What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?
-
the battery thing is real. I basically can not find a laptop with weak/low power cpu and igpu, but a huge battery. I get that we can not do more than 99whr, but for weak stuff, I can not find anything above 50 practically.

Toilet that posts updates to Facebook

There are plenty of portable second screens for laptops now. But it seems weird you can't just hardwire a second laptop without having to resort to internet based screen sharing solutions.

A way to easily remove dust and debris without busting open the tower

An drone that act as an ambrella

An app like Shazam but that shows me : this is the song you played and these are the songs it reminds you of because the melody is from here and the vocals melody is from here etc. I am mad that every other song reminds me of another but I cannot check which one it is.

if you're saying what i think you're saying you may be interested in something like a nexdock
Basically a laptop with no internals that acts as an external monitor, battery bank and peripherals for another device
-
Couldn't you just attach an umbrella to a drone?
-
well, if you carry around a bag anyways a battery bank could alleviate that

Something that’ll let me plug a raspberry pi’s micro hdmi output into either: the usb-c input OR mini hdmi input on an (already-powered) external monitor. If anyone has success stories, I’d appreciate it.

This one I just found last week. I’ve been trying to get my tv on my vpn without having to flash my router with openwrt. It’s a samsung running tizen so not customizable unlike an android tv. I discovered the GL.Inet Mango and Shadow mini routers that come with openwrt pre-installed. Now I have my tv and older devices that don’t support my vpn client connected to it. I can also take it along with me when traveling go use when on hotel or public wifi.

yes, but that is a separate investment

some cheap all-in-ones i've worked on have hdmi in and out.
one of 'em i have here is an old atom celeron dell aio with 1600x900 native screen but on its hdmi input, it'll run at 1920x1080. and yea, running that instead of its true native res sucks about as bad as you think it would--but it is still 'usable'. the real sucky bit, though, is the pc has to be on in order to switch it to hdmi in.

A low power 17 inch or larger laptop in a sub $1K price point. I have big hands and I use the fuck out of numpad, but i really dont need a gaming GPU or a higher end cpu in a laptop.

Ive heard some people use usbC connecting drive enclosures, could probably rig something up with the backplane from one of those, but yeah a finished product like that would be neat.
I think ive seen a mini-PC with a hotswap m.2 bay built in though?

I don't know if it's possible but it feels like a cheap box for (sata) hard drives would be super useful for people having a bunch of old drives. The only ones I can find are top of the line expensive NAS or DAS stuff for say 2 to 4 large drives, not my 7 drives from 500GB to 2TB...
I use a 5€ sata-usb connector but it's not very practical, a usb hub + 7 of these connectors would cost like 40€ ... Not reliable or anything but it would just need a box!
