What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?
-
A phone that runs Linux, has decent battery life, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
-
Fractal Design's Pop cases have a 5.25" bay. It's hidden behind a pop-off panel at the bottom, in the power supply basement.
-
I might struggle to make it the size of an iPod Touch but that's not difficult to build out of a Raspberry Pi.
-
Why couldn't you just use a custom launcher? This isn't a hard task.
-
That's cool, hadn't really thought about it. Basically looking for a wifi-only device I can install Signal on.
-
My nissan rogue (2014-2016ish) has this
-
You'd get the desktop version of Signal doing it that way.

-
The reason this doesn't work is because Android and iOS limit the crap out of app functionality to allow for battery optimization. On Linux, users (and apps) do whatever the crap they feel like (and that's a good thing, until you talk about battery).
-
Nah. With an Android device, you can install the Signal app (it's even on FDroid now). You'll need a phone number to register it, but just to receive the code. Could be a mobile number you have, a landline, or a VoIP (ie, jmp.chat) number-- as long as you haven't already registered for Signal with it.
A Linux device could pose some difficulty, but I think there is progress being made on running Android apps.

Suorin have some user-replacable battery models

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
-
Yeah I usually think of the Raspberry Pi as a box for running Debian on.
-
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.
-
Diesel too?
-
They have these for bikes, I've not looked too far into it, but maybe that would work?
-
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.
-
but that depends on the vendor. highest chance to do it is with Monero, even considering that basically no one knows it
-
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
-
A small android smartphone with good software support
