Reading through the homepage one part stood out: they burn through quite some laptops. I wonder, perhaps it’s related to their environment? Salpeter is probably damaging the electronics. Consumer laptops were never designed to be out on sea for such extended time.
Now… what could they do about this issue? Assuming this is the root cause of the failures.
- barbs 2y agoI can't find the link right now but I believe they've learned to clean all the ports and keep the laptops in boxes with desiccants to keep them dry
- Bluestein 2y ago> keep the laptops in boxes with desiccants to keep them dry Such a simple solution. Have a special low-humidity environment.-

Use a tablet (it's closed, doesn't suck in air for cooling), ideally a waterproof one. There are also "sealed", splash-proof keyboards, but even if using a regular keyboard, replacing that from time to time is far cheaper than replacing a whole laptop.
