Cyberdecks used to look like little laptops, but now they’re getting more personal

赛博终端（Cyberdecks）过去看起来像小型笔记本电脑，但现在它们变得更加个性化了

DIYer and TikTok user Annike Tan, who goes by @ubeboobey, can carry her cyberdeck around without anyone noticing because it doesn’t look like a computer at all. Tan, who has been featured in The Cut and Wired, went viral earlier this year with a mermaid-themed cyberdeck she made inside an old purse. She has since upgraded it and built an MP3 player and a solar-powered cyberdeck. DIY 爱好者兼 TikTok 用户 Annike Tan（网名 @ubeboobey）可以随身携带她的赛博终端而不被任何人察觉，因为它看起来根本不像一台电脑。Tan 曾被《The Cut》和《连线》（Wired）杂志报道，今年早些时候，她用一个旧手提包制作的“美人鱼主题”赛博终端在网上走红。此后，她又对其进行了升级，并制作了一台 MP3 播放器和一台太阳能驱动的赛博终端。

Tan and countless other DIYers are attracting millions of views showing off the personal computers they’ve built inside purses, jewelry boxes, toys, and old tech, hiding Raspberry Pi boards inside art projects. Tan 和无数其他 DIY 爱好者通过展示他们内置于手提包、珠宝盒、玩具和旧电子产品中的个人电脑，吸引了数百万次的观看。他们将树莓派（Raspberry Pi）主板巧妙地隐藏在艺术品之中。

Cyberdecks, but make it fashion

赛博终端，也要讲究时尚

The colorful, quirky builds popping up across social media are a drastic shift away from the typical look the cyberdecks we’ve featured have had, which often consisted of a 3D-printed chassis or a rugged box like a Pelican case, usually with a cyberpunk-style design. 社交媒体上涌现出的这些色彩斑斓、古怪新奇的作品，与我们过去报道的典型赛博终端形象大相径庭。以往的赛博终端通常采用 3D 打印外壳或像 Pelican 箱那样的坚固外壳，且大多带有赛博朋克风格的设计。

Inside, these homemade devices are essentially mini Linux computers for specific tasks, usually done offline, like reading, journaling, or listening to music. But now, a cyberdeck doesn’t have to look like a computer at all. 从内部来看，这些自制设备本质上是用于特定任务的迷你 Linux 电脑，通常在离线状态下使用，例如阅读、写日记或听音乐。但现在，赛博终端已经不必非得看起来像一台电脑了。

This new movement emphasizes using recycled or thrifted parts and leans more into the artistic side of making a cyberdeck. One TikTok user who goes by @diypagancrafts created a cyberdeck out of a retro TV-themed purse with the screen on the outside and the Raspberry Pi, keyboard, and a game controller stored inside. Almost anything with enough space for a single-board computer and a screen can be a cyberdeck — a Dunkin’ Donuts munchkin box, a Pokeball, an Altoids tin, a plastic box stuffed with fake moss and flowers. 这一新趋势强调使用回收或二手零件，并更倾向于赛博终端制作的艺术性。一位网名为 @diypagancrafts 的 TikTok 用户用一个复古电视主题的手提包制作了一台赛博终端，屏幕位于外部，而树莓派、键盘和游戏手柄则存放在包内。几乎任何有足够空间容纳单板计算机和屏幕的东西都可以成为赛博终端——无论是 Dunkin’ Donuts 的甜甜圈盒、精灵球、薄荷糖盒，还是塞满了人造苔藓和花朵的塑料盒。
