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.

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

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.

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.

Water bottle that auto seals and is easy to clean.

A Steam Deck with stock pricing in Mexico.

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.

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.

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 driveβ€”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.

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)
