What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find? (lemmy.zip)

Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

Data cassettes using current LTO tech, but in standard compact cassette format

[–] I_poop_from_there@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LTO cartridges are shaped so much more efficiently, for so many reasons, so why specifically compact cassette format?

Although I'm also just realising now that LTO is specifically optimized to be used linearly from start to finish (It's even in the name) and is pretty inefficient if you'd want to use it a bit, remove it and using reading it later.

It was more the size than the format, something that would be pocketable and consumer friendly.
