I love the ridiculousness of the OS community, making dumb stuff for the sake of it 😭

Organisation can't stop us from experementing dumb stuff.

The question remains: can it run Doom?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Running Doom on the N95 wasn't hard. It didn't even play that badly with the controls.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Of course it did. It's Nokia. My bad for asking 😂.

been a long while so my memory is likely flawed.

But I'm sure I remember someone getting doom running on a 95 in the 2000s some time.

I have no idea why you'd do this.

But bravo.

I almost got the N95 back in the day, bit it didn't work with my provider. This project is hella wicked

hella wicked

did you type it out on a T9 keyboard?

No lol I just channeled my inner 90s hahahaa

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Had one for a good few years. Moved from US back home to UK with it so lasted a good while.

Loved the thing. Hated when I had to give it up due to lack of support for newer software.

I still find it bloody hard to see how modern smartphone are technically different. When you consider early some android etc had keyboards etc. Basically, it's just marketing and a more locked in app/program store.

It's also better specs that some software and security processes require, but yeah, it's mostly marketing and it sucks.

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well nowadays yes. But when the term smartphone was invented. Really not.

The 1st iPhone was way lower spec then many high end phones of the time. Mainly Nokia but others as well.

Early androids and others def had no specific specs that differed them from other high-end phones such as Symbian Win CE (as crap as the OS was but then so was the smartphone mareted version recreated later on)

Seriously, marketing was the only thing that differed them from phones like the N95 and communicator etc etc.

And as I mentioned, the locked store front. That really seem to be the main difference but really I still find non-advantageous myself.

Ah, you meant phone of the time. I thought you meant phones throughout time. Like, today's Pixel 9 compared to the N95. That sort of thing.

Yeah, you're right. Back then, it was all marketing and storefront locks. That's it.

And the flagship iphone of today is lower specs than its direct android competitor. But, then again, that's how apple seems to operate: lowest possible specs, highest possible marketing, beautiful (debatable, I know) UI... and locked storefront.

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah im not an apple fan. (My brother would have a heart attack if I didnt say that. He loves them).

But the fact they controll both hardware and software means they can run on lower specs. They dont use it as well as they could. But android having to allow others to develop hardware. Provides a bit more ability for manufactures to implement less efficient drivers. This is why some higher spec low value stuff seems so slow compared to equal speced cheaper Samsung stuff etc.

[–] lascapi@jlai.lu 7 points 1 month ago

Actually that pretty impressive what they can do with this old hardware !!! 🤯

[–] NetherFalcon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i'm actually genuinely surprised and shocked to the point where i fell down on the floor and didn't even close my eyes, you're actually telling me blender (or something like blender) can now be used on nokia phones from many decades ago?!

[–] theotherben@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

It's nothing to do with Blender but seems to have been inspired by older versions of it.

Whisk3D is a Blender clone, developed from scratch for Symbian s60v3.
