This dude built an airboat using small(brushless?) motors and drone rotors hooked up to a car/boat battery and welded to a tiny steel boat. I could see a bunch of these tooling through the canals of some high-tech concrete shithole somewhere.

Just ran across this thing too. Apparently it can be built with regular bicycle parts. Add a 3D printer and some basic know how and it probably wouldn't be too hard to make stuff like Carbon Fiber fairings and some lights. I think it'd be schway to jack one up on a suspension system as well.
Seriously chuumers this is the kind of shit we should be talking about on this board.

i hate the whole "is this cyber?" thing. but if its not internet connected its not technically cyber. it might be a neat tech thing, like the bike courier thread, but cyber=cyberspace=internet

Cyberpunk existed long before the internet, so no, you're wrong.
Cyberpunk relates to noir-esque narratives and aesthetics in a world of high technological complexity, as well as questions of machine conciousness and where the line of man and machine rests, or if it even exists at all.
Despite what most of the shazbots here think, cyberpunk is not about hacking, or coding, or class struggles. It predates most of that shit.

"Cyber" is only one part of "cyberpunk", so if we take "is this cyber" question literary…

and the "cyber" part of cyberpunk refers not to "cyberspace" but to cybernetics.

the writing did not happen before the internet, but did talk about the internet actually
"cyberpunk" by bruce bethke 1980
"neuromancer" 1984
creation of internet started in the early 60's
in "cyberpunk" they do access the internet, as they do in "neuromancer". the "cyber" prefix in both cyberpunk and cyberspace refers to internet connectivity.

disagree. while some cyberpunk works deal with this, notably GITS, the original works do not deal with this, only with lowlife's hacking shit through the internet

I recently finished reading Solaris. While it's not cyberpunk, I recall the telecomms/computers guy (not like it matters because everyone in that ship is capable of doing things way outside of their supposed areas of expertise) was called the "cybernetic". In fact, cybernetics, by its literal definition, would probably refer to the Internet, rather than implants and shiet.

No, cyber is about connections. It's the literal definition of cybernetics. Cyber refers to the Internet.

You're too heavily focused on the label and modern interpretation. Look at Asimov's Robots series. That stuff is the epitome of cyberpunk long before the label of cyberpunk was ever a thing.

How about building a wifi controlled surveillance tank? It has an IP camera that creates a web server so you can control from the internet.
Upload some aircrack tools and drive it around, adding discovered wifi routers to a gps map. Once you have your whole city networked you could build a wifi plane to quickly survey.
…or maybe use a 5g modem instead to keep things legal.

I dig the concept chummer, but it would be a bit of a pain. Better IMO to build an encapsulated drone of some kind that flies. better access to difficult terrain that way as well.

Who doesn't want a Wifi router that they can configure on their own?

You don't need an RPi for this, many routers can be flashed with OpenWRT.>>56691
