Arrrgh! Nobody Makes What I Want!!!

[migles]

You know what I want? I want D.va from Overwatch to be real. Every time I play that game, I cry because I know I'll never have a gf as perfect as D.va. Fuck it, I'll even play starcraft if that would make her real.

ima go with tracer

you guys... mercy is the best one. blue eye blonde tall woman.

yeah sure, i do love mei but damn, mei is a grown 31 year old woman... make her like 22, and no one would be hotter and better than her
specially with the personality, dva is too much self centered, childish and a bad loser

 

[DinohScene]

I would like more devices in the vein of GPD Win, GPD Pocket, Planet Gemini and so on. Something that doesn't run Android.

I love the UMPC formfactor.
Especially when it runs a full blown OS.

Much more versatile then a phone/device running android.

Warning! Rant thread ahead!

Let's have some fun ranting about products we wish somebody would make, within reason. NO I'm not talking about a PS4 that will make you a sandwich (granted that would be nice).

I have two things I want.

1) a Windows 10 tablet between 6-8 inches...
- screen @720p
- 4 gigs of RAM
- a decent GPU/CPU chipset
- an internal fan
- all the I/O at the top or bottom of the tablet (when held in landscape position)
- TWO USB ports so that I can finally play and charge a damn tablet.
- and no more than 150 USD. With the Success of the switch, it boggles my mind that nobody has tried their hand at this.

2) Kids clothes in adult sizes. I swear, kids get the best damn tee shirts!

OK, who's next!

Thank God I wear an S since I'm only 1.60m (5.2 ft) AKA Hobbit

The tablet you're asking for is a bit far fetched for that price tho.

Thats what d.va makes d.va

Hey man no disrespect to Mercy. I never said anything bad about her, in fact she is my number 2. The only reason I chose D.va is because realistically I think I'd fit more with her, though Mercy is more "beautiful" in a traditional sense. I have no idea how I'd have for example, a literally cold blooded french assassin as a girlfriend, so that's why widowmaker is 3rd.

Tracer is an annoying character with a thin ass, which while I would tap, I could not have a conversation with longer than 30 minutes. The accent isn't even the biggest turn off, it's the short hair. It's just not my preference.

1) That might actually be doable. I've seen cheapo Windows 10 tablets for around $100. You're unlikely to get anything better than an Atom for $150 but the other specs should be doable. A fan on a tablet is not really something you would want if avoidable though. Trust me.
Have you looked around for tablets around that price?
2) You can find literally anything you want in any size if you look around online.

Look for a Surface Pro 3 on eBay. Most of them in your price range have broken digitizers, but if you're willing to do a screen swap or wait for an awesome deal it'd satisfy all of your desires


Amazon, they have e v e r y t h i n g

The Surface Pro 3 is apparently insanely difficult to disassemble. Probably why the faulty ones are so cheap.
And that's way bigger than 6-8".

Two things come to mind.

1.) An upgrade of Free Video To GIF converter that at least goes over 20FPS. That program is the quickest way for me to make GIFs, longer methods lead to better quality ones, which I've delved into, but then the drawback is limitations, for example Twitter having a 15MB size limit. Higher quality, bigger size, it becomes an inconvenience depending on where I share them. Of course this forum has an anti-GIF policy that's shit but moving on...

2.) Pokemon Showdowns metas being adapted to the console. Not Showdown ported to 3DS, I mean those rulesets and various metagames brought in to the current generation of Pokemon. In a sense, it's asking for more downloadable rules, since that's a feature in Gen 7. Even GameFreak doing their own tiering system would be neat. VGC, Battle Spot, need more different metas, and the monthly competitions can be lazy half the time, just using VGC rules, I have most fun on stuff such as their Little Cup thing where it was restricted to mons under a certain height. Variety is the spice of life basically.

Best to switch to another format rather than GIF. GIFs have no place in 2018.

APNG? The support pool is lacking on that, I can't really share that on a wide scale. GIFs are all over, so I don't know what you're talking about. They don't have a place here, for some fucking stupid reason. Just opening a can of worms for me with GIFs and this place, I need to calm down.

-An dedicated 7nm Amd Apu
-cheap dan a4 sfx alternative mini itx case

Actually Dan is making a "cheap" alternative. It's called the C4-SFX. Price is going to be €160-180. That might not be as cheap as you wanted, but that's about what a quality case is going to cost you anyway.
There's also the NCASE M1 for around the same price.

gifv, webm are two commonly used alternatives. The reason they have no place in 2018 is because they take so long to load it makes you feel like you're back in the 90s, and it's not because of the file size, they're just inefficient. The file sizes are also larger than other formats with worse quality.

$200 is a little above what I'd want to pay for a quality case, unless it's a pretty damn flashy case

It's not what I'd call flashy although you can make it so by sticking lots of RGB in it. It's great for showing off the internals of your rig though, and there's something really cool about a SFF rig.
I did get an A4-SFX v2 case and window kit at the Kickstarter price of €290. I think I had to pay import tax as well. But it was just too cool not to have.
Don't have any parts to put in it yet though. But I'll make sure to include as much RGB as possible. Which isn't a lot, 92mm RGB fans are nonexistant but I can at least get RGB RAM, a RGB mobo and a small RGB strip. And later on when I upgrade my GPU maybe get one with RGB (although that will be on the back side so it doesn't really matter all that much)
That should make it look slick with the window kit.

I love the UMPC formfactor.
Especially when it runs a full blown OS.

Much more versatile then a phone/device running android.

I think they're pretty cool, but I just don't see myself using them much. Otherwise I would buy a GPD Win 2. It seems a little too weak for good gaming and the keyboard is way too small for good typing.
The GPD Pocket seems a lot more useful, but it seems a little too weak to use as a daily driver laptop, so it'd only be good as a secondary device, and I already have my Surface Pro 3 for that. Even though that's a much bigger device it also seems more useful.

Oh... yikes...

When iFixit tried to do a teardown of it, they broke the screen. Not that that matters if you're replacing the screen anyway. But it says a lot when even people who have been doing this for a living for years can't manage to open it without breaking something.

I'd like to have a physical keyboard.
Tablets have always been meh, almost no I/O, touch screen (yes you can get a coverflap with keyboard but it isn't the same as a UMPC.

I would use them on a daily basis when I'm away from home.
Got a HTC Shift X9500 and despite it being slow and outdated, I still love it!

Edit: gaming on a UMPC... just no.
I got consoles and if I wanted to do PC gaming, I'd build a rig haha.

The keyboard for the SP3 is actually really good. One of the best laptop(?) keyboards I've used despite it being so thin. And it apparently only got better with later models. But yeah, it's not exactly a UMPC. More of an ultrabook.
I miss the OQO. It seemed like such a cool device at the time. But it was rather unobtainable for me due to the high cost and because I wasn't old enough to have my own income at the time, and now the company is gone. The GPD Win 2 might be a better device in every way, but I really liked the form factor of the OQO.

OQO is amazing.
Never had one neither but the images and videos I seen of it.. simply gorgeous.

I still want a GPD pocket or w/e the UMPC of them is.
Might wait till the newest tho.

Once this Surface kicks the bucket, I might buy whatever the current iteration of the GPD Pocket is at that time. Or some device like it. I like how portable it is, the screen/keyboard might be a bit too small to do any real work on and too small for optimal video watching, but it would be perfect for those times where I'm just going away for a few hours or a day or two and I want to bring a PC with me. For anything longer I'd probably bring my full-size gaming laptop anyway.

-more waifus
--be real

Papercuts on the dick.

i may be a masochist but theres still things that i dont like IE papercuts and needles
and you have just made me not want to have a dick

Exactly that.
Tho for watching streams in bed or w/e or watching videos on the go, it's quite neat!

All of that's technically possible.
- Design an automatic gamecard and memcard switcher
- Stick some beefy cooling on the internals to (hopefully) prevent crashing (though I've never heard of it crashing every 15 mins so I think that might just be you)
- Wire up a lot of NAND chips with a dedicated controller chip to address each one as if they were one like a SSD
- Port Linux to it
- Wire up a recovery flasher to the NAND with a button for easily restoring NAND if you brick it or to be used for downgrading
- Wire up a dual NAND to let you switch between two firmwares on the fly (instant downgrade!) and also serve as an alternate restore point for the recovery flasher in the event a NAND backup is not available
- Get 3 25000 mAh powerbanks and daisy chain them
- Find larger RAM chips that are compatible with the vita OR design a solution that utilizes CFW to address additional RAM connected either to the 3G module slot or to some free GPIO on the motherboard if available
- Then stick everything in a box large enough to fit it all (think lunch box sized)
Course you still won't have any software that makes use of the additional RAM, so you'll have to write that as well.

You better get started.

I just want a 3DS PlayStation emulator that runs full speed.

That, and world domination.
