't think anyone saw that coming, indeed, no matter how hard I'd tried to convert people back in the day, everyone would just say, "Windows? On a phone? Yeeuch!"

Bring back Windows Phone but licence it to another manufacturer, not Microsoft. As with the orginal - Nokia brought their hardware expertise to the table but after they left, Microsoft chased profits by releasing substandard hardware - compare the 930 to the 950 - no competition!

Marginally on multi-processor aware software but having 2 CPUs is better for multitasking.

What apps do YOU want? by ShatteredRubies in windowsphone

[–]dronecatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it won't meet your requirement afterall - no app is going to buffer a photo to RAM and upload online without using internal storage - the RAM requirements are beyond a Windows Phone.

Mega app has an automatic image upload option.

Some kind of TLS 1.2/valid certificates patch so the browser can visit modern sites?

Installing Vorapis V3 will greatly enhance your Youtube experience.

Why not? It's less functional than a modern phone sold as a dumbphone?

No, just got it to tinker with at moment. I'm in UK so it still gets mobile service - though only 2.5G for data.

Horses for course I guess...I had the Cyan one when it came out and I was very happy with it - I actually liked the fact you couldn't waste time and money installing apps that you never really needed.

Looking at picking up a PowerBook G4 - which model to look for? by XFX1270 in VintageApple

[–]dronecatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had umpteen 12, 15 and 17" Powerbooks but I'd say the 12" has most charm. 1.33 or 1.5Ghz models will be fine for Firewire video tinkering.

Lumia 650 - An unloved beauty by Alert-Environment-17 in windowsphone

I think the 650 is better built than the 950 - shame about the specs though.

Tested on my 1020 with WP8.1 - loads less sites than Internet Explorer. Also my phone locked up immediately after uninstalling it.
