Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?
1·2 months agoA lot of dumbphones have pretty small screens. My Light Phone II is about half the size of my old Something-Or-Other brand smartphone.
But if you want a small pocket supercomputer that can make calls, someone else already linked to https://www.unihertz.com/

Firefox@lemmy.ml•[RESOLVED] How can i see the file size of a page, counting media?
3·6 months agoThat’s exactly what i was looking for. Thanks. I mostly want an easy way to make sure none of my web pages are too big, so looking in Developer Options makes sense.

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•What's the best way to get a flat map from a physical globe?
2·11 months agoI’m currently working on that second option, since it seems easier than trying to trace shapes on a paper cylinder around my globe. Thanks.


A few things.
A laptop with 2-way HDMI, so i can plug it into a game console and use it as a small TV. Note that i’m aware that HDMI might not work like this.
A wearable soundboard with speakers and batteries hidden in my pockets, and controlled by chorded buttons in my shoes. Use cases include crickets, canned laughter, the Seinfeld theme, and audible air guitar riffs.
A handheld computer that:
A music player / DAC that:
Somewhat ergonomic keyboards in laptops. I know split keyboards are hard because the screen has to be about as wide as the keyboard, but i’m sure there’s a way and i intend to someday prove it. I know we can do better than typewriter shaped keyboards with QWERTY by default, even ortholinear boards would be an improvement because layouts can be done in software.
An electric notebook with a touchscreen that instead of using OCR to turn handwriting into text, stores handwriting as vector graphics as a middle ground between OCR and images with huge file sizes. Probably with a slider for how much to simplify lines, and an option to select areas of a page to convert to text via OCR so you can still have diagrams and doodles alongside plain text that’s easy to export and edit.
A device like a generation I pokedex, but for real world animals and plants. This one probably won’t happen because stuff like this is only done as smartphone apps anymore, not as standalone toys.
HUD goggles that are the display of a full portable computer.
And there’s more stuff i want to exist that doesn’t fit the question. Software (why hasn’t anyone mad a 3+ D spreadsheet program?) and non-technical products.
