The goal here is to find a balance between utility and inconspicuousness. Here's my idea for the ultimate mobile wizard:
It's all in the backpack: a fanless low power PC, camelbak for hydration, some high density snacks; change of clothes; UPS attached to an umbrella with a solar sheet top (sit down to use for "shade" to not look like a madman). Ultimate schway if the umbrella can deploy/retract by lever, similar to a recliner couch. Backup power using an arbitrary number of AA batteries.
The PC - sound via bone conducting headphones; monitor via (doesn't exist yet but) VR/AR headset (probably Oculus Rift CV2); custom keyboard that fits inside front pockets, works like the Datahand; CLI only as AR overlay on a FLOSS OS.
The clothes - cargo pants and a techy t-shirt that "explains" the setup (a shirt promoting VR or whatever). If it could be pulled off, wear whatever looks least conspicuous.
Everything else - keep work online; do not own anything that you cannot carry on you; do not have a permanent place of residence; keep a taser; use only prepaid debit cards or bitcoin; and finally use something small or quick for long distances, like a skateboard, skate shoes, or just a taxi.

Thanks, I'm seriously contemplating making this my winter project.
What would you put into deck for this incoming first generation of VR HMDs? According to Oculus, here are the minimum specs required to run things in vr without getting simsick: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/powering-the-rift/
Intel's been making a big push for integrated graphics support for VR; AMD has been getting there in the same vein with their APUs as well. I'll probably go with an intel mini-itx board with something like an i5-4590 to keep the wattage low as well eight gigs of whatever memory sticks I have lying around. I wanna avoid any off-the-shelf case because that just wouldn't be schway. But for storage the case would probably have a couple ssd storage slots for easy swapping and 60-75% mechanical keyboard soldered on.
Discrete graphics seem to be the only viable solution in the immediate future. I fear any GPU that is more than six or seven inches in length would be just as cumbersome as the deck shown in the instructable. A mini GTX 970 is capable of playing games at 1080p, 60-70fps and that's without having it display an image to each eye; I'd love to have something that averaged at 90fps but that would end up being costly as shit. Speaking of which, I hear that AMD's R9 Nano will have great price-to-performance ratio thanks to its HBM, too; so I'm not sure what I could go with.
This is something that I'd want to use while on the go so it needs to be capable of running without wall power. The only way I can do this would be to probably find a picoPSU with 500w output and connect it to one or two 12v external rechargeable batteries. Do you users think that would work?

GPUS typically come with a very cumbersome case. You can try carefully shaving off some of the case to reduce it in size. Alternatively, consider getting 2 small gpus instead of one big one.

>GPUS typically come with a very cumbersome case.
Both mini GTX 970s and the upcoming R9 Nano brush over six inches in length; I'd end up installing either of them horizontally to save space. I don't think I'll have to swap out any of their heatsinks for the sake of reducing size.
>Alternatively, consider getting 2 small gpus instead of one big one.
Then I'd have to get a micro-ATX board which would only increase the size of the deck; having a single gpu to render each eye would be great but that just wouldn't be feasible in terms of portability.
I'm more worried about the power supply. Computer PSUs that are designed to take 12v DC power as input exist; they're typically used by people who are in the market for setting up a computer in their cars, boats or solar-powered shacks. You could easily give power to the components of a mini-itx board for as long as the battery lasts. The only problem with this is finding a way to monitor the state of the battery itself; 12v external batteries aren't very cumbersome, don't you think? I can't find much information on mini-itx machines running on these kinds of PSUs so I can't really say that it's worth it, but I can say that it is possible to make it portable while still keeping it somewhat lightweight.

Not really. The real problem is supplying the required current, because a 12V battery is not anywhere near 12V, necessarily. Monitoring the batteries can be done the same as anything else with batteries.
But you're right, the PSU is the problem. There's a lot of information on mini-ITX machines and picoPSUs but very few have massive GPUs and high end power requirements. This project is largely in it's own class as far as power goes.
Most laptops use low-power processors and few of them have AC adapters over maybe 150W. Most picoPSUs are smaller than that.

If the goal wasn't to jack in to a VR gaming headset, and just have a deck-style computer for average use and ricing, what do you chummers think would be the best way to build it? Go with separate parts and build a desktop in a deck or go with something like a Banana Pi and have room to embed a screen, keyboard, and mouse pad?
Also, what are all the alternatives to the Raspberry Pi? I remember seeing a chart once but I can't find it.

I've been looking at the Pandora and it's successor the Pyra and I was wondering why their performance lags so far behind say, modern smartphones, which also contain shit like cameras and accelerometers?
And on a related note, wouldn't the best starting point for a cyberdeck be a tablet PC? I don't know how easy that would be to modify, but the specs of, say, the Jolla are pretty damn good and an open project like that shouldn't be too hard to work with.
Also, I came across this board which I think has potential.

Another issue is input. The obvious choice would be a physical qwerty keyboard, but these are fairly bulky and really require a flat surface to type on, which isn't ideal. Another option would be a touchscreen interface, which is very space efficient but not very schway these days. Voice input is cool but you will look like an idiot.
Some sort of chorded keyboard similar to pic related could be suitable, and would also allow fast one handed typing, although assuming one key is used per finger only 31 characters could be represented (no 00000). This could be easily integrated into a glove, and when typing with both hands up to 1023 characters would be possible, which could mean superfast typing in eastern languages.
My idea is to have a glove (fingerless, obviously) with sensors to detect movement of the fingers, which should be very simple. If it could detect both downwards and upwards movements, 242 characters could be typed with one hand which is more than enough for coding and leaves options for window management and other shortcuts. Something a bit more solid like the second pic could provide delicious clicky tactile feedback and make typing much faster and easier, since one would only have to make very small movements.

Anyone recommending a high end PC as a cyberdeck misses the point. Something like a smartphone with a VR headset would be pretty damn close to the classic Gibson Ono-Sendai - a "toy" computer with a huge portion of its limited compute power dedicated to fancy outputs and network connectivity, with the real magic happening in the Matrix/Cloud. In the Matrix/Cloud you can build your own little fiefdom with one or more systems, be they physical hardware or (less secure) VMs/VPSes on somebody else's hardware.
Keep in mind the original system that inspired the concept of portable cyberdecks was an Apple IIc.

It turns out that a megacorp's economies of scale and willingness to use proprietary tech give it a leg up on a bunch of amateur free software nuts in enhancing a system's performance/price ratio.
>And on a related note, wouldn't the best starting point for a cyberdeck be a tablet PC?
Sure, as long as you go with something hacker friendly (read: x86 or something with 100% upstream kernel support on Linux). Those cheap $50 tablets with locked bootloaders won't do you a bit of good.

You don't have to know much about technology to like/be cyberpunk. There was a poll on the r/Cyberpunk subreddit asking users how good they were with computers and the majority of fans were there for the aesthetic and mood of cyberpunk, not the in-depth technological aspect. Even William Gibson is actually pretty poor with computers, he writes his books on a typewriter.

I don't think anyone has made it into an actual portable computer … yet. There have been several projects to turn it into different, much better, controllers.
If you wanted to make it into a computer, I imagine a Pi-zero, or similar SBC for around $10 could be used. it wouldn't be very hard.
Where would you mount the screen? Maybe it should run up a cable to a pair of glasses and use a micro-display, like old Cyberpunk drawings.

I've been wondering about tablets. While they have little in the way of attachments, they seem powerful enough by themselves. Wifi scanner, onboard battery, outlet rechargable. It's basically wearable tech, or can be carried in a binder. But what I'm wondering is about "what ELSE can it do?" If the Power Pwn can fit on a Power Pwn, then it's software set should be able to bit on a tablet. When there's nobody to ask, then it's up to yourself to see what on the other side of someone's system. Just harmlessly, mind you.

You don't need better input devices, you need better utilization of existing ones.
The problem with tablets is entirely in programming.
But both major players on the market are more interested in selling you shovelware through their app stores than making usable devices, and everyone else is trying to ape their business model without thinking.

I think the issue with your statement isn't that you're wrong, but rather that you assume people would want to use a wearable computer for the same things they use a laptop for.
In practice, I set my wearable up with things that I don't want to pull a laptop out. SDR, WiFi monitoring, quick message scroll, etc. If I want to type more than a few commands, the laptop needs to come out.

You don't understand enough yet about how things work to understand why this is an issue.
Windows as a platform makes up billions of lines of code delivered to you in binary where an ordinary human cannot understand wtf its doing. If you had millions of man-hours of expertise, you could theoretically reverse engineer it - but absolutely no one ever will re the whole project.
You can do low end checks, like a user mentioned using netstat, but 1.) How do you know net stat isn't backdoored? or perhaps the kernel is backdoored not to show connections to spy.microsoft.com etc.or more likely 2.) How do you know spying doesn't use existing legitimate channels and obfuscate information? Your computer makes routine connections to microsoft owned servers all of the time - and many of of these are known spying.
Its not controversial to say Microsoft is spying on you - they are. They admit as much, they have unique domains for as much. Its not controversial to say you can't disable this - You can't - they admit as much. They say it is for "quality assurance purposes" and your computer will send "basic feedback" and telemetry, regardless of what you want.
Whats more controversial is does the existing spying extend BEYOND commercial interest - Does Microsoft collect interesting data for the government, or provide the government access to computers through backdoors? There are all kinds of reasons to think so:
First, Microsoft is a large company subject to US government pressure, and has "backdoored" products like skype to provide government access around encryption. Post snowden, there isn't much reason to think this isn't routine behavior for the US government. CALEA requires comms providers make information accessible to US gov, unless they don't have access to it themselves, apparently, asking corps to engineer a backdoor isn't against the rules. FBI tried to force that with Apple over San Beridino terrorists phone. The US Government, and all other governments are aware of this behavior and in response are trying to nationalize their technology stacks (cf. China building their own CPU, North Korea building a linux distribution, Russia creating its own crypto suite including new crypto alorithms, US government trying to ban kaspersky and huwei, Russia demanding to review OS X source code).
Second, Microsoft has notably delayed patching Windows to allow government to exploit 0days. (cf. Stuxnet). There is good reason to think Taylor Access Operations of NSA, and other similiar government teams are well integrated with security operations of private ISVs.
Third, Previous leaks of Windows Symbol tables have include NSA_*_KEY as symbol.
Your OS vendor has root on your machine. Microsoft is spying on you for quality assurance purposes. They have bowed to government pressure before. Every other government seems to be aware of this and suspicious. Would you give microsoft root?
I wouldn't.

>It turns out that a megacorp's economies of scale and willingness to use proprietary tech give it a leg up on a bunch of amateur free software nuts in enhancing a system's performance/price ratio.
This is true, but some of those structural economic forces are changing! CPU performance has been improving at 3.5% / yr compared to a historic rate of sometimes as high as 25%. This means that an open source system is now more viable than ever, because despite a longer design time for amatuer engineering, it will remain viable for much longer.

The real problem with wearable computers! They don't do anything. People are pretty much not at the point where they are walking and seriously computing at the same time. Pretty much any time you want to seriously work, you want to sit down. The best use case any one has come up with so far is essentially a mobile phone or a notification/sensor for mobile phone (smart watch).

I got to thinking about cyberdecks again today, and found this one that some ledditor made. There's a description here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3004669
A lot has changed since I last posted in this thread (in 2015). 3d printing is a lot cheaper, and there are much better peripherals out there. Second pic related is a $200 display that, although mediocre in quality, will apparently put out 1080p. Scale fonts up, and you could easily get a usable terminal for hacking the Gibson. You don't even have to use the shazbot hipster glasses, it'll just clip onto anything of a similar size. An Intel NUC, a custom case, a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard (you can even buy the PCBs and solder the switches yourself), a small display that folds down or slides out, and you could have a very powerful cyberdeck - comparable to a modern laptop - at a surprisingly low cost.
I'm getting really tempted to drop brouzouf on a 3d printer now.

3d printers are 100% tech woo. Anything you could make on them, you could probably make from off-the-shelf housings/fittings/etc for cents rather than dollars.
And even if you disagree with that, why drop all your spacecash on a printer when makerspaces exist that let you use them for reasonable prices, and many schools have some set up for students that you could take advantage of (by either being a student, which isn't unlikely in this demographic, or by paying one a box of beer to do it for you)

If you've got a shell to create and no 3D printer access, or it's too large to print, there's always Pepakura. In that case you use a normal printer to put your design on cardstock and glue the tabbed edges together to assemble your model, then use fiberglass resin to stiffen it up. It's a slightly orthogonal skillset to most 3D printering shit, but it is good for doing cheapshit or big shapes.
