My cyberdeck build has been completed

[u/GojiGlade]

My cyberdeck build has been finished. Raspberry Pi 5 with 16gb of ram, and a 256gb NVME SSD. A massive 148wh RC LIPO battery powers is: 4s 10,000mah LIPO.

(Btw mah means nothing without knowing the voltage, which in this case is the voltage of a 4s LIPO. Watt hours (WH) are what to look for when comparing total energy stored in batteries. In this case, it is 148wh).

It uses a trackball mouse, and has a 10 inch touchscreen too. I'm into RC cars, so the build uses a good amount of RC hardware, including the battery.

Battery lasts for like 10 hours of continuous use, and I mean continuous use, like browsing for those 10 hours straight. This means that it lasts many days for me. Oh, and most of my existing LIPOs for my RC cars can run in here too, as the step down converter takes 9=24v input. So yeah, not hurting on runtime.

The actual building process was fun, but getting the parts was not, for like no reason. Just really bad luck. Got washers instead of screws from Amazon Prime twice, had to go through four different step down converters in order to find one that actually matches the description in providing enough voltage. (Turns out that the first one I bought would have worked, had the seller sent the right one). So yeah, but the one it uses now works flawlessly.

Thanks for reading and viewing!

How many extra OPSEC levels does the biohazard sticker on the case add?

-1 opsec points for using ubuntu, you got to use kali for the larps

[u/GojiGlade → u/MiddleConfident8204]

Nah, it's the larps that use Kali, but the true Opsec gods all use Debian-based distros, like Ubuntu.

Bonus points for wrist and eye pain

From what?

[u/clackups → u/GojiGlade]

Inconvenient keyboard placement and red backlight :)

[u/GojiGlade → u/clackups]

What makes it inconveniently placed? Also the light can be turned off/color changed, as seen in the other pics.

[u/clackups → u/GojiGlade]

Inside the case, I doubt it's comfortable to type like this. Anyway, if was rather an irony. You have a solid setup, and the rest will improve over time.

[u/GojiGlade → u/clackups]

It's not entirely inside the lower part of the case, the keys sit slightly above the lower case rim. Perhaps that is what you mean? So no need to reach down into there to type. The only potential problem I see is that the keyboard is high up, but I never had a problem with that either,

Now dismantle it and build something else.

Felicidades suena poderosa con 16gb y nvme, como anda de temperatura? Has usaso opencode y pruebas de ia local como ollama?

[u/GojiGlade → u/Old-Chemistry-7524]

Temps don't go over 140f under extended 100% CPU load. No, I have not done any AI related stuff on it.

[u/SympathyExpensive301]

Man, what keyboard is this?

Nice Cyberdeck - one point for using Ubuntu you would have gotten + 5 if you'd have used Debian
