This unfortunately is flawed logic if it's intended to tax EV's as it would target semi trucks and heavy duty trucks more than EV's. https://ctr.utk.edu/electric-vehicles-damage-roads/

Having made several cyberdecks over the years and run the whole Pelican case thread longer than ideal, it has been about making custom one-off builds. There are really no limits other than attention span, budget, and design/build skills. I've seen some held together with hot glue that are just as cool as others from those with access to CNC facilities. Personally, they have been a great vehicle for me to push my boundaries in 3D printing and get from Tinkercad to Fusion 360, having fun the entire time.

With the theme of taking things too far, I build a gaming PC + kitchen sink approach to a quasi-portable network in a Pelican case, all with a custom designed metal chassis.

If you look at places like Reddit where the organizing is happening, they don't differentiate between left-leaning buyers of years past, and in fact call them out for being complicit by not selling their (paid for?) car. It's scorched earth and is not limited to new buyers.

I'm recently available after nearly 20 years of Fortune 100 operations, migrations, and project stabilizations at scale. I'm great at running extremely large and complex projects smoothly, and while I've focused on the Microsoft stack during my tenure at Avanade (joint Microsoft/Accenture venture), I am also skilled and knowledgeable with Linux, networking, hardware, and storage. My experience includes over a decade of effectively working with and managing truly global teams across NA, LATAM, EU, and APAC.

My ideal position would be an IT Director lead where I can help a company really scale and apply concepts used by enterprise clients. I've also run sales operations at a very large scale, so I am comfortable and extremely experienced at solutions architecture as well.

When not working, I enjoy cooking and 3d printing, sharing my designs for the latter (some of them have made hackernews!).

I’ll admit to not reading the entire article, but anecdotally fast food prices are within 10% of some table service restaurants here in Southern California. I don’t know if that’s really for or against the law, but calling the bill a huge success or failure depends on cherry picking stats.

This may help, and you may be surprised at how well an N100 can run Plex. https://www.doscher.com/gpu-passthrough-for-intel/

The framework just about fits well with a 13" display in the Pelican iM2200. The challenge with the framework is the USB display, and the all-USBC nature of their board- all solvable problems though. I almost made one and may yet, but these builds take months!

Thank you!

Charging at home easily wins, especially if you have built out your solar accordingly. Many states like CA require a limit of 150% current use as the max for what you can build, but it's just as easy to get the car first. On top of that, the article doesn't mention maintenance. That may not be as much of an issue with a mid-market car like a Toyota, but cars like Tesla have far lower maintenance bills that up-market brands like Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, etc. It's easy to spend $2k/year on maintenance for luxury cars- sometimes far more than that.

I would encourage you to either take a look at the cyberdeck.cafe website or drop into the Discord server- you may be surprised how many different builds there are, and you probably would find the original designer pretty happy to share design files or suggestions.

This comes up in response to this hobby frequently, and the answer is pretty simple- it does whatever you want. There are pretty much an endless variety of cyberdecks, and some are more useful that others. Even the ones that are for different aesthetics go on to inspire specific builds.

I think you're asking the question in good faith, but it's a bit like looking at an Arduino, Raspberry Pi 2040, or Raspberry Pi 4B and asking, "what can these do that an Intel laptop can't do better?"

I've moved from 3D printed designs like the Recovery Kit over to laser cut metal and rivnuts. I love them.

It started with Arduino for me, which led me to Adafruit, who has gone on to make their own Open Source Hardware and the Circuit Python platform. The scene now is multi-vendor and very healthy, but I'll admit I stopped using Arduino when it was very hard to get a genuine one... which I think is a solved problem by buying direct now.

This is good feedback, thank you. I'll add the date at the top of the article in the article text from now on, and should be able to go back and update old articles. As for whitespace, it's the CMS and template. I am able to create projects like these because I can leverage a CMS (Squarespace here). My projects usually get picked up/noticed when they are live, no one usually looks at my older stuff. Cheers!

All good points. Reach out to me on social media and I’ll send you a few stickers!

Thank you! I'm new here but have more stuff in the works. Right now I'm mid-project on some 3D printer enclosures but I've got some more stuff planned in the months ahead.

The box has flaps lined with copper (https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Uwc9SHzot/?igshid=5dgayhtfayad). The box was a bit of a joke since I have no background in EE and couldn't find good reference material.
