What's the cheapest, most portable, least pozzed outdoor computing setup?

A defacebooked Quest2 with a minipc, keyboard and airmouse or something?

Not interested in gaming. I'm thinking about breaking up long walks with some sitting, lunch and imageboarding. There are no outdoor tables here, just benches, so a laptop wont work. Don't really want to be hunched over a laptop anyway.

Anyone do non-gaming VR or AR outdoors?

Is a quest2 a good portable computing device just because it needs less power than a laptop? If privacy concerns could be addressed ofc.

They purchase data and use browser cookies to correlate data people put on to the internet and construct mostly accurate profiles based on the metadata that seems to be connected.
So for example if you use the same emails for amazon and youtube and then watch certain videos or buy certain products their system uses the data from those views and purchases, notices they're both connected to the same email address, and then constructs a marketing profile based on the accurate assumption that the same person is behind both accounts and the purchasing/viewing patterns therein.

https://www.washingtonian.com/2022/08/24/this-dc-area-high-tech-toilet-startup-wants-to-solve-the-public-bathroom-problem/
>User IDs are part of Throne’s accountability system: After you use a restroom, you’re asked to rate its cleanliness. Meanwhile, each user gets a “Throne score,” similar to Uber, and repeat offenders who abuse the restroom will be blocked. Weight sensors also track if someone’s been in the bathroom too long. “Very few people create issues in [public] bathrooms, don’t respect that amenity, and then ruin it for the majority. Most people really want and value that clean experience and will leave the bathroom as good as they find it,” Heinzelman says, adding that user IDs are a way to “create the accountability that is currently missing in the shared bathroom space.”

"user id accountability system" is one of those phrases that makes me really question why, exactly, "accountability", which is a buzzword which is thrown around to justify all kinds of mutual overwatch, has become something so constantly harped about in the modern context.
at a certain point "accountability" stops being something which is done on the basis of being accountable to a specific community, or a specific social group, and more something which is done solely to create an informational panopticon of paranoia for the benefit of power.
when people say "[x] needs to be held accountable]" - to whom? by what process? why does this entity, who is the fount of accountability, have this power at all? or is it just this vague gesticulation at a Big Other, aimed towards neuroticizing us as people? and who is that Big Other? in this society, in this capitalistic society, if you are appealing to the Big Other, you are appealing to this ideal form of being - this ideal subject of the contemporary society - against which all human beings can only be seen as lack.
if tech startups can justify operating their paid, user ID'd public toilets using the language of accountability, if all sorts of harassment campaigns and inane arguments are justified because of "accountability", you have to wonder if this all isn't deliberate mutual paranoia.

Meh, a self cleaning toilet is way superior to this.

The surveillance-toilet is inevitably going to look like a poop explosion, because un-doutably somebody will go "challenge accepted" and find a way.
The toilet won't function when the server that's controlling it has something wrong with it, and then people will get fed up with it and rip out the locking mechanism and replace it with a simple mechanical slide lock from a normal toilet.

I want to remake Jurassic Park Operation Genesis but with better graphics and a map editor like the Clash of Clans mobile game. I want to make is easy to port to other devices. Basically a simpler version of CIties: Skylines.

What game engine/library should I use?

I also plan to make it open source so maybe it should be written in a popular language known by many.

I currently have zero knowledge about game development.

During the Hong Kong protests there was a lot of mask wearing, but didn't help them. It's mainly humans that rely so much on facial features because it's how we communicate. A computer vision model only has to be trained on datasets with masks and it will encode subtle features we don't notice.
