Here's my review of the A.C.I.D Cyberdeck computer. If you're looking for a system for the end of times, this is a great device to consider purchasing! In this video, I go over the A.C.I.D. and compare it to other devices, such as the GRIDBASE Base Station, as well as the CarbonComputers Dell. While this device is based on a Raspberry Pi, it still packs a serious punch.
Overall, this Internet-In-A-Box (IIAB) approach is amazing, but it does have a few issues. Let me know if you have questions about the device!

I don't know how much that hardware costs, but it doesn't seem that expensive, and that software is pretty much all free I mean it's cool that someone sells this, but it just seems waaaaay too expensive, and I've seen much similar devices with more features built for much cheaper.
Definitely can be built for MUCH cheaper. The main selling point for it is that it's a pre-built package. The biggest barrier to entry for devices like this is the time associated with learning how to build it. FPV drones are currently experiencing the same market change; previously, you could only get into the hobby building a quad yourself. Now, it's commonplace to buy pre-builts for any expertise.
I do recommend for those who have soldering and technical skills (as well as time and a little bit of programming might help), to just build one yourself! Though, if you're like me that is fairly busy and rather just trust someone with more experience to do it, then I might recommend a pre-built.
@@josehnegrete well but one of the points of an apocalypse pc is actually the 3d printed parts. Stuff will eventually break so preferably you want a package that can easily be fixed and printing spare parts as long as there is power or even just having the stl files is kinda in the same line of thinking. F.e. often cyberdecks have often redundant connections if something fries so as long as the SBC survives you can salvage everything. But great video though keep up the good work :D
@@hinnifreaxxx i agree with all of that! redundancy is important. I would say that having 3d printed parts isn't great. rather, i would prefer having parts that CAN be 3d printed in the future. nothing too complex, durable so you won't have to worry about replacing but replacableif you need them to be.
@@josehnegrete yeah so having the stl files / a blue print would be nice. I saw someone building a cyberdeck with wood in a pelican case which is basicly the opposite side of the spectrum. Personally i wanna build one eventually that has a lot of connectivity runs a small linux package has all the info that yours has and has some redundancy basicly so that if it breaks you can repair it if it fries you can make a new one so maybe a system on an SD card makes most sense.
Some people don't have access to tools, hardware stores, and the extra space to create one from scratch. Doesn't mean they can't make it theirs through customization. Building a gaming pc will always be cheaper than buying a triple A gaming console.
To me nothing I've seen on youtube is really a cyberdeck. I always imagined a cyberdeck as a keyboard, 75% keyboard sized with a small screen. You take it with you and instead of using a screen you use trodes and your conscioussness goes into cyberspace. But for our modern purposes a powerful mini PC built into a 75% keyboard case. That works with a type of VR glasses would be perfect
I'll be building this atop a SFF Dell Optiplex soon. My thinking is: By using a machine that was mass-produced and can be found in a myriad of offices, spare parts will be in no shortage. Maintainability is just as important as the information inside, because if you can't maintain the machine, the information is at constant risk of loss or damage. I'm basically sacrificing light weight and small size vs your design, in exchange for longevity.
Ooooh I hadn't even thought about maintainability. That's a great way to go about it.
DevTerm Kit RPI-CM4 Lite is going to be my doomsday cyberdeck. Runs off replaceable 18650 lithium-ion batteries. At $279, it's a great deal.
NEAT. I’m guessing you just gotta make sure it’s in a safe case (as all cyberdecks need), but it running on 18650s is a huge deal.
Doesn't look hardened against EMP. All the main documents could be stored on a series of solid state SD cards as backup and the primary on a solid state SSD. The whole thing could be done with a debian build on a low-power config, perhaps with LORAWan networking gear available for post-apocalypse networking.
Avantgarde Labs, the creator of the device, does a faraday bag that fits the device to protect against EMPs. I would love however yes, if backup memories were provided in case of data corruption.
Outside of that, I thing having LoRa would be a perfect improvement to this, as other devices such as the Base Station mentioned do provide this.
Bro, EMP is as good as fictional. Although it is possible to make one, having a good range than can effectively damage electronics would require an insane amount of energy to produce and a crazy huge coil size. This is exactly why you never see this weaponized anywhere in real world.
And its very easy to counter - a simple faraday cage will protect any electronics inside.
@@randominternetviewer166 there are specific yield nukes which can be configured specifically for EMP burst, AFAIK China has an unknown number of such devices but others probably have them as well. Chinese doctrine apparently mentioned conditions under which they would be used - this may include intentional infrastructure destruction to power grids and communications infrastructure, probably mainly focused on civilian disruption. If they had "hot war" against a near peer they may be tempted to use them
Because people casually get hit by emp bombs daily
@@rebcommando587 oooh dear - that's the approach and attitude I definitely and wholeheartedly recommend to any of my competitors indeed.
FWIW - EMP is a weapon whose use is within several military doctrines already, that it's not been widely used yet tends to reflect a lack of conflict with a high-tech opponent; it simply reflects the lack of escalation of conflict with such an adversary to date. I am aware of Chinese PLA doctrine (discussed in their military forums as a way of quietly publishing threats to near peer adversaries) where they mention the use of a high altitude EMP warhead over India for instance; to obliterate national power and communications and data infrastructure which industry there intensely reliant on for their offshoring and outsourcing industries alone.
But back to the core of your point - how many situations have you had, say, this week - where you've had to live off-grid isolated from the internet and reliant on a stored cache of expertise and knowledge to survive? Has it been, say, half a dozen times given it's already Saturday?
where can i download all of the information and articles that he has on this?
Good review! I kinda like the DIY versions a lil bit more for the tech savy! Hope yah make your own survivor cyber deck.
Currently learning to one day do my own :)
niceeee. u motivated me to build somthing similar out of my new pi 5
NICE, best of luck :D
Love the video man truly underrated
bro this comment got me the energy to post more, THANK YOU!!!
The Emperor and the Tech-Priests would like to have a word...
my personal stc
Please correct me if I'm wrong but KIWIX is not an OS, the raspberry pi 4 should be running its own Raspberry PI OS, formerly known as Raspbian OS, KIWIX on the other hand is an application. Maybe the developers made the configuration on the OS to boot directly into KIWIX sort of like a KIOSK mode but those things could easily be changed and make full use of the OS. Has the SD Card been soldered to the Raspberry PI? You could easily replace the SD card with your own build. All in all, I find the construction of the unit top notch, the simplicity and minimalism of it looks gorgeous. The ABS plates laser cut, the 10 inch touchscreen display, the high quality buttons. Please help me out here in determining what the issue with the device that impedes using the full capability of the OS, thank you.
@@LuisGonzalezConrad so kiwix installs as its own OS I believe, but it’s based loosely on raspberry OS so it still has limited command functions. At the moment, it does boot as a KIOSK mode.
The sd card is not soldered, so it can easily be replaced! I am actually currently running regular Pi OS in it and using it as a daily driver backup :)
Is it emp proof?
So does the “nothing can be added” include thumb drives/ usb sticks?
So the device essentially runs it’s own “O/S”, which doesn’t allow new info or devices to be added. However, the device internally is just a Raspberry Pi. I’ve since taken out the SD card and installed regular Pi OS, which DOES read and allow you to access thumb drives through the extra USB ports. The issue is that, regular Pi OS does not have the survival material pre-installed (though it can be found and downloaded online fairly easily), and it also requires disassembly of the device’s front screen panel. Overall, it’s a cumbersome task to constantly change USB sticks (and to even make it to where they’re even be able to be read in the first place)
All well and good until you actually have to recharge this thing. In an actual apocalypse scenario, I won't expect us to have a lot of access to electricity - so this becomes unusable in a couple days. A better design would be, to have foldable solar panels built in with adequate power output that can recharge it full in a couple hours. And another good addition would be some access to receive radio signals.
There's definitely space in it to hold items inside! I would say that I don't LOVE the idea of having built-in solar panels. What makes them effective is surface area, which this device doesn't have. I definitely would consider solar panels, but having them stay static or in a pack where they can be accessed when needed, but put away when not.
@@josehnegrete yup. Exactly why i said "foldable solar panels". 7-8 inch 4pcs pannels should be sufficient enough to recharge it.
with a bit of basic electrical knowledge, you can make a usb C to 12v DC cable with crocodile clips. connect the clips to any car battery (no shortage them) and get the battery recharged. Buy some foldable solar panels to recharge the car battery and you have power for at least a couple of years.
Wouldn't it be possibe to just build one instead?
This is cool. If one has to be portable this is a nice solution. I meet this need with a small library of books. The books aren't that portable, but I'm living where I can stay and don't need to travel.
Definitely agree if you’re not moving, this isn’t as necessary. It’s a solution to a portability problem, though the built-in battery bank isn’t a terrible idea to have at home for charging items in a power outage.
I would definitely recommend you try and build your own, with all of the missing functionality you mentioned. Also look into local AI LLMs like llama2 or gemma. It would be a great learning experience and make for a great video!
Language models sound so freaking exciting, but I know I'll fail. When I was in high school I had trouble in the electrical section of my automotive class. In college I had trouble with comp sci 1 & 2. I will let other more experienced people figure out the details so I can make subpar review videos online lol
Question, what's that ai llm thing you mentioned?
@@mdredheadguy1979 a "local language model", so something like ChatGPT but run on my device.
@@josehnegrete oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
The base station now features LLMs
The real value in this product is the stored data. Not the OS, not the computer and not the packaging. It's an interesting idea worth exploring further: I imagine a FOSS project that will bootstrap a basic OS for you and pull all data from the web. And on top of that the user should be able to define their own sources. And it should run on any PC. That way it's more flexible and detached from any hardware. I am a firm believer in the Unix philosophy: do one thing and one thing well. For example a user could buy a Panasonic ToughBook, a Jackery PowerBank along with solar panels and some external SSDs for back up and would have a more flexible, powerful system that's devoid of a single point of failure.
From my understanding, Kiwix OS runs also on window, Linux, Mac, etc. The issue here is that the raspberry pi device is limited to certain repositories, meanwhile the PC OS versions have full rein on what they can install (assuming there’s a .zim file for them). I actually installed a zim reader on my personal computer, so I also have huge amount of info saved there.
Well played, sir.
🫡
You could definitely sell this to nature reserve guards, independent journalists going to warzones (or just people in war-prone areas), and geeks like me
Definitely just in the geek category myself lol
I don't see how this would be a better alternative to simply getting a rugged tablet like a Tab s4 pro and simply downloading kiwix onto it. The value comes in the information, and the information is open source. You could copy the kiwix database onto any smartphone and it's just as usable. If anything, the tab s4 pro would be superior because it has the ability to run it without a battery allowing you to connect it to any third party power source without the need to worry about battery failure after 5ish years.
I think the prospect of having it in a pelican case makes it essentially weatherproof and one less thing to worry about. If not, then a rugged dell laptop would also be just as useful
What ram can you upgrade to?
@@DBCooper3 can’t upgrade ram :(
The only thing I would have done differently would be to make the case metal to shield the electronics from EMP.
I know a lot of people are making quick faraday cages for their devices with copper lining. That’s for future me to figure it out lol
did you EMP-proof it tho?
The owner of the device sells a faraday cage for it! I've just been too busy to buy it lol
While I think this is a very cool laptop, I’d honestly recommend picking up something like a Panasonic toughbook cf-19/18. They’re very cheap used, like 60-100 dollars, have easily replaceable batteries and hard drives, touchscreen (cf 19), gps, and are relatively weather proof. Overall a very reliable laptop for very cheap.
Those toughbooks are great! I just liked the full waterproofing of the pelican style cases, but I did mention those laptops are killers and are a great consideration when looking at the ACID.
I dont see any for that price, as much as I would like to
Good. But you need a faraday cage for the EMP that comes along with modern nukes. All that’s moot if you don’t protect it
Avantgarde sells a faraday bag that fits the ACID on their website; just found that out recently :)
Make sure you reinvent pen and paper first, because in 20 years, those capacitors will start failing.
Thats a massive oversimplification. For one, the plague of unreliable capacitors that we tend to think of was largely due to specific manufacturing defects. The Xbox clock capacitor is known for failing, but playstation capacitors of the same age are more reliable for instance. For two, capacitors tend to wear out more if they aren't used/charged, i.e. any device that you're actually using will last *_far_* longer. For three, the 10-20 years estimate is like most dates and undersold, heavily weighting harsh, high temperature conditions compared to more favourable ones. You can buy laptops from 2001 that work fine even despite being kept in pretty piss conditions electrically. (Battery left at 0%, caps left at 0%, likely left in some dank basement, etc.) For four, different types of capacitors have wildly different wear rates. Electrolytics are the more infamous ones, but those are growing increasingly rare in consumer electronics. (Its entirely possible there isn't a single one in this entire box, though it probably does use them in the power supply it may not
) For five, if you're really concerned its not that hard to stock extras, though be mindful of proper storage procedures if you do since, again, electrlytics wear *_more_* when left uncharged. For six, harvesting caps from other scrap devices is always possible. For seven, if you're genuinely of the belief that you wont have any other computers more than two decades on then at that point your concerns ought to be cancer, congenital heart failure, etc. Even benign things like diaherra are killers without modern developments, so when you're pushing retirement age without any medical care that should probably take priority. For eight, printers exist.
If there are any issues with this its the lack of proper wired connectivity for file transfers and backups to and from other devices, not cap failure.
If anything, the battery bank would likely fail after a few years. Though to be fair, it is a fairly easy part to replace in the build :)
If I manage to survive post-infrastructure-collapse with this for more than 10-20 years, I should have built up enough skills by then to not depend on it for survival anymore.
Maybe I'll replace some parts every 10 years or so if the grid hasnt collapsed yet and its just been sitting in my bugout bag.
But this shouod really only be necessary for the time period immediately following collapse; it's not a long-term solution and shouldn't be seen as such
How much drop proof?
@@DBCooper3 top scared to check with my one copy, would need another one to check lol
A little confused what's wrong with 3d printed parts other than maybe the aesthetic
Mainly aesthetic, but also for their durability. Due to the way the layers are placed, and depending on the material, it's really not a good idea to use 3D printing for longevity. 3D printers are mainly for prototyping, not manufacturing.
There is unfortunately a 3d printed part in this device, but I forgot to talk about it in the video :(
Why not run kiwix on a smaller second pi, and connect a larger pi to it with it's own apps?
Also, I would prolly try to use a numpad as the keyboard to save space. You know like them old phones without the keyboard.
@@euroclydonftw9676 That's a good consideration, and I'm tempted to try it... I guess my biggest worry is that you add more points of failure with a second pi?
@@josehnegrete With a single pi, can you download info with a flash drive?
@@euroclydonftw9676 idk to be honest with you D:
Nice, but should use a METAL case! Why? If you truly use this for its intended purpose, then EMP might be a factor and a closed metal box is a good bet for shielding computers!
Would it just work if it was completely metal?
On the thing about maps, try Organic Maps
You can also build your own Cyberdeck to suit your needs? I didn't even know prebuilds were a thing?
@@jameswalker199 The last time I tried a cyberdeck project, I got frustrated and the project sat on my shelf for 2 years before I gave it away for parts. I will definitely look at organic maps!!!!!!!!
Is this model based on Pi 5 or Pi 4?
Pi 4!
@@josehnegrete thanks for the video and thanks for the reply. Hopefully they're working on a pi5 version
@@phillipperez3358 the creator is sending me some parts that he considers an "upgrade". We'll have to see how those perform!!!
@@josehnegrete sweet. I'm looking forward to it. I subbed
what of an EMP occurring would it survive
The creator does sell a faraday case that fits the device on his website, which is linked in the description! From my understanding, that will survive EMP :)
only issue with these devices is they don't have integrated solar charging
@@ChandravijayAgrawal seems to be a universal critique from most comments
@@josehnegrete biggest fear is power grid going down, battery >> knowledge, but on second thought in defense of these devices, people "can" make solar panels or alternate sources using guides from this device before ifs battery runs out, but during such apocalypse, even potatoes will be sold for much higher prices (since it can generate mild electricity) let alone solar panels, then if you have these 2 things, you need to protect the device and charger, so you will also need some trusty weapon to defend your place, that should be also included in this kind of package
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that there is very little that this device can do that can't already be done way better with a smartphone.
Phones are a marvel of engineering; screen, battery, power management and charging circuitry all integrated into a tiny package that is rugged and extremely reliable.
They are also small and cheap enough that you could easily have one or more extra devices as backup.
You would be much better off filling that Pelican case with a couple of your old phones, some portable chargers, and a bunch of flash drives and microSD cards containing backups of the data.
Throw a mini keyboard in there too if you think you will need one.
This cyberdeck is cool, but it is little more than a Fallout fantasy.
I think the whole point of this giant suitcase is the huge Wikipedia back-up inside it. Really, think of this luggage-looking thing as a local encyclopedia, compared to a website that you need internet and an internet-capable device with a battery, just to access it.
@@Pickelrye That's my point - you could put a local copy of those files on a phone just like you could on this contraption.
You can get 1TB microsd cards now, and you can also supplement with an external SSD if you feel you need more than that.
Wikipedia (compressed articles with no media) is 22.14 GB.
There's just nothing this device can do that can't be done more reliably with a phone, at a fraction of the size, weight and cost.
Essentially, this thing IS what you described.
The Pi board is about the size of a cellphone. You can easily copy the files from the current SD card into others for backup. From there, you mentioned adding a keyboard which this already has, and portable chargers, which this is currently running but you can always add more. The device has space inside for upgrades, but you are mentioning the exact same thing, just a stripped-down version of it. I like the ACID because it's easier to read material off of it than a iPhone; it's the same reason people buy Kindles over reading books on their mobile devices. Screen size and ergonomics are great. Yes, I will definitely still have my phone on me when SHTF, but in the meantime, I think this ends up being a good alternative. There's nothing wrong with the phone method you described! But yes, some of us like the cyberdeck Fallout fantasy, especially since all roads lead home :)
@@josehnegrete It just seems to me like it would be less reliable. I am a big fan of the Pi; i was an early adopter in 2012, and currently own about 15 of them.
The Pi itself is very reliable, but when you cobble something like this together, it's not going to be a finely tuned package like a phone. I'd rather take out the guts of that case and just fill it with several identical phones.
Don't get me wrong, it's really cool, it's just not what I would want if the s really did hit the f.
You may want to get a cheap rugged laptop i purchased a Getac v110 installed a 1TB hard drive and purchased a second battery. The laptop cost me $120 usd then I spent another $200 on parts and I have a good tough laptop that is core I7 with 16gb ram and able to do anything I need.
Definitely thinking about just doing this lol
Needs a solar panel topper
100% agree!!!
Ahoy! I built something like this for my server cluster 3 pi cluster built in BBU 5 port GB lan 4 TB drive and IP 68 water resistance no screen though :) its more like a server for the end of the world
I built mine from scraps and 3d prints and a 15 usd for fake pelican case from china happy to show if i can send you a small video :)
it runs website/ streaming/file sharing/network hosting wifi dns/dhcp and so on and some projects :)
cool video :) thanks mate
This is what most people do I feel like, especially if you use Kiwix. Backup servers for the end of the world can be lifesavers.
@@josehnegrete th-cam.com/users/shorts70jGsivx4zI?feature=share here is sneak peak :) but i have issue with heat management, i can only run for like 9 hours completely closed :) before i start getting overheating issues. but you know not easy to solve with out water cooling loop. i wonder how acid does after 9 hours or so ? i don't see any vents there.
Those Dell rugged laptops seem a bit expensive. I picked up a 7404 i7, 16gb for about 250, threw in a $50 1tb SSD and dual boot Windows 10 and Kali on it. Of course if you're not technically inclined and have the money to burn, sure, go ahead.
Definitely for those not technically included. I had a rough time just installing Raspberry Pi OS lol. Even though I got it to run, I couldn’t imagine installing triple boot OS, cyber tools, and .zim repos :(
nice entertaining video , thumbs up
Thank you so much!!!!!
There is no ‘triangulation’ anywhere in GPS. Everyone please stop misusing that word. The word you are looking for is either ‘trilateration’ or multi-lateraling.
There!
My OCD has been assuaged.
Ahh my bad!! Thanks, yes I will be using trilateration from now on :)
If we could put ubuntu or even kali on this... DUDE...
Dream machine
Sounds like a cool concept, but without having an open operating system is dumb.
Yeaaah its a super limiting factor :(
@@josehnegrete better off with having a solar panel built into the lid, huge powerbank in the bottom and a cellular (for gps) 2tb ipad (with keyboard case) with all the maps and books you need preinstalled. Could even have shows movies and music to keep you occupied when you have nothing to do.
so on top of it all you can have it behave like a pirate box.. I haven't played with it in years , it used to run on Arch. Information is invaluable but communication is key. You'd have both. Not that you can do that 100 different ways running any webserver and a hot spot. Its the chat, I think is important the average person doesn't know how to operate Software Defined Radio/HAM , so the chat would be more 'survivor' friendly. Since its the end of days and all today. . Better put it in a faraday quick !
This keyboard is not full sized. Taken no account for cooling in hot climates and humid ones for that matter. There are other problems I see with this actually working in a shtf situation. Just as a example of what I mean. My current cyberspace apocalypse ready deck is based on a industrial thin client that has massively over the top passive heatsinks off the shelf runs off 12v power and other more usable and practical features.
I think the Pi runs fairly good even in hot environments; even if, it's generally rated to only throttle to 1GHz, or even 750MHz worst-case-scenario. It's more likely to run hot if it were running advanced programs, to which the ACID has done. Doing read-only should keep it fairly safe and comfortable.
However, I do wish it could run off more than just the built-in power. 12V power is nice! Does it run for a long time on it's own power, or does it always need external?
You can build it for 1/3 the price.
Absolutely. The Pi itself is $45, memory card probably $25, Nanuk case $75, screen probably $50~, keyboard probably $25, battery bank also probably $50-75. I think for those who don't have the tech skills to put it together, as well as want something that's a CLEAN build with good cable management and custom face plates, then this is why you would buy it.
I definitely encourage those who can build it to do so! If anything, you'll learn a lot about maintenance and can customize it to your own liking. I however don't really have the time to spend, since I have tried and failed in the past and ultimately burned out on the project.
just imagine! what if they find it in Mad Max world! Boom 🤯
So you think we will have internet in the apocalypse? 🤣
No!!!! That's what this will hopefully counter :)
Books exist... I think people fail to remember that computers, internet, etc was not common place 30 years ago... we did fine.
yeah but we also had a lower life expectancy lol
@@josehnegrete True. If the cyberdeck can do medical infrastructure as well you are on to a winner.
Our life is expectancy in the US is declining, new technology doesn’t necessarily equate to human advancement.
It's a portable kiosk which, except for the information it already contains, is useless.
:(
Lol ok karen
Technically true.
I mean, it's entire purpose is to be a portable rugged kiosk
Have you heard of books?
books aren't waterproof :(
Well, it's just a rugged case with a computer full of free software like kiwix And the build quality is questionable: i didn't see the internals, and the ruggedness of a computer, especially the impact resistance depends more on internal construction rather than "amateur" appearance of a 3d printed pieces.
I will definitely consider doing an impact resistance test in the future lol
@@josehnegrete I would like to see this, especially if you keep the test reasonable
you're making a big deal about some FREE data on a hd, you can't reload lol
I mean, the data is useful :)
With a 300gb memory card and the internet you can download kiwi and all that without that laptop. I would just get a ThinkPad and a Faraday case. 300gb memory card $60-90, ThinkPad $12-500, kiwi Wikipedia library free, Faraday Case $200+. Plus you can still change stuff on the ThinkPad. Man what a waste of money and its not even emp proof.
I think 300gb still might be a little tiny if you wanted everything, plus faraday cases aren't even that expensive :) But definitely! I mainly wanted this for the cool look, the waterproof when closed, and it being all set up.
FARADAY?
i think the creator sells a faraday box on his website :D
Dude, send it to me and I'll fix it.
@@MichaelJohnson-gm4rt stop pranking me bro😭
get a better pi in it 8 g
Hopefully there'll be an option to just have an upgraded one installed :D
You could have built it yourself for a lot less.
I felt that the brightness of the video was a little higher than it should be. parts of your hands are overblown at times. Maybe reduce the light or reduce the brightness in post editing.
For the script, can I recommend that having a few bullet points as you talk about them will put across the point better. If you can, run the script through some AI to reduce the time, as it seems you were repeating the same things again.
God dammit, no you’re right. I definitely need to reduce the key light. I’ve got a PC monitor that doesn’t reproduce highlights in editing too well, so I always end up guessing. I gotta watch those wave forms!!!!
And yes on the script tips. I’m having issues when I try bullet points because I feel as if I miss things (hell, i missed things on this specific review anyways), so I tried writing full script.
I definitely prefer bullet points more lol
@@josehnegrete I know its nitpicking, but i recently got into photography and editing photos and I have started to notice these things more. any way GLHF.
@@battleforevermoreno I’m 1000% about it. I’m actually a full time professional photographer and I know the only way to improve my work is to accept good criticism, which yours is. Thank you :)
688! LMFAO
there are these things called books . they dont need to be charged
I've also got some survival books and general maintenance manuals, but I think the big reason for stuff like this is the amount of space it takes up is minimal compared to all of the information you can put on it. It's a big reason why Kindles outsell both printed hardcover and paperback combined. I still think classic paper is the way to go in most cases, but I can't carry around a bookshelf most of the time unfortunately. I'll still be carrying one or two on me at all times however.
"Ah yes, let me make sure to grab my 357 different books in survival, medicine, etc when SHTF" 🫵😑
I don't watch TV.
Honestly after I’ve watched this video 10 times, I realized how cringe the intro was and how badly it was delivered sorry :(
No worries, I'm a picky bastard anyway. Good luck. 👍
Topic like this, with the ultra-soothing music, prevents me from watching much of it at all. Thanks
@@kwokallsafe5642 If you don't mind me asking, why does ultra-soothing background music and this topic made this unwatchable? I'm hoping to get better at editing and making videos, so I'm genuinely curious. Sorry the video didn't meet the expectations :(
@@josehnegreteIf talking about "the end of world scenario" - It would be jarring (to me), to have this ultra-soothing music in the background - indicating that everything is ok. Sorry but unable to watch the rest of your video - got to vid-count 3:39. There might have been something really good in there, but never going to see it, or heard it. Thanks for your efforts. There just might be something wrong with me.
You missed it.
The world already ended.
I don’t understand this 😭
Disappointing product. If you really wanted to be prepared for the Apocalypse, wouldn't you be better off with a smartphone which is capable of using a 512gb memory card, load all this data plus whatever else you want, and then you would have it in your pocket most of the time and could even use the knowledge stored in it for every day real life without the need for Google or Apple to know everything you ever wondered about? And once you have your own memory card set up, you could copy it to multiple memory cards for all your devices and even keep a set in a Faraday bag if you think that would really work against an EMP.
Ok smart guy why don’t you make one yourself
If ur gonna complain about a stupid prebuilt cyberdeck, why don’t you learn how to make your own that has all the features you want. I wanna see you do it & im sure everyone else would like too as well
I can't make one because I'm dumb! This is the reason I ended up spending more money buying a pre-built device instead of just building it myself to save money. However, I do believe that anyone can give their opinions on things without having to be experts. I am voicing my concerns in the hopes that this device can improve in future iterations, because I would LOVE for it to perfect on the cyberdeck aesthetic. I don't know how to do it on my own, and I know that when I've tried, I've failed. The video is not to bash on it, but to hope it improves.
