On: Full AMD Ryzen PC in a Folding Mini Keyboard

[ISV_Damocles]

The suggestion to use AR glasses with this keyboard computer feels very Ghost-in-the-Shell cyberpunk to me. Stepping onto a train and you find some guy with glasses sitting near the train door staring blankly at other passengers while typing furiously on the keyboard. Looks a bit creepy. After a moment it's revealed he has an AR display and he's writing an email or whatever.

...why do I feel nostalgic for a cyberpunk dystopia?

We seem to have ended up with the dystopia, but not the cyberpunk

> writing an email or whatever

The only certainty is that email will never die

[ghaff → tambourine_man]

Nor would I want it to. It's a great medium for messages that may or may not be important and that, in some cases, I want to archive.

[tambourine_man → ghaff]

I love email, but like SSH to Telnet, we need a 21st century version.

[seabass-labrax → tambourine_man]

I think IRC would slightly enhance the cyberpunk aesthetic, and is likely to give strong competition to email for the 'eternal communication protocol' contest!

That would actually be seriously cool though.

Even with a full-sized VR headset I'd be willing to spring for it.

Keyboard? Why no TapXR bracelet instead?

[alchemist1e9 → Tepix]

Have you tried using it? I’ve read it isn’t so useful.

Very Hiro Protagonist gargoyle vibes.
