Прошлая статья про полный разбор схемотехники современного кнопочного телефона вам понравилась. Однако в опросе и комментариях я встречал альтернативное мнение: мол обзор современного устройства, где все компоненты уже включены в SoC - не особо интересен из-за слишком высокого уровня интеграции. Читатели очень хотели узнать о том, что "под капотом" у первых GSM-телефонов, и не раздумывая я начал искать документацию и готовить статью в поистине уникальной рубрике...Сегодня на примере легендарной раскладушки.

DeanonymizedCoward writes: Engadget reports that Palantir has posted to X a summary of CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska's 2025 book, The Technological Republic, which reads like a utopian idealist doodled on a Bond villain's whiteboard.
