That's an impressively designed bit of kit.
Guess I have to go barter with the architecture department to use their 3d printer...
It's so cool I want to die 😩. I would never use it but it looks great.
I saw a wrist mounted thing the other day, and I was thinking a modern touchscreen version running Linux could legitimately be great with a good mount. This would be perfect for that. You only need a wrist mount that won't make your arm sweaty...
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social that's so cool
Well, this goes on the old birthday wishlist... Awesome stuff!
I kinda want one of these.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social sick cyberdeck though
@bamboombibbitybop @kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social
The TVA has entered the chat.
(It does look like the device from *Loki*)
Nice idea, using 2 batteries instead of one. Now to see if it can be hot-swappable
For the clockwork pi uConsole, which is a similar product and also uses two batteries, that seems to be the case
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social ok yeah i want this
@n_dimension @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thanks! Please feel free to subscribe to our mailing list to be notified when it’s ready.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social omg I can imagine that becoming a perfect DJing computer paired with Mixxx and a Pioneer controller
I was thinking this would be a otg deck for traveling. Adding ports galore (hdmi,dp etc) and being fully cast ready - you could dock it anywhere and take everything with you in a small form factor. Working in handheld mode on the plane, then casting/hooking to your hotel room tv with a BT keeb would be a dream. Given the customization inherent, this could blow Samsung Dex out of the water.
@jpenuchot @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social You all are giving me new ideas now! Thank you!
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social that keyboard, complete with the laser pointer button, looks very familiar! Nice job squeezing it into a new housing. The trackball too 👀
@gadgetoid @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social thank you so much! Glad you like it
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social Much retro. Very stylish.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social "what is the difference of pilet and consolo?
consolo was the project’s codename. moving forward, it will be known as pilet. this change reflects our commitment to appeal to a wider global audience."
I'm failing to see how "pilet" is any more or less appealing to a wider global audience than "consolo", am I missing something?
@bamboombibbitybop "consolo" is near the word "console" but in some languages it means "confort", but is also, and more importantly, a vulgarism for "dildo". So "pilet" (I guess as in "support for a structure") is much better for marketing.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social@jt_rebelo @kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social ah, thanks! that makes sense.
@bamboombibbitybop @kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social consolo was too easy to pronounce and sounded like Han Solo.
see, any foss project needs a name that’s impossible to pronounce in English at first glance, so speakers of every other language won’t feel alienated, thus wider global appeal. /s
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social Perhaps I am mistaken but in the image representative of the final product, one can see the navigation bar similar to that of #Plasma mobile.
Oh, you're right! I was wondering why this was in KDE (despite being very cool) But on zooming in I see Dolphin and the Plasma navbar.
@Konqi @kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social yes that is Plasma Mobile.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social
I'm not even sure what I'd use this for, but I want one
I wonder if that keyboard is via a wired interface only. Because something like that would be perfect for a Pico W or ESP32 so that it works detatched. I think this would be great on a desk with a kickstand and the keyboard detatched. There might even be some pins leftover for a "wireless" GPIO header on the keyboard, which would be really cool if you were using the included VESA mount for the tablet
That keyboard looks very similar to various "mini keyboards" on Amazon. I searched for "pc remote keyboard trackpad" and found a couple that are pretty close.
I have had a couple. Don't expect to type out a novel on it. Between the tiny layout, the straight rows, and the mushy matrix, they are barely good enough for searching for movie titles on Kodi. I'd rather use a phone touchscreen keyboard.
I think it's pretty hard to make that sort of call from a single photograph, of pre-release hardware. You've used the literal cheapest common denominator of keyboards that look like this, something you could probably get on aliexpress for a dollar that's been rebranded. Besides that, I'm talking about using either one of two open microcontrollers that would make the device and it's firmware hackable, which is still much cooler than what you probably got from Amazon.
Imagine bringing a calculator to school but it turns out its just an entire desktop 😭
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social I guess I will be buying Skyrim yet again… sigh.
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social when I, Gnomian, can love Plasma :raspberrypi:
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social Damn, that looks so neat!

just sign up i call u...ENJOY live video sexBut why the ugly beige?
a. It is not ugly, how dare you
b. it is what machines looked like in the 80s and 90s, and it is that retro look the maker is going for
Lol it's aping 70s or 80s design
The nineties is full of round edges and silver plastic
With its beige/white body and brightly-colored buttons, it reminds me of the hand-held electronic football games, and others like it, from the 70s.
Weren't they originally white and changed color with age (and maybe smoke)?
