I've been trying to find a way to build a smartphone/computer w/ internet access despite zero infrastructure for years (since 2020) and now I finally figured it out: take electrolyte gel (made from saltwater + flour, or crushed electrolyte tablets + baby oil as stabilizer) impregnated inside a hollowed out plexiglass substrate, drill four holes in the back of it and four holes in the circuit board (made from cardboard + graphite + foil) and solder it to the board using a homemade soldering gun (made from a candle consisting of a bottom half soda can + vaseline + a shoestring dipped in Baby Oil, lit with a wick and soldering gun made from a nail + pencil wood + electric tape, and solder from aluminum paperclips, making surr to keep the tip red hot), then wire a TI-83 calculator to the board and script a text-only Linux terminal interface to the electrochemical ionic 3d processor and place it inside a flat screen TV w/ hardware killswitches w/ keyboard (made from foil switches), accessing the internet offline via a custom chatGPT-style AI Q&A bot you scripted to pull results from the web for you without having to be physically connected to internet or go through the pain of hooking up packet radio (which even then it would be similar to a terminal browser) using a hardware killswitch to swap between TV and computer (note that you can't wire the TV components to the computer and expect anything more given how the "CPUs" in a TV work and how they're more integrated into the board). Any thoughts?

It'll run off RISC-V architecture btw. You could install Gentoo terminal on it too.
