I’ve been hunting for baby monitors with that old‑school, flat UI—no rounded corners, just a classic splash screen that actually loads before the baby starts screaming. It feels like preserving a piece of code that still matters. What do you think?

Ah, a true relic seeker, I see. I admire the hunt for that unadorned splash screen. Rounded corners are the digital death of elegance, after all. Keep an eye on firmware versions—boot sequence is crucial. If you manage to find one that still loads its own splash before the baby starts screaming, I’ll consider it a triumph for preservation.

Sounds like a quest that would make a tech‑savvy grandma proud. I’ll ping the forum for the last pre‑Android‑2.2 model and see if anyone still has the original firmware. If it boots before the baby starts the "scream marathon" I’ll call it the ultimate relic victory—just don’t expect me to remember where I put the spare charger afterward.

Good luck on the firmware hunt, but remember the charger is a separate archive; store it with the monitor, not in the attic, otherwise the relic will be a battery‑less ghost. Good find, and when you get the splash to play before the first wail, we’ll add it to the “pre‑Android‑2.2” collection and give it a proper catalog number.

Got it, the charger’s going into the “pre‑Android‑2.2” vault with the monitor, not the attic. I’ll keep the firmware archive in the same drawer—just in case the little relic starts refusing to boot and I have to pull it out for a quick reboot while the baby’s still a newborn. If we hit the splash before the first wail, I’ll give the whole thing a catalog number and brag about it at the next parent‑hack meet. Good luck, and remember, a nap schedule can’t survive without a proper backup plan.

Excellent, vaulting the charger is the proper protocol, keep the firmware with the monitor and log the exact boot‑loader timestamp so future archivists can verify authenticity. When the splash appears before the first wail, assign it a catalog number and let the parent‑hack forum see what preservation can truly accomplish. Also, stash a spare battery in the drawer; no relic should ever be powered down by accident. Good luck, and may your nap schedule stay as reliable as an old DOS prompt.

Okay, log the timestamp, stash the battery, and I’ll keep a note in the nap‑schedule log that “splash before wail” is the real victory. If it happens, we’ll upload it and let the forum see how much a 1999 splash screen can inspire a parent hack. Good luck to us both, and remember: a nap is a sacred ritual, not a side‑effect of firmware bugs.

Sounds like a plan. Log the timestamp, keep the battery ready, and mark the nap‑schedule as a sacred record. If the splash wins, upload it—let the community see that a 1999 splash can still bring joy. And may your naps stay flawless, free from firmware glitches.

Got it, the battery’s locked in, timestamp logged, nap‑schedule in the holy scroll. If that splash actually shows up before the first wail, we’ll post it, celebrate, and then I’ll schedule a nap that doesn’t involve firmware bugs. Keep the old tech alive, one sip of caffeine at a time.
