Looking into the Kiisu v4b. Hoping to get ~60% of a PM3’s utility on battery separate from another device, and I don’t want to pay $200+ for a flipper (also flippers are just a tad too recognizable by the general public).
Cheapest I can get one for with shipping is ~135.
Anyone have any suggestions before I press buy?

If you don’t mind printing a case, you could use a USB power bank and this old proxmark3 raspi project.

Hmm, I did want to build a more “hackery” cyberdeck complete with wifi tools and the like…
This is a much better route, thank you.
Time to make a parts list and throw that $135 at something that will entertain me for longer

All of these examples look fragile, impractical, and down right stupid to me. All those things clear plastics, all those obtuse connections and antennae-like protrusions, all those open joints and mount points.. the laughable way a lumbering clanker expframe is making its way almost etherealy through a forest without so much as a spec or spiderweb on it.. none of these designs would hold up to any real world use outside of a gestational biopit right out of ghost in the shell. Notice how GITS actually considered real world design issues… no open seams… no protruding cables and stupid shit to get caught up on stuff.
Esthetically engaging but down right ridiculous concepts won’t ever make me yearn for a biopunk future.

It’s possible but not very likely. The development on those take a long time and hundreds of dollars.
Also the alignment of Vega is completely off, and I’m fresh out of giant aquatic Brazilian centipede powder to inscribe the runes. The series of barter trades I need to make to get more is a complex web, and one of the steps involved learning a dance that caused amnesia when you complete it, so you have to learn it again every time. Seriously, that entity is an asshole for demanding that, but they throw the best parties and what else can you get for the creature who has everything?

Anyone has experience with the xgecu programmer?

These are of pictures the antennas of a little black magic toy that I own… It’s a IEEE 802.11ad 60HHz WiGig card…
I’m sure that some of you will enjoy looking at this.

I dislike the number of parts that could snag on stuff… And the number of exposed cables… Benston Dynamics used something similar for the wiring and hydraulic lines in their older Atlas prototypes and they had a lot of problems. And that was in a controlled environment…
It was good enough for working on the control theory side of things, but they went with a clean design that doesn’t have any protruding bits or cables to get tangled before advertising it for industrial use:
Also can I get uploaded to one of the newer versions and get a custom paint job?

Yep. Some pivots and undulations. They’ll find their fit soon.

Here’s another example of exposed bits that shouldn’t be exposed in the concept art of a game:

I mean, this looks like a prototype and not something that’s easy to live with:
Hydraulic fluid stains on everything aside, this other one looks significantly better. And while I’m not sure about the shape of the palms when it comes to gripping stuff, yes please!

No gripping, SMASH ONLY!

It seems that I’m going to end up looking rather hot!
Ok so..
The mars Perseverance rover has been extracting rock samples, processing them, then putting them into special sealed tubes, and leaving these tube “turds” all over the surface of mars as it goes along so a robot in 2030 can pick them up and return them to Earth for more advanced analysis. wow.
