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.

Nah. With an Android device, you can install the Signal app (it's even on FDroid now). You'll need a phone number to register it, but just to receive the code. Could be a mobile number you have, a landline, or a VoIP (ie, jmp.chat) number-- as long as you haven't already registered for Signal with it.

A Linux device could pose some difficulty, but I think there is progress being made on running Android apps.

Edit: sorry, forgot some of the context here. Leaving it since I'm pretty sure you can install Android on a RasPi.

Yeah I usually think of the Raspberry Pi as a box for running Debian on.
