A fun little package arrived today! I unfortunately never had the chance to own the original #BlackBerry Passport back in its day, but I am definitely intrigued by Zinwa's new P26 so far (zinwa.com/product/p26-full-d…)! First impressions/real world review in the works. #QWERTY #RetroTech

Surprised and excited to see our Clicks Power Keyboard named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 🤯 PowerKeys is a unique (patent-pending) gadget we didn't even set out to build when we started our mission to bring real buttons back to the palms of our hands. We launched Clicks with Keyboard Cases for select iPhone and Android models. PowerKeys came next, built in response to the keyboard-loving community asking us to support more phones than we could ever build cases for. It's the most universal, versatile keyboard in our lineup... and unofficially the best fidget toy we've ever made 😜 Roll video 👇

The privacy switch on Brax Wink does what you tell it to. In BraxOS you pick what it controls: the mobile network, microphones, camera, location, sensors. One flip turns them off. Pre-orders open Tuesday, October 13: wink.braxtech.net #BraxWink #Privacy

Yes, @AndyManganelli - We do think it’s the perfect time to bring back the microSD card ;)

Battery Test Done! Ran a repeating sequence of everyday tasks directly on the phone. YouTube, Chrome, Instagram, X, Kindle, Audible, email, notes, real phone calls, photos, and video recording. Each roughly eight minute cycle repeated until the battery reached zero. Brightness was fixed at 50%, WiFi and cellular stayed enabled. The result: approximately 12 hours and 11 minutes of continuous use! Results reflect this controlled test. Everyday battery life varies with settings, signal, and usage.

This summer I was able to join @Youkhna & @ussefian for dinner & a tour of the upcoming @MinimalCompany Minimal Phone 2. Awesome device, great company, & a splendid evening. I made a first impressions video (better late than never). Enjoy! #QWERTY youtube.com/watch?v=9VvRfBze…

I like writing (not saying I'm any good, but I enjoy it). This is my debut Substack article (returningretro.substack.com/…) & I would be thrilled if you checked it out there too, but I also thought now that X has a lot of editing/formatting options I'd publish it here for you wonderful retroverts! I would love to know your thoughts and/or experiences with Linux.

My second @CASIOJapan G-Shock! I couldn't resist & added (the so far excellent) GW-M5610U to my small collection of low-cost Casio watches. I really like that it has both solar charging & radio/automatic timekeeping. Anyway, thought you all might enjoy the report! #gshock

Beautiful little retrospective on the process so far, thanks for making it Henry! 'In a world of distraction-hungry apps & gadgets the best tech shouldn't demand your attention it should respects your time and intention.' Agreed! youtube.com/watch?v=BxC89hA0…
