Idk why people are so into the trackpoint. I could never get the hang of it.
That thing is sexy and I have a romanticized view of cyberdeck-like devices, but what do people who do this kind of work actually need and use? As cool as this type of device is, are they actually useful?
I remember my team hired a dude that would walk around with one of those old Nokia things. We were giving him a tour and he was logging into each box as we went along. I got the sense he was pretty comfortable with it.
Personally, I don’t get it. I really don’t want to thumb type out anything more than a couple sentences.
Also, probably unrelated, but that dude lasted only a few days.
Maybe, I would pay decent money for something that’s comfortable to thumb type on for coding/terminal work from bed
Wasn’t this the pitch for the Pilet? Only they originally targeted rpi5 only to switch after significant delays to the cm5, which pissed everybody off that already bought one.
Real curious about the battery life. All of Raspberry Pi’s offerings are notoriously power inefficient; it’s a shame there’s no big competitor out there pushing for that.
I have a Clockwork Pi uConsole and with even just one 18650 I can easily play something classic like Roller Coaster Tycoon for a couple hours. They’re not as bad as you’d imagine.
How does it (thumb) type?
No, that’s terrible.
