I remember having old #Nokia phones that never locked, they just existed. Security wasn't as much on people's minds then, even though you could have had sensitive message threads or whatever. Seems crazy to think about now.

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.
