A phone
that becomes
infrastructure.
We will repurpose refurbished Androids and other recoverable devices into small ThinkIac machines: local, private, and useful long after a phone’s usual lifespan.
Phones become infrastructure again.
Recoverable Androids with 4 GB of RAM or more can become local ThinkIac machines.
Headless by choice
The screen does not need repairing for the first prototype. It is managed over the network from another device.
A dock as physical interface
A case organizes power, cooling and connections without hiding that this is a recovered device.
One base, many paths
The project starts with this model, but the open Map will cover several recoverable Androids with 4 GB of RAM or more.
A case for what the device can still do.
Recoverable Androids with 4 GB of RAM or more can become local ThinkIac machines.
A useful cooling + battery extension.
Explore the IP5306 + EL electrical base with two fans. It is movable and visual only: it cannot be edited or saved.
An open map to build your own.
Cases, diagrams, scripts and decisions to turn a recovered Android into a local ThinkIac.
