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.

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

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

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.

Instachill, microwave oven for cooling.

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

A mute button for people.

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.

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.

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

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

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

nano dentist chews

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

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 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.

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.

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 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 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).

Faster than light warp engine of some sort.

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)

A brain implant that I can store a short memo in. I have a very bad working memory so it would be incredible to somehow store lists/numbers longer than 4 items in my head without hacking it by whispering the list to myself over and over.

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.

If nobody else wants it, I guess I'll claim the time machine. With a money printer on the front, please. Thanks!

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.

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.

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"

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

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.
