Now instead of Doom we prescribe Half-Life. Is it worth waiting for the new rule "Half-Life works everywhere"?
Probably not until it's open source. Quake 2 instead?
Developer gets Half-Life running at 30 FPS on a Nokia N95

#12332 MHz Dual ARM 11 ?!
Half-Life ran smooth in Pentium 100 single core.
Then, they added Steam, and my Celeron 300 had trouble running it. Shit by Valve to coule games with a mandatory subscriber agreement. Even breaks EU law to "one-sided change" it again and again later, to keep access to your game library.

#13To me the Nokia N95 was close to a perfect phone, only the E61 or 62 then the E72 could beat it, especially for the price at the time. I still like to think of a parallel time line where Symbian actually had a good and usable app store, and developers had been supported.
Teenage me would've killed for an N900 back in the day. Went with an iPhone 3GS. Still think about that from time to time. I don't regret it, per-se, as the jailbreak scene at the time was very exciting.
N900 wasn't symbian, if that was what you implied.
It ran Maemo 5, and I still miss it even though I never owned one myself. Unfortunately Nokia fumbled everything.

#14I noticed quite recently in awe at the Chinese parts recycling market with the N95 (and a few other old Nokias) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/227249518747 Apparently they've been rebuilding full "new" N95s and other Nokia fare from old motherboards and new spares/knockoff parts. It's like a new legitimate knockoff from the grey market? They've even got things like 'refurbed' N900s... Mine came with a text message still…
What is the purpose of refurbishing old phones like this? Is it just to sell to enthusiasts/collectors? In most of the world, 3G has been shut down and 2G is either already shut down or in the process of being shut down, so you wouldn't be able to get much practical use out of the phone.

N900 was a crazy phone, ahead of its time

At that time I had a flip phone maybe a black berry curve so not aware of it

nope. 14fps on pentium 200mhz with 32mb ram in 512x400 or similar mode (640x480 was too much)

Went from E61 to N900 to pre³, least I can say is that neither modern Android nor iOS amazes me.
