The only real tech that has gotten me excited lately is the steam deck, framework computers, and these little info displays called trmnl.
I'm pretty hyped for the new Seagate HDDs with dozens of TB on a cheap external drive.
Oh yeah true. I almost pulled the trigger on there 26tb drives that are shuckabke for an extension on my nas
I'm gonna buy like 3 of these soon if nobody stops me lol
Oh shit, that price seems too good to be true. My NAS has a couple of 12TB drives in it that cost more than these.
I remember when that was the price for a 1 gb full sized sd card.
Reminder to book your colonoscopy :p
Fuck you for reminding me, and thank you too.
I'm currently hemming and hawing over upgrading the drives in my server. I've got a pair of 4TB drives are are mostly full, and it looks like I could upgrade to 10-12TB for less than $300 (I also have a new chassis that I might put into service at the same time which can hold a lot more drives, plus my wife's old CPU and MOBO would be a decent side-grade, so maybe I'll also shift to RAID-Z1 with 3-4 drives over time and an external backup drive via PBS now that it officially supports external drives)
Be me, still waiting for the Deckard...
That's valve's rumored new vr headset right? I had the index but didn't use it enough so I sold it. VR is cool though.
It is! I have an Index myself that I once used to use quite a bit, but I find I avoid it lately because of how cumbersome it is. I really want an inside out all in one VR setup, as I think it would help me overcome those hurdles, but no way in hell am I buying a Quest from Meta.
Tech I am excited for:
Better and larger color e-ink. I'm not excited for the software in this particular case, but the hardware is excellent.
The NocFree &, the only wireless, split, 75% staggered column keyboard I've been able to find (I would have preferred a full keyboard but I'll take what I can get) It should be great for disability accommodation.
Sony A9 III While the A9 III is way too expensive for me, this camera basically promises that eventually global shutters should make their way down to mid-level prosumer cameras, and I'll eventually get a used one or something. I just wish Sony didn't artificially handicap third party lenses.
I have a Framework 16 and I love it.
Add the new Pebble watches to that list and, yeah, same. I've preordered the Time 2 and it's the first time I've been excited for a new gadget in years.
Nice! I actually had a preorder but canceled it. Had the original plastic pebble so they have a special place in my heart, but I've gone back to a dumb watch and have been enjoying being more disconnected.
Already have a stream deck, the framework computer and trmnl look really cool!
... What other cool stuff don't I know about??
