Questionable purpose. Childhood dream fulfilled. 📞
I 3D printed a working 1980s brick phone so I can put my iPhone and smartwatch in a drawer, focus on what I’m doing, and still take calls without all the distractions. Like Focus Mode was never invented, lol.
This version connects to my iPhone via Bluetooth. I’m currently working on a standalone 4G version that won’t need an iPhone at all.

I built a completely unnecessary Bluetooth Brick phone that connects to my iPhone
Calls only. No distractions. Just focus.
Could I just use Do Not Disturb? Yes.
But that would be too easy.

Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar for Windows. Please test it+file issues.
SHIFT-CLICK the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey.

Today is a very sad day for the Apple community
Bill Atkinson has died at the age of 74😢
He was Apple employee number 51 and the principal designer and developer of the Lisa GUI. He was also among the first 30 members of the original Apple Macintosh development team. RIP Bill

@KevinNoki designed a wireless apple ii mouse. Getting close to a good print, then can start sanding and finishing. Had to switch to a abs style resin since the elegoo standard red is garbage.

I redesigned Apple’s 1986 ADB Mouse and made it fully 3D-printable! Now it’s wireless, has a scroll wheel, and works on modern computers.
You can 3D print your own – all files are available!

After almost 15 years of sitting broken and collecting dust, I finally fixed my Macintosh SE 🎉. I even installed System 7.1 using the same floppy disks I used for the FlatMac 💾. #MacintoshSE #FlatMac #apple
