A high-quality dumb TV.

Get your ads (and security vulnerabilities) out of my damn house.

A high end phone with a headphone jack and Linux that works with banking apps.

The snooze button on my alarm clock needs to actually pause time, so I can sleep until I'm not tired anymore.

Probably all of those devices that can help fight climate change the news keeps talking about at least once a month.

A small and lightweight smartphone with high end specs, especially tele camera, and a privacy respecting OS such as GrapheneOS

You know how Ctrl+F helps you find specific words in browsers? I want that in real life.

Maybe some special glasses with this ability built-in?

does this count?

I would love to have an open, hackable, linux-based eBook reader.

Just an open source e-ink device with the build quality of a Kindle. Nothing fancy.

A sleeping pod for home.

Imagine as you go to sleep it is perfect temperature for you no need for open windows or extra blankets. You just turn the dial and it adjusts it or maybe it even have a curve so that you love for it start cold but wake up warm.

It is pitch black, no need to try block out any light.

It completely soundproof even if you live middle of the city. But it also have speakers just in case you like something in background as you sleep.

A house hold device that can diagnose most sicknesses with a drop of blood or saliva

Niche, but I want it. It would look like a blank book, with pages that feel like paper. I'd be able to download whatever text I wanted, and read it like an old fashioned book. You'd be able to change the text as many times as you wanted to.

Instachill, microwave oven for cooling.

Empathy cannon.

I want an extremely low power laptop for programming. Slow processor, e-ink screen with a low refresh rate. I want 24 hours battery life with a solar charger to sit outside and program.

screws that don't strip

A mute button for people.

nano dentist chews

you just choose a flavor and chew; it fixes everything after baby teeth

I want an orbital laser weapon that targets people who drive like insane maniacs or raging assholes.

I want a mid-range phone with a great camera and a telephoto lens.

I don't need no AI bullshit, I don't do gaming, I don't need 32 gigs of ram on a phone.

I just wanna take great pictures.

I would like a flagship spec (especially RAM, give me all the RAM possible) phone with a small screen and a massive battery life; sacrificing other components to put a big battery. One small camera is enough for me, I don't need 3 cameras on the back of my phone. I would also get a small, single speaker to save internal space, and remove the haptic system entirely in exchange for a larger battery.

I wouldn't sacrifice the headphone jack though, I hate using dongles.

A reverse microwave. I can heat a cup of coffee in 30 seconds, I want to chill a beer in 30 seconds.

Devices with a week of battery life. I don't care how low spec they are, I want to be able to go a few days without having to worry about charging.

A modern smartphone (good battery, screen, etc.) running an alternative OS (like Linux or OpenBSD) with the ability to run Android (or iOS) apps I unfortunately need to use.

I recently switched to a Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS and while it's nice, I still really hate the locked down nature of Android (and iOS).

A small screen phone with Linux OS that I can plug into a docking station and use it as a desktop pc. It would replace all of my devices.

A device to allow me to spread cream cheese evenly on a bagel without getting all over my fingers.

I'm thinking some sort of rotating bagel mount with a silicone tapered spike.

I’d like a digital personal assistant actually designed to help me keep track of my day to day stuff, rather than one designed to steal and sell all my information.

Literally just an android phone, but it comes pre-rooted and one of the system apps is a scripting language, similar to how the TI-83 comes with TI-BASIC. It's bullshit that we're carrying these powerful super-computers everywhere but with less user empowerment then a mid-tier calculator.

(yes, I know you can root your phone and install termux and python but I want that to be the default)

Faster than light warp engine of some sort.

Something that lists my tasks automatically and displays them in order in my HUD like an objective icon in a videogame. Could be made combining goblin.tools with smart glasses or AR glasses.

This would help me a lot. I have ADHD and a bit of executive dysfunction, and having a constant reminder in my vision would help me staying on track of what I need to do.

A display with a transparent screen and then behind the transparent screen is an eink display.

When I wanted the eink mode the screen goes completely transparent and only uses the eink display. When I want a full colour high resolution display the ink goes black and the transparent display displays the colour content. Best of both worlds.

If transparent displays are cheap enough that they put them on fridges at the supermarket, clearly they've come down in costs enough for consumer electronics.

Since we're just talking fantasy: a device that can scan my brain and tell me exactly what medications would help me and be able to issue my a prescription without having to talk to a million doctors.

An American high speed train. Also, a machine that instantly dries you off after a shower.

I just want an affordable 10" color e-ink ebook reader, that has natural colors, so it is good enough to read modern comics on.

Edit: I forgot to mention "affordable"

A television screen you can turn on and off without the remote. A mobile phone that has buttons on the back. A magic stick that can send my husband to the cornfield when he won't leave me alone.

Privacy-respecting thought-controlled AR+VR smart contact lenses that correct my eyesight, block out UV, can somehow project sound into my brain, overlay people's names and basic info when I see them and don't remember (or make me remember thanks to the brain interface), and let me browse the internet and work on stuff without using my hands because RSI :(

• Microwave freezer
• Feature phone with all of : keypad, high-resolution screen and camera, headphone jack, dual sim, WLAN, reasonable RAM, and expandable ~memory~ storage. I can find phones with some of these, but not all.

Edit: I knew what I meant /s

Robot that could completely clean my house while I'm at work.

That would save me so much time.

Bonus points if it could also cook healthy meals.
