maple classic™ 
i want to mod my pocketchip to make it less standard but idk what to do with it and electronics cost money
like i guess built in audio would be nice
things are several times more expensive to me than the average person because i don't live in north america
and moving to north america is impossible because that is, also, prohibitively expensive
it's a catch-22
@squirrel built-in audio is apparently really easy and cheap to add to it
GPS might be interesting but the modules are pricey
Chucking some EL wire in the back to make it look cool might be nice
@troubleMoney the problem is that anything in module/kit form i want to buy would have to be imported
@squirrel with the speaker mod I think the only thing you'd need to get hold of is a 3W amplifier, the rest can be salvaged from other gear
@troubleMoney yeah, the problem is one small enough to fit the case
@squirrel I think the guide on the website is for PAM8403 modules, so that's probably the thing to look for
Don't suppose aliexpress is any good for your neck of the woods? They seem fairly plentiful on there
@troubleMoney Sure if I wanna wait 2 months to see if I'll get the order or if I should try ordering again and waiting another 2 months
@squirrel fair point, that is the issue with china post
@troubleMoney well i found a single supplier i could buy some stuff from, bought the audio amp, plus an arduino nano and a level converter so i can use some ESP modules i bought a long time ago, instead of dividing between several suppliers
hopefully everything gets here
@squirrel awesome, may the postal service be good to you
at least modding a pocketchip that i already have is cheaper than building a full cyberdeck with an expensive raspberry pi but it also feels less legitimate in the cyberdeck department
literally 90% of my anxiety and stress today is because of money isn't it
