>>61014384

>Not obsolete
Yes technically it will function, but so will a floppy drive.

>>61014384
It's obsolete because that model with its glorious smooth metal casing was only ever available in sizes up to 2GB.

>>61014339
You know the finish doesn't actually make it any more durable, right? Whatever stress would crush some shitty $1 usb would break that too

>>61014339
A fucking USB?

So what?

Smooth metal casing? That's what does it for you? Wow.

>>61014401
>>61014403
I've still got a Cruzer Titanium 2gb on my desk right now, works fine for me if I need to move files in a pinch.

>>61014423
he didnt mention anything about durability, he only talked about design

>>61014423
But it looks pretty. Just like my Macbook.

>>61014339
How is this in any way special for an industrially designed device? Looks like a fucking typical USB stick to me.

>>61014479
It's sexy as fuck, dude.

>>61014526
>>61014423
Case was real titanium. It was heavy and cold and gave the impression of quality.

>>61014339
>slide button
Literally the worst design a usb could have

Core2Duo processors

Don't know if it counts as "industrial design" but basically they have no IME.

>>61014592
best design*

It prevents dust and scratches. Also the clicky sound is pretty satisfying.

>>61014573
Buy a metal USB stick then.

Muh metal = quality is marketing bullshit though, there is pretty much never a case where this will be better than a well-designed plastics case.

Intellimouse 1.1 with nonshitty parts and without squeaking

Not when you have to hold the slider to stop the usb retracting when inserting it, especially when you are trying to do it at awkward angles or under desks

>>61014631
There are credit cards out there that are made of metal. You pay a premium to have one.

Here, found a piece with more metal than is necessary easily. As always, China has metal fetishists covered.

And of course, many more exist.

>>61014392
>viao
>Sad anything about it is not with us anymore

kys cunt you can just get any ultraportable that is designed the same if not better than that.

>>61014672
Or, if you're an interesting customer, they'll give you one free, because its like a $2 piece of metal.

I'm sure they'll charge up to $arbitrary_nonsense for the privilege of you being able to show that you're "rich".

Yet, plastic will generally be superior as a choice for a credit card. What do you get from the metal, scratch more objects and accidentally poke your GF's eye harder or something?

>>61014753
>What do you get from the metal, scratch more objects and accidentally poke your GF's eye harder or something?
You get to feel like your dick is larger than the waiter's when you hand him a heavy credit card. That's about it.

The short version of that is really handy, actually. The carabiner-thing lets you keep it on your keychain conveniently.

>>61014767
There is no problem in letting the people who need to know you have money know when it matters, and in most other situations it's honestly more chill and easy if they don't.

>>61014853
If you see it that way, I guess so?

>>61014861
All right, I guess a hook has a legitimate use, and for the loop metal is probably superior to plastic.

Anyhow, you can get metal. Not hard.

I think it would be super awesome if the plastic protective casing around a floppy disk had survived until this day. Scratched disks are an abomination

Eh, you were able to get cartridged optical or magnetic storage media all along. You just never bothered to, apparently.

>>61014403
>so will a floppy drive

Are there even motherboards produced with non-serial anymore?

Good industrial design should minimize moving parts, not add pointless ones.

>>61014339
>>61014592
>>61014625
Had one of those. Astoundingly easy to break. Very cheap plastic.
I always look for flash drives now with either no moving parts or the kind with a large slide over it, not fixed to the port (no force on it from plugging in) so less likely to break, and if it does, I can still use it.
I had to superglue my cruzer open.

TN panels
Applel products
USB2.0
RGB gaymur shit
Soundcards
All of these to be trashed.

There will never be a console which looks as good and will have as many great games as this did, gaming was actually good during PS1-2 times

>>61014861
But how secure is the flash drive if it's going to be dangling on keys in pocket at least 6 hours a day?

>>61015633
a combination of general idiocy and having compatibility with audio CDs (which were never going to have cartridges) stopped cartridge-held disc media from taking off
which is a right shame

the real dumb thing is that DVD didn't do it by default, but again, combined CD/DVD players killed that idea

What do you mean? It can't come off the keychain by itself and the metal casing keeps it from being damaged. I keep a microUSB converter stick stuck in the port opening so it doesn't collect any dust.

Absolute eternal beast, this thing had like 32MB of RAM, a 333MHz CPU and ran games that still looks amazing, better than most shitty mobile ganes of today. Great fucking battery life and build quality. Still looks sexy af, also I still find Sony's UI very modern on that thing.

Reminder that this device is 12 years old already, great travel companion when I was a kid. Played a lot of Monster Hunter. Shit is nostalgic

That's why it hurts. Blackberry dropped development of the OS, there are no good mainstream apps on the BB store, Android integration works in many cases, but many apps are utterly broken.

Best phone for business I ever used. Had an iPhone before that and am now using a HTC 10 (all company issued). But holy shit did I love the Classic and the flexibility the keyboard gave me.

The Passport, Classic, and P'9983 are the last smartphones I will ever use unless either Android stops being shit and a BlackBerry supports that version or BlackBerry brings back BB10OS.

IMO, motorola did one thing bad - their stupid, slow and unreliable OS. I have an older cousin of the RAZR, the V360, and the OS is horrid.
If they had an OS similar to Sony Ericsson's they I'd probably use that phone even now.

But it does only run Linux distros. Chrome os is Linux (based on Gentoo or centos I think). Also you can install Ubuntu or Debian. And I think others as well.
The keyboard is limited tho. But I like the use of lower case. It's more elegant.

>>61025320
This.
In fact, altough you can install Windows on it, it would be useless because the controller of the HID and almost all shit is a single chip who hasn't driver for Windows.

>>61022875
Not him, but I actually find (good) portrait keyboards much more comfortable because you can easily cover bigger area with one thumb and don't need as long strokes (and if it's a good keyboard it doesn't make hitting a single button any harder). And I haven't ever seen any keyboard that comes close to BB ones.

You can play games for minimum 8hrs straight. Emulation or certain games can go past the 10-12hr marks if you can afford to clock down the cpu for them (usually automatic, can be done manually too).
Shit is preddy gud when you consider the 3ds/xl can't even get close to 8hrs and phones are laughable for playing games.

>>61026911
I think we're better off without it at least for now. FirefoxOS was apparently getting in the way of the devs working on Firefox/Gecko. For now I feel like anything they build will just be torn down later on by the Firefox/Gecko devs who aren't satisfied with the current codebase. When Mozilla's devs are satisfied with their refactoring then they can build something like FirefoxOS on top of that.

I owned the normal cruzer as well as a titanium one, only the former felt cheap, maybe you're confusing the metal one for the plastic one since they look the same otherwise. Both of mine were U3 variants too. Both of mine still work and I carried the titanium one with me daily and used it quite a bit, maybe I should gut it and see if I can upgrade it.

The Vita had better sticks (2 of them even) but lacked the games, and even the PSP games that you could download from the store usually had this weird frame skip issue that just made you want to play it on a PSP or PPSSPP instead.

I'm still mad. Vita might be my worst technology purchase.

I just want an MX500. Fuck the 518 and all the pretenders, they all suck. My old 500 lasted 13 years, the newer ones can barely go a year without fucking up.

The MX500 had perfect weight and grip. The feet were separate and that deterred dust from building up unlike the padded feet pieces of shit that Logitech uses now for it's mice. And fuck these high ass DPIs. Who needs 3600 dpi when most people throttle it down to less than a quarter of that. Also fuck DPi adjust, just give me fixed 1000 dpi and return the scroll wheel buttons and I'll be happy.

This thing was glorious. 20GB mp3 player released in 2003. It had a clickable scroll wheel that made navigation fast as fuck. Supported MP3, WMA, Ogg, and even FLAC. It let you place bookmarks in tracks so you could use it for audiobooks or long podcasts. It came with a dock that had RCA L&R audio out as well as an ethernet jack. You could set the blue light to either indicate battery charge status or act as a visualizer for the music.
