Working on the Mecha Comet (https://mecha.so/comet https://mecha.so/comet), a modular handheld Linux computer.
Biggest challenges:
- How to explain the different use-cases/possibilities in a clear way
- DX for any hacker who comes across the device with/without hardware experience
- adrianwaj 7mo agoGood idea. I like the idea of: - having a handheld that moves away from Android, but can also be used as a phone on-demand. That is, being able to turn off the telco signal. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46700907 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46700907 - having a handheld that can be used as a barcode scanner. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46879780 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46879780 - having a crypto wallet with a "kill switch" in the event of coercive standover. Could also have a surveillance switch as well. eg see Mockingjay in this thread. "for the geeks, by the geeks and of the geeks" Really it should/could be for the plebs and anyone with a half a brain.
