Cameras can have different settings from our eyes, plus people usually have two eyes at a distance from each other, while a camera only has one sensor.

The most risky part will be getting proper estradiol powder, but it probably won’t be too bad.

You can follow a recipe for making gel, do know that carbomer can be frustrating to work with, you’ll need to learn how to handle it.

You can also forgo the gel-making things and leave it as a liquid.

You press it with a little bit of force (just to have the finger not slip away) and then move in some direction, the cursor will follow. Usability ranges from “fun gimmick” to “I have heavy gloves, the nipple is my only mouse input”

Older models are sturdy (IBM ones are very robust but are also too old), probably better with replacement parts availability.

Two-battery models, like X230-X270 models (and others) can have a lot of battery power put into them. Mine has 72Wh external + 24Wh internal, and I can hotswap the external one, so if I want to I can buy a second 72Wh battery to style on everyone else.

Generally good Linux support, but do look specifically how well whatever you are buying is supported.

edit: the models I mentioned don’t seem to have magnesium alloy chassis, so while they might look like a close range weapon, you probably shouldn’t use them that way.

OnePlus 6/6T has great support (which means that it is missing camera and USB power output functionality and is more unstable than desired), isn’t locked down too much (you need to backup some partitions and you can go ham after that), and is powerful (it is a 2018 flagship phone with Snapdragon 845) - it is currently one of the best options for mobile Linux. It has good enough support to even boot Windows.

There is postmarketOS support for op6, yes, but I am firmly a NixOS cultist. Plus there’s a one-year-old blogpost on this topic.

Right now I am trying to make some nixos boot on it, which I can use as an installer.
