Awesome, you're my hero. I just ordered two of these.

It looks to be using the same Q10 keyboard as a few of the other hacks (i.e. Fairberry[0], but with the addition of the dial/hangup buttons. Are you only using them for the trackpad? Any ambitions for a touchscreen-only variant?

(if so, I've got like 15x of those Q10 keyboards scattered across my desk)

  Achieving the fastest possible boot times with various Raspberry Pi devices

First off - this thing was designed to be a fun hacker toy, not a real product. Buyer beware!

Plan for power management is pretty simple - trim as much fat from OS startup sequence as possible to get boot-times down to ~5s, eg https://github.com/IronOxidizer/instant-pi. Then turn the Pi off as much as possible. Write to screen, turn off Pi. Set timers on rp2040 to turn Pi on periodically.
