Why can't they make a tablet to last 16 hrs of battery power before recharging? Is it even possible? We're living in 2019 now. The
technology should be there. It would be great innovation.
I don't know what you are talking about. The last 3 tablets (about 7" tablets) have all had battery lifes > 16 hours.
I plug it in when I go to sleep, unplug it when I get up and use it all day (say 6am-10pm). At 10pm, when I plug it back in, the battery is still at about 40%.

Well my IPad 9.7" is only 10 HRS MAX and the Microsoft Surface Pro is also the same.

They could. It would weigh 6 pounds and no one would buy it.

The Microsoft Surface Pro is basically a full Intel x86 64-bit PC. Naturally it's going to drain the battery faster than a typical ARM-based tablet with an OS optimized for mobile use.

Well that idea just went down the drain then. No BBS I guess. *sighs*

You could always leave the power cord plugged in.. For a BBS, you're going to want the machine on and available all the time anyway.

You'd just have to run it off the mains. BBSs aren't intended to be mobile.

Yeah I could do that. But I would ruin the battery though.

Why not just buy a cheap thinclient PC from Ebay like I did?
my BBS runs on a HP 5741e 4GB ram and I threw in a old laptop 500GB hard drive I had laying around, I bought a monitor mount from ebay for $5 and it runs on the back of my monitor out of site.
PC cost me $13 so Im in less than $20
and the thinclient is fanless so makes no noise.

Because of what you said, having to leave it plugged into wall power all the time could damage the battery..

If you mean just mobile around your house, that would probably be fine. But if you're running a BBS on a tablet that you take without you outside the house and various places, it may be hard for people to connect to the BBS because its public IP address would be changing a lot when you're carrying it with you to various places.
I think it's best to have a BBS on a PC that you can leave at home running all the time, and you could use the tablet to remote desktop into your BBS machine and interact with it that way. If you don't want to have a PC at home running all the time, you could look into having your BBS be hosted in the cloud (and I'm pretty sure you could still remote desktop into it to work on it). Marisag here on Dove-Net does some remote BBS hosting, from what I've seen.

He's got serious drug problems and the whole time he's ran synchronet he wou pop in and pop out of activity. I'm not even sure if he's alive.

I remember a few bbs's in the 90's that ran on laptops and would post what phone # they would be at on other networked message forums. I don't recall the reason for why they were mobile. Maybe they were brought to/from work?
Maybe they were trying thwart phone tracing?
Dunno. I just remember a few. It seemed like a neat idea back then.
