Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

A Steam Deck with stock pricing in Mexico.

A phone that runs Linux, has decent battery life, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

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).

Water bottle that auto seals and is easy to clean.

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

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Azal@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

A decent brand of tws with multiple lights to indicate the amount of charge left. Also bigger battery.

All the branded stuff have single led with different colours to indicate charge percentage and also if paired or not.

I don't want to remember fcking rainbow to know all the features.

You can easily get a case with an optical drive slot if you just get an older case. You can fit an older case with more modern components just fine. My current PC case is from 2017 and has an optical drive slot (which is fitted with an optical drive—though I'm afraid I've not used it in years...)

As for laptops with ports, they're out there but you may have to either get an older one or pay more money annoyingly. I wish it was standard for laptops to have ethernet ports. My modern, fairly mainstream trend-following laptop has all the other ports I need (USB obviously, HDMI, and 3.5mm headphone jack).

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.

Strubb's pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can't find them in any local grocery store.

Along these lines, if anyone craving Altoids sours of yesteryear, cracker barrel actually sells the spiritual successor.

A two monitor vga kvm switch

A wall ac that fits a sears sleeve or floor ac that uses a 220v plug, or an indoor swamp cooler that refrigerates the water, or an indoor ac that vents heat up since I don’t spend much time on the ceiling.

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.
