Thread of stuff I wanna buy.

5. Kinda want to add EEGs to my loadout. Maybe for controlling a cursor in XR? Biggest question is whether there are SDKs that work on Linux. https://www.emotiv.com/insight/

6. A cool robot arm that can act as a 3d printer, laser engraver, or pen plotter.

7. A head mounted display with an Android TV box you can wear as a neckband. It can do everything my rokid max can and more. I could install termux to do dev on it or RDP into other boxes.

8. This funky bluetooth mouse that's made to be thumb controlled.
My hand pain has been really bad lately and this could make it easier to use my phone. A bit more pricay than I usually risk on bluetooth stuff tho.

9. I saw this in the past but the new wearable setup makes it a lot more appealing to my use case. Might getone eventually and see if it helps with the eternal hand pain more
CharaChorder - Type at the speed of thought®
CharaChorder is a new class of peripheral device which allows ordinary people to type faster than is physically possible on any keyboard. Users can type entire words in a single motion by pressing all the letters of a word simultaneously. CharaChorder’s internal processor arranges these letters on-screen in real time.

@mauve i find no info about a "new wearable setup"? They look awesome but not very portable

@kris I found this video on youtube which is what got me into this again. Also saw some vids of them doing programming which is my main use case for keyboards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVzi4fDzxq0

@kris I'm excited to pair it with my Viture Neckband for portable computing. https://neckband.viture.com/

10. This is like the final step in evolution for me. It's purely a controller meant to hook into external displays. Some folks have already managed to get Linux on it too. Main thing it's missing is a keyboard. If I could figure out a proper text input scheme with a controller and get that working with my LUKS encryption it'd be golden.

@mauve re text input on a controller—
close to two decades ago now, i was at a friends house and he was showing me this game on ps3 and this game had a super unique take on using the d-pad to filter letters
i don’t know exactly, but from reverse engineering my memory, each direction represented 1/4 the letters of the alphabet, maybe symbols too, so for sake of example, let’s say there’s
32 characters in this alphabet dictionary
at the root, each direction would represent 8 characters, drilling into that, each direction two characters, into that, each direction one character
with a tree three levels deep, any character could be selected with exactly three inputs.
it was like t9 for gamers

@tychi That's interesting. I was thinking of using a combo of dpad + amalog stick. Analog stick rotates to select one of 6 zones, then clicking the dpad in six directions to type the character / symbol. My main issue is I really need all the special characters needed for programming which drastically increases the number of combos I must represent

11. Kinda want to get a phone replacement that uses eink displays to save on battery and discourage doom scrolling.
This one is nice cause it has a keyboard: https://www.minimalcompany.com/
