After spending some time researching portable hacking setups, I finally decided to pick up the ClockworkPi uConsole and turn it into a compact, self-contained "hackdeck." What started as a simple curiosity quickly turned into a fairly opinionated build, shaped by long delivery times, hardware trade-offs, and a focus on practical usability over feature overload. In this post, I walk through the hardware choices, assembly experience, and the modifications I made to streamline the device into something that actually fits my workflow: https://andy.codes/blog/security-articles/2026-06-08-the-ultimate-handheld-hacking-device-hackdeck-hardware.html
