A friend has been saying "we need more routes to getting chips, we need more routes to manufacture PCBs, people have no idea how fragile 'being able to control your computer' is right now", and I agree with that

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Language and branding is important in conveying ideas and setting expectations for the general public. For example, Apple managed to convince people that “a Mac” was a totally different type of thing from “a PC”; if it's different, maybe it's better. And an “iPhone“ is not the same type of thing as a “computer”, so don't expect to be able to do everything a “computer” can; it's a new different thing.So I think we need a word that means a local-first computer that you actually control. “PC” is already taken; “sickobox” is (alas) a hard sell.
I propose we use the word #cyberdeck. A *cyberdeck* means a local-first computer that you actually control. My #PinePhone with #postmarketOS is a prototype cyberdeck.
@modalModal Collective are trying to make a ready-for-primetime cyberdeck.
First prototype of my #diy #handheld #cyberdeck powered by a #RaspberryPi Zero. Unlike my previous tablet designs, this one is aimed at low power for extended battery life, focussing on command-line use. It will be used mainly for reading ebooks/websites, e-mail, SSH, note-taking and some coding fun. It could work well as a #writerdeck too. It has a 2000mAh battery under the keyboard providing 13 hours of continuous reading time. Next I need to design and print a cover… https://tobykurien.com/post-1769934638
Some more shots of the Typeframe.
Yep, it runs MacOS 7.5 really wide 🙃

The Typeframe is modeled after the Epson PX-4 and looks like a twin. The 7.9" LCD is also a touchscreen. I chose a Raspberry Pi 5 and an inexpensive ready-made keyboard. It's all powered by a 10 Ah battery and charges with USB-C. And lots of 3D printing and cable management.

Ever since I saw the Typeframe (a DIY writerdeck or cyberdeck), I wanted to build one. And so I did! I tweaked the design here and there to fit what I had on hand and my tastes. Here's the result. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

does sth like a light (== low weight), small ish (<=13inch) and powerful (== usable as a laptop) good linux tablet exist?
i wanted to build a #cyberdeck, until i realized I just want a tablet + mechanical keyboard

Finally managed to slap together what I'm calling a Hyperdeck. A #pimoroni hyperpixel 3.5, #raspberrypi zero 2 w, an #adafruit power button, a piSugar, and the guts of a blackberry keyboard from tindie
( https://www.tindie.com/products/zitaotech/blackberry-bbq20-usb-keyboard-with-trackpad/ )
The piSugar seems tempermental, as the power button still needs to be connected a bit more reliably, but it does power off and boot up. #cyberdeck
My first public project
All the tech things written below is done by me hehe I have been obsessed with cyberdeck and she likes my idea so we began to build it. Welp there isn’t any shoutout to me tho 😅
It took roughly a month to build all of it because I was quite a newbie. I still want to make a legit cyberdeck someday !! Just I have got no time rn
We all knew it was coming: I finally built myself a #cyberdeck. 
It is basically just a 3D-printed case that holds my phone and a few essential electronics. It is going to be really useful at events.
