I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
A high-quality dumb TV.
Get your ads (and security vulnerabilities) out of my damn house.
I kinda disagree here - I have no problem using smart lights, etc., as long as they're controlled by a non-cloud system like HomeAssistant. This just doesn't seem to be an option for more complex devices.
Agreed, "smart" isn't what matters, it's more connected and in control, with Internet optional, no proprietary app or weird protocol mandatory.
Just plug a computer into your TV, and never give the TV Ethernet or WiFi access.
FWIW using an Android video projector with VLC connecting to uPnP server, only my video files availble. Otherwise can use its HDMI input but as-is it's all wireless.
A high end phone with a headphone jack and Linux that works with banking apps.
Agreed, sadly not a technical problem but a business one. Unless governments step it I don't see this changing.
Why do you need a headphone jack? Any DAC in a phone is going to be useless if you’re saying because of HiFi Audio. And when it comes to using a HiFi DAC I’d much rather just use a USB-C powered port for my headphones.
iOS is based off of Darwin which was based off of BSD Linux. So was MacOS for that matter.
The snooze button on my alarm clock needs to actually pause time, so I can sleep until I'm not tired anymore.
You know how Ctrl+F helps you find specific words in browsers? I want that in real life.
Maybe some special glasses with this ability built-in?
Pretty trivial technically speaking, you record everything once you get people consent, then you transcribe with e.g whisper.cpp or whatever else you have, search within the transcriptions and generate a link back to the original files, if need be, with seeking timing to double check.
I would love to have an open, hackable, linux-based eBook reader.
Isn't there a project for that is working on that concept?
Edit: Found it! It's called openbook
PineNote exists too, though it's often out of stock. Remarkable tablet has a pretty decent hacking community, and gives you its root password in settings. Kobo devices have been able to run aftermarket software for years, and recently there's been progress in booting a complete OS. If you're okay with Android there are even more choices. @crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com you've got some options!
Now that we're on the topic, an idea for an eCafe where there are plenty of physical books, but you can plug in the reader to a machine to fully download the book so you can read it offline.
I think I want to learn more about coding and find a bunch of leftist buddies and make shit that's actually "innovative".
They've got blast chillers, that are like air fryers/convection ovens, but cold.
A house hold device that can diagnose most sicknesses with a drop of blood or saliva
Just an open source e-ink device with the build quality of a Kindle. Nothing fancy.
reMarkable, been using gen 1 then 2 for years now, runs on Linux and active dev community
less slick and much smaller community but the PineNote also works with Linux, kind of.
Remarkable looks cool, but I was talking about a dedicated e-reader. They probably won't bother because their differentiator is the writing.
There needs to be one that is kindle adjacent, ru s linux, and comes with a ton of selections from project gutenberg, selling a little bit above cost. Thats the only way I could see this working.
nano dentist chews
you just choose a flavor and chew; it fixes everything after baby teeth
I would like a flagship spec (especially RAM, give me all the RAM possible) phone with a small screen and a massive battery life; sacrificing other components to put a big battery. One small camera is enough for me, I don't need 3 cameras on the back of my phone. I would also get a small, single speaker to save internal space, and remove the haptic system entirely in exchange for a larger battery.
I wouldn't sacrifice the headphone jack though, I hate using dongles.
It's been over a decade since I had a phone with an SD card slot, so I kinda forgot they exist, but you're right, this is an extremely useful feature.
Niche, but I want it. It would look like a blank book, with pages that feel like paper. I'd be able to download whatever text I wanted, and read it like an old fashioned book. You'd be able to change the text as many times as you wanted to.
FWIW I'm using the reMarkable 2. It runs Linux and pretty fast eInk for sketching and writing notes. It's not paper but closest to it I tried so far.
Devices with a week of battery life. I don't care how low spec they are, I want to be able to go a few days without having to worry about charging.
Check out the Hisense e-ink phones. Not great if you watch videos, but for normal phone things they seem awesome.
