    you could say that exept Cyberdecks usually works around buyind new tech, the mandatory rasberry pi, those influencers seems to work around a pile of amazon boxes, meanwhile old thinkpads are big tanks people use on construction sites, somes times ago the military or in fucking SPACE (they use them is the ISS). Cyberdecks have qualities : they bring back fun design in tech that severly lacks it nowadays and is in my eyes important, whereas old thinkpads are - yes - very funny to use, have a fun community, is built for linux compatibility, are VERY easy to fix for cheap using second hand pieces that flood the market for cheap, and they just work. They are big fucking bricks that can withold a building collapse (true story) and run your shit and it’s really usable everyday. (it’s not necessary my POV rn I just got into it, I’m just giving you the general community perspective).

    Does not mean Cyberdecks sucks but in my opinion the trend tends to rely on consumerism and highly unethical sellers, like “buy this list on components from AliExpress” which is kinda sad. But that’s not all cyberdecks users. It’s nice so see a majority of women in a tech trend also.

    I am myself considering building a mini notebook on a bracelet. could use a used smartphone but they sadly don’t boot on linux and instead rely on emulate linux, but android and google would still hard spy on me sooo

    Yeah I got that, 100 watt is what I was aiming for. I was just hoping to find a 20cm cable without any more removable part but hey. Would love to fully wrap that mf in mat pink but I’d rather not order online, shipping centers and chinese factory are basically slavery and it goes again my DIY\upcycling creed

    yeah I see how to do it thre is a sliding platform, I just need to get a keybord but I try not to order it and rather save machines from becoming ewaste so local used market mostly. Gonna have to order the cable though. That’s the one but I’d like to find a shorter one if possible, so it’s more portable without a dangling cable yk but yeah tysm.

    For the DAW I was told about ardour, gonna be tough to leave my syeat reaper behind. gonna need to find some light synth too, I loved vital so much

    EDIT : I forgot one of my friend told me about librazik a french FOSS DAW currently under development but it seems testable
