This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

Who said anything about Microsoft

[–] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they're referring to the sale of Nokia's phone division to Microsoft in the mid-2010s. It's since been bought back and is in the process of renaming to HMD.

ok, that's cool. and their stance on repair ability means if they make a reasonably sized smart phone before I need a new one I'll be getting one, and one of the stupid tablet sized ones anyway if not.

LineageOS wouldn't run on a real nokia unless you're talking about the nokia branded microsoft phones and they're more like a 3d printed gun than an AK-47.

I think the argument still is, that those aren’t „real“ Nokias. At the very least they’re not the same Nokia that built the 3310, as that Nokia isn’t in the consumer electronics market anymore.

Ah I see. That's a bummer
