There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.

Should easily kill a week.

Coconut at least...

That's a legitimate concern, but this can be easily mitigated by routing "guest" traffic into a VPN.

Guests might encounter more captchas than usual but better than no internet.

Wäre es evtl eine Option, direkt aus der Bubatzkarte OSM-Notes aufzumachen? Dann könnte man die potentiellen Datenprobleme auf OSM-Seite angehen.

That feature is right on the border between real neat tech and deeply unsettling.

"Hey, my phone uses its last few electrons to turn into a bluetooth beacon to stay findable" sounds like sci-fi "reserve power emergency mode"

"I can't turn off the locator chip in a device that holds half my life and memories" is just dystopian.

I'm wondering if there would be a way to keep it useful while minimizing impact for people who stay off the grid. A hardware switch would probably be a good start but they won't fly with current all-touch designs.

Ah, you "work" in "marketing"?

Zur besseren Findbarkeit: Es heißt "Lateral" with Tom Scott, von lateral thinking - Quer- oder um die Ecke denken, aber ohne die Konnotation, die Querdenken seit Corona hat.

Du hast den Sanis gesagt und das wanderte weiter? Stand da der Freund und Helfer daneben, oder halten die nix von Schweigepflicht als Mediziner?

Yeah, nearly the same here. Brouter-web for planning + overpass queries to find infrastructure POIs (drinking_water, supermarket).

On the go: OSMand installed via F-Droid, following the gpx track or routing with brouter on my phone.

I've got a routing profile for following designated bike routes (luckily quite plentiful in Germany) and one that concentrates on good surface conditions for bad weather set up in brouter that are bound to two different profiles in OSMand.

I'm switching in and out of the cycloroute style on OSMand. It's useful for planning, but on the bike I'm not used enough to it to interpret it at a glance.

They occupy a strange niche full of contradictions.

Entering the code on the device itself should increase security as opposed to entering it on a compromised computer.

But plugging it into a compromised computer means the data is compromised anyway.

Their security is way harder to audit than a software solution like PGP. The actual "encryption" varies from actual decent setups to "entering the code connects the data pins with no actual encryption on the storage chip"

Not having to instal/use software to use them means they are suitable for non-technical users which in turn means more support calls for "I forgot the pin, it wiped itself, can you restore my data"

They are kind of useful to check the "data is transported on encrypted media" box for compliance reasons without having to manage something bigger.

Is that a reference to Angleton?
