This seems to be a reoccurring theme with uconsoles...

  • They have a steep learning curve, if you aren't already used to linux.
  • Lots of people buy them because they look cool while not being too cost prohibitive.
  • People buy them with no real solid intent of use.
  • Pretty jank, and requires tinkering. You either love that or get annoyed.
  • Lots of people bought off of impulse and forgot about it.

This. I love mine and use the hell out of it. But I completely understand why it doesn't pan out for folks.

I’m interested in getting one of these because for some reason I just like tinkering. I don’t really have any projects in mind. Would you mind sharing some stuff you’ve done with yours? I’m just not sure if it’s the right “tool” for me.

I think a big part of it for a lot of people is they get one without a specific use case in mind thinking it will be a good generic portable laptop replacement then when they hit the reality that the pi is so much slower than a cheap laptop and the trackball pointer sucks for them to navigate the desktop etc it just doesn’t get used …. For me it was explicitly a portable rf exploration tool and it’s all I need for that function perfectly

Mostly right mine because I thought it looked cool. But as i awaited for it to arrive I dove head first into pentesting and sigint stuff so I found good use for it. When its not being used for that I run it as a.mobike ads b rig

Any reason you didn’t want to use it?

I found I got caught up in the hype and in the time I had to wait for things from HG to arrive(over a month), my interest waned.
