Mobile Devices

Since technically all mobile devices are computers 🤓, I should write about them as well in this section.

While impresive in a lot of ways, due to their locked down nature and inferior software selection compared to "regular" computers, mobile devices (mainly tablets and phones) aren't as interesting to me. I mean sure, you can jailbreak iPhones and root Andriod devices, and I do admit that process alone can be quite engaging, but at the end of the day it's still a phone (or a phone with a large screen) running a phone OS for doing phone things (scrolling Twitter or whatever).

I've got a few of these:

  • first generation iPad Mini
  • Nokia 6.1 (one of those modern Nokia Android phones)
  • some Samsung phone I can't be bothered to remember the name of
  • iPhone 12 – my main phone
  • iPhone 8 – my previous main phone
  • iPad 2021/9th gen – my note-taking device

The only o̸n̵e̵ of these worth talking about is probably the first gen iPad, and that's only because you can install iOS 6 on it (with CoolBooter) and iOS 6 is fun because it has ✨skeuomorphism✨.
