This is the battery bank I carry on trips. It can power downstream devices while it's charging, but only at >50% battery capacity.

#12I get the cyberdeck naming, but why is this called a "Recovery Kit"? What's being recovered? Never really talks about use cases. Just a cool way to get online on the go?
> Building Internet-connected things seems obvious today, but what about when there’s no Internet?
> The concept often feels like something out of a science fiction movie or a doomsday prepper’s handbook- and while this device can work in both scenarios, it’s also about understanding resiliency for your projects and being a good steward of the systems in place today.

I didn't realize the comment showed as [delayed], I thought it just didn't post. Sorry for the trouble.

#17I feel like this needs a meshtastic or lora or ham radio feature of some description but i'm definitely drawn to the concept - more as art than function

#18what I mean by that : the outside sets a tone of professional heavy-duty post-apocalyptic computing, yet the insides are filled with fragile wire connects, fragile routes, multiple boards and new (read: unproven) non-redundant technologies.
I would expect something that exudes that aesthetic to be wired like a NASA project [0], use radiation hardened components, redundancy, SOMETHING that speaks to the durability.

I have a delay set in my profile because I often edit a comment once or twice after posting, and don't want to cause issues by someone attempting to respond to a comment that's about to change. I didn't realize the comment showed as [delayed], I thought it just didn't post. Sorry for the trouble.
