what phone do you have with a cooling fan?


yeah, tmobile (and mvno’s that use their network) is the only US carrier that it’s easily doable on, and you’ve gotta make sure the phone has the 4g/5g bands/antennas that match their network.


There are a number of niche brands out there that still cater to us old farts. Check out Ulefone, Oukitel, Unihertz, Doogee, iiif150, etc. Each company has normal models, but they all also dabble in unusual experimental models as well, some that are ultra small, other that have blackberry style keypads, or feature projectors, floodlights, uhf radios, thermal cameras, multiple screens, etc etc.
Most models still retain SD card slots, headphone jacks, some still have IR emitters and other older i/o as well.
They’re all Chinese companies though, funny how all the consumer tech innovation is happening in communist countries.

Most non-battery powered reolink cameras have an https web server interface, as well as support for any 3rd party app through open onvif and rtsp protocols.
The bad part is, you typically need to turn those functions on with their app…
Fortunately they don’t require a an account or login to do that!
I have several of their “E1 outdoor” ptz models, highly recommend the “cx” model with the starlight sensor for amazing night vision, although it looks to be backordered at the moment.
Edit: missed the bit about birds, you’d probably want one of their simple fixed outdoor cams like the RLC-510A or WA depending on whether you prefer wifi or Ethernet.


“anyone who wants privacy from their government is a pedophile” is a hell of a stance…
