Smartphone Volla Phone X ??

https://volla.online/en/volla-phone-x/
#OS #Libre possible : #Linux #Ubuntu Touch. Pas de batterie amovible et 450 euros…

Est-ce qu’il y a depuis un #smartphone équivalent, à savoir #robuste, OS Libre, et batterie amovible, éventuellement avec un haut indice de #réparabilité, du coup ?

La batterie, quand on lit sur le site #Volla #VollaPhoneX, ça reste peu précis : longue durée de vie blabla mais voilà, pas plus, pas de données, vraiment…

Et sur une vidéo, on voit un clavier #qwerty !!! Où est-ce que l’on peut voir, pour être sûr, qu’avec l’OS #UbuntuTouch, on a un clavier #azerty et en langue française svp ?

Minitel Terminal Becomes Mini Laptop

image

A French Minitel terminal becomes a Raspberry Pi-powered mini laptop.

In 1980, France took a step into the future when the telecom companies introduced the Minitel system -- a precursor to the Web where users could shop, buy train tickets, check stocks, and send and receive electronic mail through a small terminal. Minitel still had 10 million monthly connections in 2009, but the service was discontinued in 2012.

The keyboard of a French Minitel terminal is wired up to an Arduino Pro Micro.So, you can imagine how many Minitel terminals must be floating around at this point. [Gautchh] picked one up at a garage sale a while back and converted it into a battery-powered laptop for taking notes in class. Luckily for us, [Gautchh] recently open-sourced this project and has given us a wiring diagram, STLs, BOM, and a good look into the build process.

[Gautchh] started by gutting the Minitel, but saved the power button and the très chic power indicator that looks like a AA cell. The new 10.4″ LCD screen is held in place with four 3D-printed corner blocks and a bit of hot glue, and the original keyboard (which we'd love to clack on) is now wired up to an Arduino Pro Micro. The main brain -- a Raspberry Pi 3B -- is easily accessible through a handy little hatch in the back. Well, it looks like we've got a new ebay alert to set up.
