What tech are you most excited for in 2023?
(lemmy.ml)
- Emacs 29 (featuring improvements to the built-in help system)
- NetBSD 10.0 (which has been in development nearly 3 years!)
- The FreeDOS 28th Anniversary Ebook (the working title is Why We Love FreeDOS)
- Long shot: better support for GNU Guix to run on GNU Hurd
Found the foss enthusiast, can't wait for emacs
I'm curious how the foldable Pixel will turn out. Especially if it'll still be so moddable and have a relockable bootloader... Kinda doubt it
A foldable for mobile Linux would be amazing, I love my PinePhone Pro with keyboard case, but you could use a foldable as a mini laptop with a touch keyboard on the bottom half (maybe not the best experience though). Having a bigger screen for doing productivity stuff especially with an external keyboard would be amazing, but I don't want Android anymore.
Regarding the keyboard on the bottom, I can imagine some physical keypad accessory for the bottom half, like what Lenovo is doing with their foldable tablet/laptop thingy, just on a smaller scale.
That's basically what the PinePhone keyboard accessory is. The phone clips into the top half and the bottom half is a physical keyboard. It is essentially a pocket sized laptop. I'm typing on it now and I can actually type much faster on this than any normal touch phone keyboard since you can properly touch type on it.
That looks sweet. Like a Psion 5.
Not what I'd personally have much use for (kinda like using phone in vertical an in-hand), but yea, leave it to small indie companies to come up with important things.
Ed: but I was referring to this where the keyboard can be attached right to the bottom screen.
The rumored Deckard standalone VR headset from Valve sounds exciting.

Technically 2024 but the Apple Vision Pro headset is blowing my mind
Even with that price tag?
A good blow jobs sometimes costs good money.
For new tech like that price point is expected to be high. The key point that I’m excited about their headset is that they ironed out a bunch of problems so now other companies can mirror the solution and lower the cost eventually.

MNT Pocket Reform will ship end of year
ThirdParty support for managing PassKeys. Especially the password managers BitWarden and Enpass. Having a main stream pubkey based authentication mechanism will hopefully vastly improve security and reduce ugly attack vectors.
ROG Ally. Finally a good device which lets me play any of my indie games on my commute. This is important to me as I'm the dad of a 7 week old girl, and my commute is the only time I have for gaming now.
Genuine question, why not Steam Deck? I enjoy playing indie games (Into the Breach, One Step from Eden, Into the Void, etc) on my Steam Deck on bus.
It's not available in Norway, and probably won't be any time soon. I could have it sent to a collection point in Sweden and pick it up there, but then I'd have a lot of trouble dealing with a warrenty claim if something doesn't work.
Norway is an odd country to miss out. I kinda just assumed they'd released it in every stable European country.
We're a really small non-eu market. I completely understand why they haven't bothered launching it here.
:(
Sorry to hear that. It makes me thankful that even in a small Asian market like Hong Kong I can get a steam deck through official channel.
I'd definitely have gone with the SteamDeck had it been officially sold here. A more console like experience and the trackpads would have been great for RTS games. Bought a steam controller from a colleague, so at least I can use that for RTS when connecting the ally to a TV.
I preordered one. I love my Steam Deck and am interested to see how much better it performs, but I plan on installing Linux (some form of SteamOS) because I really hate Windows. SteamOS is an amazing interface for a handheld and with the Ally running AMD, it should run Linux very well. ETA PRIME did a video on Linux on the Ally and it looks very promising.
I was hoping for a switch 2 this year, but that is seeming less likely now.
bro yuzu on steam deck and u'r set for life xd
I haven't found the firmware on the high seas and I'm not keen at the idea of dumping it myself
Just search for "switch keys" or something and you'll find it. I dumped my actual games on my Switch but I found the keys online somewhere.
Cheaper LTO-7
The expansion of the more robust mobile gaming handheld sector. Systems like the ROG Ally and Steam Deck are an awesome new direction for gaming and I'm pumped to see that sector expand and mature.
I was considering pre-ordering an Ally, but the battery life on it is a little underwhelming. I know it's a similar capacity to that of the Steam Deck, but it packs way more computing power than what the Deck offers.
I wonder if they put such a small capacity battery in it so it'd weigh less than the Steam Deck. I know ASUS was citing it's weight as a selling point.
