Would you buy a computer made of wood for the price of a used car? Maybe not. But you should be glad they exist.

    I remember seeing this project on Reddit a while ago, but I was very confused about why some guy’s wooden cyberdeck got a huge article in The Verge until I got to this sentence:

    One of the people who liked the Mythic I was Max Novendstern, who is, among other things, a co-founder of the crypto startup Worldcoin.

    Ah.

      Haha, totally fair. I’ll admit I hadn’t seen much about cyberdecks and now am a little annoyed by this article. Some questions about the ergonomics on this one for sure, but still worth sharing I suppose.

        Have you seen the origin essay? As somebody into computers, mech keyboards, and woodworking, it’s, uhhh, a LOT.

        Dude needs to find a new sawmill, among other things. $600 is a lot for the wood required to make a cyberdeck.
