Well the problem is that a small operation like this can't order a custom display module from Sharp, and the back of these is silvered, it doesn't have a removable lightbox. Besides not all memory LCD types can even fundamentally be converted to backlight. Frontlight is perhaps an option.

@@goiterlanternbase "just change the screen" and get a fraction of the battery life. It lasts for as long as it does *_because_* the screen is nonbacklit. Transflective displays take virtually zero power because they only need to reflect light rather than producing it. As in, the Nice!View takes 10 *_micro_* amps and is 160 x 68 at 1.08". Using some quite possibly wrong napkin math, that'd mean a single AA battery could power it for years, even *_decades_* . (2500mah->2500000microamphours->/10->hours->/24->days->/30->months->28.9351... years.) This is the equivalent of looking at a book and saying "ha! can't believe they cheaped out on the backlight here and went with some shitty display technology made of wood". The display is fine, you're just a vampire.

Debian 2.0 came out in '98. Are you referring to just the kernel? No specific distro? I bought the Debian CD form a vendor's desk(imagine that!) because it could boot up, before (and for many distros after) you had to boot from 3.5 floppy, and copy files to hard drive. I love the OPTION of a monochrome terminal, but as a daily driver? ugh

I was once sitting in a waiting room at a hospital high on pain killers with a killer kidney stone when I got an email about a critical failure of one of my Linux systems. I only had my iPhone on me so I had to set up a VPN connection & figure out how to SSH into the system to find out what was wrong. Turns out the system had run out of space due to a log not being truncated. I cleared the log and restarted the services. Still, this would have been so much nicer to use.

A very cool device. Exactly the kind of thing I seem to collect. I'd definitely go for the color screen version, and it seems as though it may be worthwhile to have a slightly thicker case that allows for a higher capacity battery. I have a Lilygo 'T-Deck' and with a reasonably sized case, and having to move the internal speaker, I was able to squeeze an 8,000 mAh battery into it. Which lasts for a *very* long time. Thanks for the video.

It would be really cool to see a version of this (or a competing product) that uses the keyboard, form factor, and square aspect ratio of the Blackberry passport. As many software problems as that phone had, the keyboard and text-centric form factor made it one of my favorite mobile device experiences to date, and taking those elements from it and using them in a Linux pocket computer like this one would be an instant purchase for me (provided it didn't share the few crippling issues this device has).

honestly with modern 3d printing the barrier to make something like that is dramatically lowering. You could use basic micro-switches and resin-printed keycaps (though you'd probably need to find some way to economically paint them in or something) to make a completely custom keyboard formfactor. You *_might_* even be able to use multi-material FDM printing for it, though I'm not certain on that.
