Today is #Nokia #N900 15th anniversary.

Nokia N900 was released on November 11th, 2009 and is one of the few last mobile Linux devices.

It is also the last device to be shipped with the Maemo operating system.

I've just seen the unpossible. A broken #nokia phone. I think I understand how Cockcroft and Walton felt when they split the indivisible atom.
A broken Nokia mobile phone laying on a green surface. The case is busted, the front bezel is pushed up, the joystick is smashed. It probably still works.
A broken Nokia mobile phone. A black rectangle with a small clear rectangle (the screen) below that a series of holes where buttons would be (removed). Below that is the dialing pad, a 4x3 array of white buttons with red text.

I got myself a little N900 a couple of weeks ago. The USB port was busted (completely off lol), but I got some new batteries and an external charger. And now it lives! It's running maemo 5 from 2011 so a lot of stuff just doesn't work. Which is fine. I'm going to replace the usb port and then try maemo leste on it. The fact that a modern OS is available for such an ancient device is so great!

Recently, I uploaded a video from Bell Laboratories, Inc. featuring the first example of synthesized computer speech. Regrettably, this was the first upload of mine to receive a copyright violation. However, this was not due to the content of the record itself, but rather due to someone who had sampled parts of the record and used them in their own song. As far as I understood, YouTube's copyright and content ID match requires original creations that do not contain samples from another recording.

I conducted research to determine who now owned all of Bell Labs' patents and copyrights and discovered that it was Nokia. I was able to submit a form for licensing requests via their website and explained the nature of my channel and the copyright problem I had encountered while trying to showcase their record on YouTube.

To my pleasant surprise, Nokia was incredibly accommodating and granted me a no-charge lifetime license, on the condition that I add the message "Courtesy of Nokia Corporation and AT&T Archives" to the video, which I was more than willing to do.

Unfortunately, this process required me to edit the video and re-upload it. However, it is now up once again, and the copyright has been filed with the claimant, including all details of the license I received from Nokia.
