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

A direct clone of the Switch JoyCon that works seamlessly on PC and PS5.

A version of the ASUS ROG Flow that is about 20% lighter and has about 50% better battery life when not in dGPU mode.

A version of the MiSTer and/or Analogue Pocket with RetroAchievements support.

Yeah, I'm a weird gamer.

I can't imagine wanting joycons over an xbox controller for my console/controller gaming but I guess someone was bound to love the joycons lol

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

Well, your wrists don't try to murder you if you keep them bent at an angle for too long, I suppose. Human hands are different, and mine really like having two separate controllers instead of holding just one thing.

But also, the JoyCons are pretty awesome, I find the separate button d-pad very reliable and I don't have a problem with the size at all, so even if they weren't healthier for me I'd love to have a set that works natively on PC.

You should try getting into VR gaming!

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

I have multiple HMDs and controllers. The original Vive controllers are maybe the least ergonomic thing I own, and the current standard does not feature a full array of face buttons.

Plus, obviously, they don't work on flatscreen games. So yeah, no, the JoyCon is still the best controller out there right now, VR knuckles included.

GalaxyGamer, (edited )

You can use the Joycons with a PC using One of these

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

Wait, how does that work? 8bitDo's dongles are very confusing in terms of which one goes with what, but none of the ones I have, either standalone or bundled with a controller, seem to have a mode on PC to pair two joycon to a single controller.

GalaxyGamer,

Apparently you can’t with the 8bitdo adapter (sorry made last post while half asleep) meant to link the mayflash NS2 which actually can pair both joycons

will link that here and change previous link in case someone comes across it later

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

Hm. I have the NS1 and that did an OK job using my fight sticks on Switch, but I don't think it did dual JoyCon on PC. The store page doesn't mention that explicitly either.

I may give it a look, but if you have video evidence, a review, a tutorial or something I'd appreciate that.

GalaxyGamer,

Looks like this shows it working with both joycons on a miniature laptop on the ns1 youtube.com/watch?v=aJU606gw-NM&pp=ygUVbWFnaW…

From the comments under the video these look to be the instructions to pairing both joycons to it

HERE IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO:

1: Go to the Green mode.

2:Press the button once or twice untill the green led on the mayflash blinks really fast.

3:Hold the power button and the “hidden bumper thingy button” that is FURTHEST away from the controller until the controller either stops blinking or resets the lights. Do this for the one of the two controllers.

4:Repeat step 2 and 3 for the other controller (as in press the mayflash button until it blinks really fast), you will notice that the paired controller has shutdown and you can now do 3 to pair the other controller.

5:Press the mayflash button 2 times again so that it goes into fast blinking ( now all controllers have shutdown ).

6:While blinking press the power button on the LEFT joycon. Wait for it to pair with a solid green LED.

7:The mayflash must be now solid green and the left joycon too with the right NOT connected. GOOD … just press the mayflash button again so that it goes into SLOW BLINK and when it does hit any button on the RIGHT joycon AND IT WILL PAIR AT THE SAME TIME AS THE LEFT. CONGRATS

Well, I'd say I'm bummed out that I didn't figure out this was an option before, but I'm pretty sure those are the instructions to reach the Holy Grial as well, so maybe it's reasonable.

I'll give it a try if I can remember where I stashed that thing.

cabbagee,

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

utopiah,

I’ve done it few times (with Google Glass, Glass2, Vuzix Blade, Monocle) relatively easy to do but the latency IMHO is what makes it unusable.

cabbagee,

Ah that’s frustrating. The XRAI looked promising, but it’s bulkier than I can wear and my phone isn’t compatible with it.

pr0927,

Something extremely modular and upgradable like the Framework, but with a 4K 120Hz HDR OLED display, that can fold back into 2-in-1 mode and that has connectivity for full bandwidth of an external GPU. Additionally, some way to connect to up to 3 displays at full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth (each) - at least - DP 2.1 would be even better. Maybe via multiple display outputs or some insanely-high-bandwidth port like Thunderbolt 5 for dock connectivity.

The intent is to basically have a tablet-to-laptop-to-desktop experience, with virtually no compromises.

shaggy,

A single remote that turns on my PC and TV

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

Oh, forget the remote, if the stupid device connection systems between consoles and TVs managed to not do the exact opposite thing to what you want 95% of the time I'd take it.

Although robust HDR support on Windows would also do it for me.

Bishma,
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I have that. It also controls my lights, thermostat, and cameras.

It doesn’t turn on my PC but it turns off the outlet its plugged into. And it could turn it on with something like “wake on lan”

utopiah,

WebThings (or Home Assitant) with Zigbee plugs and Zigbee (or BT or WiFi, whatever) button remote, it exists. Otherwise can use your phone to control those too.

A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Those exist!

They're called "lapdocks".

lapdocks

TIL

variants,

I’ve been wanting to make my own cyberdeck based off my phones dex and parsec to my VM but currently I just use a small USB hub to a kvm so I can switch between my work computer and my phone attached to a monitor but it’s not cool and portable

erogenouswarzone,

How about a wireless lapdock for my desktop, so I can have the processing power in mobile form.

SpaceNoodle,

Slap Linux on a cheap craptop and SSH into your desktop

TheButtonJustSpins,

I love my NexDock 360! I mostly use it as a mobile screen for a Roku or as an interface when I need to set up bare metal servers.

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

utopiah,

PineTab 2 RISC?

Illecors,

The PineTab2 is PINE64’s successor to the original PineTab Linux tablet computer, featuring a faster processor and better availability. The tablet is available in two configurations, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

I don’t want a tablet and I don’t want pathetic specs. Take a flagship XPS and shove a RISC-V cpu into it. That’s what I’d like.

I feel like the latter is more likely

MrFunnyMoustache,

The second one is something you can do if you are willing to do it when you build/renovate a house and it would not be hard to build if you don’t mind a project… Get a compressor, a long hose to run through the walls next to the water pipes, and plug the hose to a nozzle. If you feel fancy and have enough money hire a machinist (or make it if you have the skills and access to the equipment) to make a custom drying tool with a wide and thin nozzle for the compressed air to reach your body, and a handle to turn it up and down. This would allow you to dry your body in seconds.

It doesn’t fit the “instantly” if even a few seconds is too much, but if you really want to do it as close to instantly as possible, a nuclear bomb will definitely evaporate the water on your skin within a millisecond… along with everything else.

A Flashdark

Weirdfish,

I want a small snowboard, like 121 cm, similar to the old rossignol mini, but wide enough for my big ass feet.

I rode the mini for years with my feet pointed outward over 45 degrees and ended up doing a lot of damage to my knees.

I pretty much only snowboard in the midwest US, and want something that feels more like a skateboard.
