What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?
-
A laptop with trackpad buttons
Lenovo is the only one I can find, and they're above the pad for the nub
-
A media player that isn't just a modified android tablet in a box with an HDMI output. (And loaded with spyware). And doesn't require an always-on internet connection.
-
Something like this ?
If you're wanting a mirrored classic numpad with the bigger enter/plus I am surprised it seems like an unexplored niche of custom keyboard stuff. Can't find any atm.
Could probably grab a numpad kit like this and mount the everything on the bottom of the PCB, but you'd need to do some soldering. On the other hand, that kind of kit is generally recommended as a first soldering project.

I have a GPD laptop with a tiny screen, it’s good enough to run most games. I changed the no name NVMe to a Samsung and it’s way more reliable and faster. Also runs Linux now. Built in game controller works well for most games (shows up as Xbox controller or a mouse using a switch).

Good luck finding anything fanless without being SOC. Though it looks like a Framework would make you happy: https://frame.work/
-
My wife has a circuit machine that’s super tiny, she can put a pen and use it as a plotter.
-
Magnetic audio cable break-aways
-
Excuse me, waitress... I'll have what SHE'S having.
-
what's "large" and what's "cheap"?
-
last i looked at them (some time ago now) they either:
- had very out of date hardware
- were incredibly expensive for what they offered
- the only middle ground model that seemed fitting for my purposes (gaming wouldn't be on that list but linux indeed) was nowhere to be found.
i should probably have a look at their models again in the near future, thanks for reminding me. are you happy with yours (and willing to share which model you use)

I'm reminded of something I saw recently where a guy had a mini old screen for typing, but an e-ink main screen. It was a DIY cyberdeck, and weird enough that I don't think it's useful for you or OP, but I figured you'd find it interesting to hear that your suggestion seems to be on the right track
-
Rootable Android (or Linux) based "mp3 player". Basically an iPod touch. No cell radio.
-
Oh wow, I'm always surprised to hear about the coding habits of prolific devs. So you dont use a local IDE? You run termux and the code in vi/emacs on server?
-
Literally couldn't fall asleep last night, thinking about how much I'd want this and how hard it'd be to neuter a cellphone to make this.
-
I'm amazed I can't find such a thing on AliExpress.
-
I remember the Ubuntu Touch had a feature like that that kinda worked, but they never fully commited to it.
As for doing it through Termux, I'm not convinced that X11 works terribly well in Android for it to reliably extend a display to another screen. I've never tried though, so I could be we way off
-
As someone who's been wanting a boox tablet for a while I don't think they fit "cheap"
-
I think the one I have is called the GPD win max 2011.
There was a choice between the AMD and Intel processors. I think I went with intel to have thunderbolt (I have an E-GPU enclosure if I ever need more power) but it does everything I throw at it.Very happy with it. I can play AAA games, it’s portable, touch screen is nice, has a touch pad too.
Charges with USB-C which is super handy for me. -
I need an ecmascript library that demuxes mpeg when fed individual frames. Every lib just wants to take in a whole file or URL to a stream. I need to filter the websocket sending the data so I need to feed individual frames to the lib. I'm only finding commonjs libs that do this
