Windows 8 On A Feisty XP Palmtop
Windows 8 is a black sheep in the Microsoft family. It's fitting therefore to install it onto another black sheep, the spicy Viliv S5 Ultra PC PMP (Portable Media Player). A rascal from 2009 that doesn't care how scrappy it really is.

    Its not even just handheld electronics with this "you fix it, it wont work anyway" crap. We've already got cars and trucks that become difficult to maintain electrically functional after a period of time, as they know the government requires no warning lights on the dash for a road worthy certificate. The components are no longer available new, and trying to get an airbag or abs light to go away just so that you can be a second or third owner of a car that is otherwise faultless is infuriating, on my car it had an airbag light, the airbag was fine, clock spring in the column was fine, gm tech 2 diagnostics didnt show any faults in the system, but the light persisted. Turns out that there is some sort of g force sensor in the airbag computer that once tripped, bricks the airbag computer, comms are no longer available, but it will show the signal for a fault to the instrument cluster computer, but not to the tech2/aldl port. The only fix was to buy another car within the same year/month of vins. And install its airbag computer and instrument cluster, which then required me to use the body control module and ecu from that car also, in order for it to all communicate correctly with no faults. I will note at the time, the car was worth $300. So for less determined people it wouldnt have been attempted im sure, but for me it was a challenge i accepted and won. I will note i then replaced the airbag computer with one from a saudi arabian delivered commodore, which came factory without an airbag, only seat belt pretensioners, and learned how to re flash the cluster ecu to accept comms with it, then used the gm tech2 software to recalibrate the system so that it understood it had no airbag in the steering wheel, therefore only displaying a fault light upon key on to show it did illuminate, and now will only show a fault if theres a problem with the airbag computer or the pretensioners. It was a massive months long saga and has resulted in a technically unroadworthy car, but... The car now has a nardi steering wheel, and no airbag system faults. There are similar issues related to the ecu and transmission destroying faults in the model two generations previous, where if you didnt have it dealer serviced, over time it would end up constantly destroying the clutches for 3rd and 4th gear resulting in you replacing the transmission or having it rebuilt, only for it to eat that transmission the first time you towed or had a full car load of people and did 100kmh for a long distance. If you had it dealer serviced they would reprogram the ecu after the run in period, removing the code that locked it in 3rd and 4th simultaniously resulting in either the torque converter clutch or the 3/4 clutch slipping to destruction. Im unsure if that was simply an oversight or if it was done intentionally to cause people to take it to gm for servicing.

    Always wanted to own a Communicator. Sadly, the best I could afford was an N72. Still super fun though. You could hack N-Gage games into it, and it had more RAM than the N-Gage, making the gameplay a lot smoother. Older tech was more janky, therefore more fun to play around with. The only living remnants of that era is the TI84+ and similar calculators. I want to have one, but those are insanely costly. I tried ordering an used one, but it got lost in transport.

      The Nokia 3310 LCD uses only a few microamps. That's thousands of times less than the rest of the phone is using on standby. Making the screen blank won't make any noticeable difference to battery life. The green backlight however does use lots of power. Make sure it's turning off when you are not using your phone to save battery.
