Quoting: BlackBloodRumPlus, I'm trying to reduce my overall e-waste in general (this is why I stopped buying mainstream phones, and am now looking to more repairable devices).
Ah, yes, me too. That's why I've never yet acquired a cell phone--not because I'm a skinflint who refuses to pay $50 Cdn./month for a device that will let people bother me when I'm alone. Nope, it's the e-waste thing. For sure.

Quoting: TruckStopSantaClausHuh, I think this is the first time I've heard of RetroDeck. Is it better than Emudeck or something?

Quoting: BlackBloodRum
Quoting: Purple Library GuyI wonder how that works, actually. Is the whole thing just 0.4" bigger overall, or was there space around the edge of the existing screen that could be moved into so the device is the same size just with a bigger hole for the screen, or somewhere in between? Did they need to shift the controls any?
The screen had a large border:

My guess is they just used some of that space.
Yeah, looks plausible.
