What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find? (lemmy.zip)

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 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.

I want a Japanese ketai phone with android 10+, easily rootable, AND HAS A DAMN TOUCH CRUISER. They day Sharp decided to stop making flip phones with touch cruiser is the day innovation truly died.

Or an e-ink flip phone, that would be pretty cool.

I want an open source cellular baseband chip. That's the chip that acts as a networking connection to cell phone towers. Not only would the drivers be open, but the hardware as well. It might be a little larger than most, as I would want it to be possible for users to dismantle it (destructively, of course) and verify against tampering.

Bunnie Huang's Precursor was a good start, but it lacks networking (as far as I know)

(Are crowdsourcing links allowed? I'm not going to link to the crowdsupply page, just in case, but it is more informative)
