标题： Practical Retrofitting for Obsolete Devices -- Bridging the gap with old tech to create alternative interaction paradigms and workflows

摘要： 在过去二十年中，智能手机逐渐取代了许多早期的数字工具，如个人数字助理（PDAs）、相机和音乐播放器。 如今这些设备被视为过时：它们可能具有一些美学或怀旧吸引力，但它们无法适应现代、无摩擦、以云优先的工作流程。 然而，这些设备仍然具有一些智能手机所缺乏的优点：专注于特定使用场景；硬件按钮和物理连接器；多日续航电池。 即使它们缺乏连接性，从弹性、隐私和安全的角度来看，也可以被视为一种优势。 实际上，今天使用几十年前的技术是具有挑战性的，尽管其表面看似简单，因为基于物理介质的工作流程所产生的摩擦现在显得难以接受。 但就像经典汽车可以安装电动机一样，有可能对旧设备进行改造，使其在互联世界中再次可用。 在制造商停止支持设备很久之后，用户社区在逆向工程文件格式和通信协议、维护文档和软件存档以及设计和生产可克服初始设计缺陷的备件方面发挥着至关重要的作用。 本文将探讨软件和硬件改造技术，并使用各种示例：相机、音乐播放器、专用书写工具、电子游戏。 改造后的设备既不是复古的也不是现代的，在专用硬件上进行单任务处理并具有间歇性连接的混合交互范式。 所讨论的各种示例概述了一些共同因素，这些因素增加了为设备找到成功改造路径的可能性。 这些因素也可以被理解为创建弹性硬件的成熟设计原则。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Over the last twenty years, smartphones gradually replaced many earlier digital tools such as PDAs, cameras and music players. Today these objects are regarded as obsolete: they may hold some esthetic or nostalgic appeal but they do not fit in a modern, zero-friction, cloud-first workflow. Yet these devices still have desirable qualities that smartphones lack: a singular focus on a specific use case; hardware buttons and physical connectors; multi-day battery life. Even their lack of connectivity can be seen as an asset from a resilience, privacy and security standpoint. Actually using decades-old tech today is challenging, in spite of its apparent simplicity, because the friction of physical media-based workflows now feels unacceptable. But much like classic cars can be fitted with an EV motor, it is possible to retrofit older devices in order to make them usable again in a connected world. Long after the manufacturer stops supporting a device, user communities play a crucial role in reverse-engineering file formats and communication protocols, maintaining documentation and software archives, as well as designing and producing spare parts that can even overcome initial design flaws. This paper will explore both software and hardware retrofitting techniques, using various examples: cameras, music players, dedicated writing instruments, video games. The resulting retrofitted devices are neither vintage nor modern, creating their own hybrid interaction paradigm around monotasking on dedicated hardware with intermittent connectivity. The various examples discussed outline some common factors that increase the likelihood that a successful retrofitting path can be found for a device. These factors can also be understood as proven design principles to create resilient hardware.
