A true virtual reality. Not goggles, but the kind that hooks up into your brain and consciousness. One that's indistinguishable from real life. The kind where you can basically just live your entire life in some kind of a virtual multiplayer where quite literally anything is possible. You could be hooked up to an IV that feeds you optimal diet etc. go off the deep end if you want.

I know how it might seem crazy to see something like that as a desirable thing, but I really think it would solve many of the issues in the world. I don't think you're "wasting your life" if you're being happy in a virtual world, and I don't see a reason why you couldn't be happy there. You could have your own private world(s) and others would have theirs. There would be public worlds also with a ton of real people aswell as AI, and people could visit your worlds aswell if you let them. Just think about the possbilities. Why ruin the planet when you can have abundance in the virtualverse.

A RISC-V laptop that's not an engineering sample. Something like a dell 9370 sort of thing.

Gender dial, so I can turn it either way and get instant results.

Give me a normal good smartphone with a 100mm OLED display that I can use with one thumb and I'll never have another want in this world. The iPhone 4 was fine

1. A very cheap smartphone that is decent performance-wise and comes with Lineage, Graphene OS or something similar.

2. A machine that can turn thoughts/dreams into video, image, or other mediums.

Star Trek Industrial Replicator...Star Trek has never really had an episode that explored the magic of what you could do if you had a replicator. Just having ONE, would change the world overnight, and forever. I'd start replicating replicators and handing them out.

Regular looking glasses with live captioning. We get close but it always seems just out of reach.

A lightsaber

Okay.

Laptop: I want a ~13 inch laptop with a nice keyboard, a decent trackpad, and a quality 1080p LCD screen, with a very efficient low power ARM processor akin to a Raspberry Pi running some well tested flavor of Linux, and the rest of the machine is just battery. Something that can do some web browsing, some word processing, spreadsheet, let me use bash and vim and ssh and such, that doesn't suck to use because it's "for early adopters and serious hackers only." Like imagine the machine you'd get if the Pinebook Pro legitimately cost $600 rather than $200, is what I think I want.

Phone: I want a 4.5 inch phone with a physical slide-out keyboard that has modern, performant internals that can smoothly run its own UI plus reasonable web browsing and communication/text app capacity. It should be able to play 720p video from the internet flawlessly (this would be a perfectly fine resolution for the screen) and it should have at least 4000 mAH of battery. Any camera from any phone I've owned in the last 10 years is acceptable.

Audio Equipment: I want ANR over the ear headphones that provide enough ANR and/or PNR that I can use them as hearing protection in the wood shop while I'm using my planer or router or whatever, that work perfectly well over normal bluetooth, that have all physical button controls, no touch sensitive whatever, and do not have any kind of app.

Monitor replacement glasses, like NReal Air, that actually are a good enough replacement for my second screen to allow a full day of work.

A DVR but for dreams.

A modern electric compact truck like the 1992 gmc sonoma.

Firefox OS

A fairphone with the specs of the ROG phone, or just a repairable rog phone.

a 4k 240hz oled monitor

LFP phone batteries.

a gaming laptop that doesnt overheat constantly ,mine goes up to 80c when im playing overwatch of all games

I would like a smart stove. One that you can set to turn on and off remotely. No more worrying that I left the stove on. Why not I ask you? Why not?

The smartphone that I allways remember missing the most is the Nokia E7, it was such a cool phone.

The design is beautiful, the physical keyboard was amazing, sure Symbian wasn't the fastest or the most modern OS, but with Anna and later Belle it worked well.

I remember sitting in the lobby of a hospital with my E7, I ran Putty Touch on it and was connected to my friend's SSH server, and had connected to my irssi screen session, I had configured touch gestures to scroll in the IRC chat and to switch irssi windows based on if I swiped up/down or left/right, the physical qwerty keyboard made the phone look like a tiny laptop, and I felt like such a hacker.

I was working a job I hated, but on the way home I would watch movies on the phone, and it worked so well.

It was an awesome phone, and someone else thought so too and it was pickpocketed, a year after I got it.

A phone like that is what I want

ARM devices with general available and useable drivers. I want to install Linux, Android, Windows on any ARM devices fast enough in a similar way it works for x86 devices.

Tony Stark's glasses with a compatible, programmable AI. And a pony.

An unbreakable device that can transport me to any world or time I want It has the be light, small, and not suspicious-looking, and I need to be able to transport the device to me at any time. The things that happen during my visits would not actually affect reality, but instead it would kind of create an alternative universe.

So if I went back in time and killed some historical figure, then returned to this reality, they wouldn't have been killed by me. Or if I went to the fictional world of a book and killed some character, it would happen in a different reality that the one the book takes place in. (otherwise I would have a constant fear of fucking up the entire universe.)

And, of course, I would have to gain the ability to understand, speak, write and read the languages. Also I would have to be immune to diseases they spread and they would have to be immune to the diseases I spread.

Or maybe I have to be a little more humble and say that I want a robot that could clean my room and put all my items in the correct places.

An updated Samsung Galaxy Note with a quality stylus (Similar to the one for Note 2), and no bloatware that cannot be uninstalled.

Samsung always has tonnes of bloatware, and the newer Note styluses are (and feel like) cheap plastic. Give me back the aluminum stylus, ffs.

Something like the Gvido E-Ink tablet for working with sheet music, but without all the proprietary bullshit and closed software.
