Thank you for the feedback! This is still a desktop so if the device is grabbed the power won't stay long. You need NFC to restart and then enter your password. We are still working on opening as much as we can of the design. Bill of Material and drawings will be detailed on www.orwl.org/wiki

If your device is grabbed by the FBI from the Glen Park library, I don't think they'll be turning it off. Wouldn't they use some sort of device[0] to maintain the power supply? I assume they would also be aware a key fob was in use, at least if you were using reasonably well-known hardware like the ORWL.

I noticed the campaign details indicated the power supply voltage is monitored. Will this protect against a hot-plug?

If anyone's wondering, here's the important bit: https://youtu.be/erq4TO_a3z8?t=259

I suppose this technique could be modified for most UK pugs too, but I've no idea how you'd manage it for a recessed EU-type socket.
