Add 3.5mm ports back to phones

>>61889346
they will do it later when they start to go bankrupt

not right now, you need to suffer until then.

>>61889519
one nice standard across the fucking globe and Apple had to fuck shit riiiiight up.

>>61889488
Yeah that's a good one. I used to have the k6000 pro and it was my favorite phone. The thickness just made it so comfy.

Unfortunately a few small chink brands won't shift the attention of the market, especially when the current ones we thought were good folded and for Apple by removing the 3.5mm port. Fucking Xiaomi...

>>61889346
Does she have a bepis?

square shaped phones

Processors that don't have backdoors in them. I get that my boss wants to make sure that I'm not surfing for porn at work, but do I need to have the same chip-level backdoor on my home PCs too?

>>61889773
This would be interesting.

>>61889346
Open source hardware. This would mean open source firmware.

>Better cooling
This.

My Vaio could run shit like battlefield 4 fine on medium settings 900p but it would only last a couple of minutes before the jet engine turned on and everything started throttling.

There was easily room for a much bigger fan and heatsink in the laptop too...

>>61889363
Me too

>>61889346
sell me a video card with no stock cooler preinstalled. I don't want it, it's never not going to be crap, you're never going to get it right. all you're doing is wasting the energy it takes to recycle it and forcing me to spend time scrubbing off your fucking thermal compound which i suspect is actually literally toothpaste.

>>61892581
Does more good than harm to have open source hardware. Ardunio is a good example you can buy pretty much dispoable boards fo $3 instead of shelling out $25 for the official one.
Even though there are cheap chinese clones everywhere Ardunio is still very much afloat

dual batteries for hotswap charging
they would be half the size of pic related for backwards compatility of older batteries.

just add extra pins on the opposite side and flip one of the batteries so we dont have to change anything else.

Single slot graphics cards that don't suck ass.

Personally, all I want from any company at this point is not just hiring for the sake of diversity, but hiring those fitting for the job. So what if a team is full of highly skilled dudes, if it gets the job done, leave it.

Quit trying to censor people

Looking at you (((Twitter))) and (((Facebook)))

Just take the next step and get an atmel ISP programmer already.

There is a standard, it's called Bluetooth

Free speech.

>>61892935
This.

>>61892560
So what do you replace it with?

>>61895614
Probably lower costs so he can add his own in

>>61894048
There's a better standard and it's called an audio jack.

- Make batteries removable
- Go back to having 2 sim cards and a SD card
- Keep headphone jack
- Go back to UIs that have skill.

>>61889346
Make the android boot process faster.
My 5 year old laptop is faster to boot than new phones, why can't we just use systemd?

And make alarms work on phones again.

>>61889346
Fuck me I just want a rugged phone with a battery that lasts 3 days. I don't want it to be 3mm thin I don't care I'm not gonna put it in my asshole

>>61896450
K10000 pro/max

>>61896464
it's 5.5 inches! It's huge

>>61896479
Yeah but it's fine, you're not sticking it in your asshole, 5.5 inch should fit into anything reasonably sized pocket.

pre-install gentoo on every new computer, phone and tablet device

>>61894048
yes I always want to deal with signal interference, audio compression, etc and have an entire bluetooth stack, dac, amp, etc at the other end rather than just pumping some volts down a wire, that does seem to be the better solution

>Laptop
A good keyboard
A robust chassis
A good cursor input
A good screen
Excellent cooling
Water and dust resistance
Really good WiFi antennas
Open source EFI

>Cellphone
Carbon fibre + polycarbonate chassis
External cellular antenna support (SMA, etc.)
>the Galaxy S2 has an SMA connector under the battery cover for this
Really good dual front facing speakers
A good integrated DAC/AMP with load switching for low+high impedance headphones
USB3.1

Hiring should be done on a purely merit based system. Fuck your diversity quotas, just hire the best applicants. If they're all white men, hire all white men. If they're all black women, hire all black women. If they're all shit-skinned clock enthusiasts, hire all shit skinned clock enthusiasts.

>>61892581
They have the plans anyway. Fuckers make everything and make knockoffs of everything else.

>>61896678
Ew

Nvidia GPU switching that works easily on Linux that doesn't need Ubuntu or Mint.
An AMD Ryzen CPU, Nvidia GPU notebook PC with fat fucking cooling vents and fans and a 1440p minimum screen.
Pro Audio interfaces with official Linux support.
SailfishOS actually being good.

natural eybrows where only the unibrow part is trimmed look sexy as fuck. Why pencil eyebrows became a meme? They are repulsive.

I don't think private corporations are as beholden to the first amendment as congress is.

back in the day we didn't mind brick phones. too bad literal faggots and in charge of design these days.

>>61902133
They aren't, but they should be. Which is not to say the law should extend to them, only that they are committed to it.

>>61896450
I bought a 7 inch Chink tablet that works with my cell provider. Lasts 3-4 days on average.

>>61889346
make the device thicker and lower the price
