Awesome, but nothing will ever beat Defcon 3, where we duct taped the doors shut on a FBI/NSA van and then ordered them a pizza. That was hilarious * 10. You have no idea.

@Corr0sive Well I assumed an OLED due to the fact that it maintains its screen without power

[Corr0sive]

@AICorp Probable just a monochrome-ish LCD. OLED would be extremely expensive for this.
