Stumbled across this thing a while back and thought it looked really cool but I have never been able to come up with an idea for how I would use it so I haven't pledged.

I want to want it but I fear it would just sit on my desk. Does anyone have cool ideas for uses?

I kinda wish it could be used like a smart phone with a GSM module.

On the bottom of the website, several use cases are mentioned. It is a fairly robust list of examples.

Anything with USB-A is neat with this type of device. For example, a LimeSDR USB would work (even a uSDR for M.2, though I'd wait for the successor).

For Kali, I sport a GPD Pocket 2, and that works well, but I'm in the process of switching that to my Hackberry Pi CM5.

Still, I bought that end of last summer. I honestly would not buy any computer right now. The RAM prices are simply insane.

It’s not exactly cool but mobile media server and tool box. Knowing I have tools I can trust in my pocket is nice. Being able to travel and watch my shows without setting up a vpn is double nice.

I made a really cool cyberdeck. It sits on my desk.

Lol, Cyberdeck aka high effort paper weight.

There are so many cool vaguely scifi tech projects one could build these days but almost none of them have actual utility. : (
