How is it different than the company making fake rhino horns to flood the market to fill the demand and reduce harm to real rhinos?

I think that's quite obvious. You say that as if there were alternatives.

Are there any other, more convenient techniques to defend against evil maid attacks?

Thinkpads have a little switch under the bottom cover that will get flipped up when the cover is removed. There is a BIOS setting to require a password whenever this switch is toggled. When combined with signed BIOS updates it seems like it would be hard to bypass on a short term (like an actual "evil maid" attack).

I bet people would pay good money for a Framework display module that's usable eInk. (Assuming it can use the same display connector.)

Its really nice that the language of that era still informs and inspires designers today.

I have a small collection of ClockworkPi toys, most recently a couple of uConsole's, and they are delightful reminders of an aesthetic that still lingers on, in the minds of those raised on computers-as-life.

The cyberdeck guys are going to continue this, I just know it. I hope we see an Epson HX-20-esque re-imagining of the ClockworkPi somewhere along the line ..
