Sometimes, certain gadgets speak to you on an intuitive level. They bypass that bit of your brain that demands functionality or value, and make their pitch on pure aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This custom Raspberry Pi cyberdeck<\/a> is just such a device for me. With its rugged waterproof case, retro components switches, and compact ortholinear keyboard, it looks like a computer built for the end of the world \u2014 and I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called the Raspberry Pi Recovery Kit and is the work of Jay Doscher, a maker who shares his projects over at Back7.co<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Speaking to The Verge<\/em> via email, Doscher explains that the apocalyptic theme of the Recovery Kit is as much about aesthetics as functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe \u2018end of world\u2019 scenario is a bit tongue in cheek since the focus would be on food, water, and shelter,\u201d says Doscher. \u201cBut someone could certainly use and modify [this] for their specific scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doscher built an earlier version of the Recovery Kit a few years back<\/a> and wanted to improve on the older design. The new version is constructed inside a waterproof Pelican camera case, with custom 3D-printed parts used to hold in place its various components. These include a seven-inch touchscreen display, internal battery, 5z6p Plaid keyboard, and Netgear 5-port ethernet network switch, with the whole thing powered by a Raspberry Pi 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s even a copper-foil lined cardboard case for the unit \u2014 perfect for the paranoid who are worried about EM pulses scrambling their electronics. You can read more details on the build, including additional pictures and a full component list, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
