It was a pain in the ass but me and a buddy got it working once. I was a young teen and this was long before weed helped me see more beauty in music, so I didn’t get much out of it, but as an adult it’d probably be different.

Just using it as a streaming machine.
He’s just using it for streaming, figured it having a built in screen would help significantly with the limited space in his flat.
Be autistic as well and give in to the autistic need for structure and routines.

I know Tom Scott was able to buy one brand new on Amazon a few years back.
Just imagine, the citizens of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls likely don’t bathe nearly as often as we’d want them. Just imagine how badly Belethor must smell of rotten cheese, or the amount of piss you’d find on raiders and the shit in their pants when they die.
Every time I get one of those from Telegram I always report it stating that nobody asked for it and that it’s utterly unnecessary for a messenger app.
Not even joking, I legitimately carry and use a mid-2000s PDA to help with that. It’s not compatible with the MAJORITY of modern websites, it came with no games, can do mp3s and FLACs if you wanna allow yourself music, and the productivity apps it comes with are, while a touch clunky due to age, remarkably simple. No fluff, no distractions, just you and what you need from it.
Important dates and events go in the calendar. Tasks to complete go in the Reminders app. Shopping lists and general note taking I do with the Notes app. It’s got a world clock with built in alarms. If I need any itemized lists for like daily/weekly chores, the Tasks app gives me a bullet point list of what I gotta do, even can do reminders.
Best part is that there’s still folks helping to maintain software for these. PalmDB is an excellent website with tons of apps you can grab for free, with virus free cracks for old paid apps, that even works in PalmOS web browsers. I haven’t yet found one for Windows handhelds (though there is a torrent on Archive with over 20 gigs of Windows Mobile apps and (probably virus filled) cracks), but both ecosystems can sync with modern OSes. I sync my Windows devices on my 2023-built Windows 10 PC.
I’m a retro handheld enthusiast, and my current daily driver is rare and expensive, but you can find Windows Mobile devices for dirt cheap. A Dell Axim X5 or HP iPAQ 2215 costs like $30-60, brand new factory fresh batteries are usually around $10-15, and there’s even models with built in keyboards if you don’t want to handwrite on the screen or use tiny resistive touch screen (think Nintendo DS) keyboards. Some external keyboards do exist, but you need drivers. If you want one with a built in keyboard, some PalmOS and old Windows Mobile 2003/5/6 smart phones have keyboards.
If you want an app for your phone, Soulseek has done me absolute wonders. Shockingly it’s on the Google play store. It requires an account, but the app automatically makes you one when you use it iirc.
I don’t have answers that haven’t already been said, but I’ll give a recommendation to Seeker as a means of downloading music outside of streaming apps. It’s just a fantastic app for torrenting entire albums from in mp3, ogg, and FLAC format. I’ve downloaded dozens of gigs of music off it so far and will likely have to grab a terabyte micro SD card for my phone.
“Do you read Sutter Cane?”
Name recognition sells clicks better than being concise and clear in your messaging.
Crinkle cut French fries, air fried Cover it in smoked shredded chicken Cover that in cheese sauce Throw on a nice, light shredded cheese blend Cover it in bacon Slather BBQ sauce all over it Die of a heart attack at 25.
Just a nice collection of quick, simple puzzles. A perfect time killer. It’s a staple that I’ve got on all the devices in my old 2000s PDA collection since it was also built for Windows Mobile and PalmOS.
I get that often on my tours. I hate it every time and it’s increasingly difficult to hide it.
Honestly you can get an old iPod, slap a new battery inside, and flash mod it to replace it’s hard drive with an SD card, and you have exactly what you’re looking for in a small, robust, easy to use device.
It’s also apt, in it’s own weird way. There’s absolutely a difference between pre-9/11 and post-9/11 America. One could consider it a rebirth of sorts.
