Portable envy is envy (nonfiction) which has been removed from an individual, and stored for transportation and later experience.
Early versions of portable envy exploited vulnerable components on circuit boards.
Manufacturers initially substituted cheaper components to save money during the Capacitor plague (nonfiction) years.
Subsequently, pirate manufacturers have released knock-off circuit boards with built-in portable envy features.
Portable envy devices are popular black-market items in many prisons, despite efforts by get-tough wardens (and, in some prisons, self-regulating prisoners) to forbid ownership or use of portable envy.
In the News
Capacitor plague affects several brands of portable envy devices.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Prison, converted from yeast cells to a high-security prison for supervillains. Note the fluorescent green security doors, where prisoners are inspected for portable envy devices.
Theologians announce that Envy drove Cain to slay Abel.
