I want a Japanese ketai phone with android 10+, easily rootable, AND HAS A DAMN TOUCH CRUISER. They day Sharp decided to stop making flip phones with touch cruiser is the day innovation truly died.
Or an e-ink flip phone, that would be pretty cool.

Camera-less small phone with a keyboard and an IR blaster
A IP68 e-ink Linux phone with both wireless charging and induction charging (to charge other devices), no cameras at all, solar panel on the back, usb-4 and headphone jack, 1TB storage , 15'000 mAh battery, two separate WiFi cards (to allow simultaneous hotspot and client use), and finally a radio transiever for both short range comms and long range AM and FM radio.
Technically possible with current technology, but as far as I can tell, completely unavailable in the consumer market.
Price, size and weight are irrelevant for all usecasses of such a product, as far as I'm concerned.
I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.
Little retro games handheld with a clamshell oled display
Just wait for Anbernic Rg45XXV, which should be a few months away given the rate they put out devices.
The catch: it still uses H700 chipset
A small android smartphone with good software support
Folding screen eReader....it would be extremely niche, but I want it
Recently heard about RePebble, so my complaining about smart watches may have to end
Holy shit. Thank you for bringing pebble to my attention.
No problem, have been on the search for a good replacement for a few years.... Ever since destroying mine on a door frame when carrying a heavy box
I miss my pebble time
How low-tech is still tech?
I want a device that can be armed and if moved without being disarmed (optional passcode) will set off an alarm.
This is both for my laptop when working in public spaces and for my cooler/food bag when camping.
Knog does these for bikes.
They have these for bikes, I've not looked too far into it, but maybe that would work?
Is a truck tech? Fuck it I'm calling a pickup truck tech.
I just want a pickup the size of a 90s ford ranger that's a hybrid. Since I'm making it a unicorn, lets go 4wd
Lol, I'm gonna say no as I posted in a technology news community in response to news about Tesla trucks not being tech news just by virtue of being Tesla or musk related. OP was not happy.
That's fair. I'm less interested in the swasticar and more I find it's the only thing out right now that I can't find an appreciable workaround.
I'd like that but full electric, minimum 500km in the "tank" I had an all electric vehicle and LOVED everything about it, except the range. Then eventually I needed a truck for my job (but I did cram my Kia Soul to the brim for the 3 years I had it.)
I'd buy a hybrid though, if that's what was available.
It's why I like hybrids. I have a tendency to sometimes end up at least an hour away from an electric plug for a few days or so.
Diesel too?
Nah, I don't need diesel. Lets be honest at hybrid it'll do the job just fine as is.
Basically I want the kind of pickup truck that I can toss a few 2x4s in the back and go, doesn't have to be big, doesn't need a lot of hauling power. Which is the opposite of the way trucks are going nowadays, which are big as fuck and made to tow the fucking world with the shortest damn truck bed that I've watched people struggle to get a tv into because the bed is too short.
Ahh, the olโ breaker breaker
