#cyberdeck

2 messages2 participants0 message aujourd’hui

Anybody know where I can find a reflective lcd screen that is readable in sun light? Like the one that #Beepy uses.

I want to build a #writerdeck / #cyberdeck with a raspberry pi and a screen that works in sun light. I had a look on e-ink displays but it seems like drivers to use them as primary monitor doesn't exist (or I couldn't find them at least).

Or if there is a place to buy a complete Beepy or similar?

Any suggestions are welcome!

I finally have my first #cyberdeck and it's not beautiful, but it works.

It's still amazing to me the original conception of the cyberdeck as a collection of cast off parts just isn't practical.

Everything pictured is somehow a bit special. Both screens are sourced from China, and together cost more than a cheap laptop.

The only thing cast off in any sense is the dell wyse 3040 thin client running it.

The knockoff of the pelican case cost more than a used chromebook.

Still a fun project.

The other day I posted about how technology design is boring now, just a slab with a screen.

This morning I stumbled across #cyberdeck and #writedeck projects and they look amazing! Some are so sleek they could be commercial products, some are literally held together with electrical tape.

I even saw one with a beautiful hand-made wooden case, switches instead of buttons and an actual key to turn it on!

I'm not very engineering-minded so not sure I could do it myself, but it's nice to see people still care. Combine it with #cassettefuturism and you're onto a winner I reckon.
