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.

Couldn't you just attach an umbrella to a drone?

Fractal Design's Pop cases have a 5.25" bay. It's hidden behind a pop-off panel at the bottom, in the power supply basement.

This one I just found last week. I’ve been trying to get my tv on my vpn without having to flash my router with openwrt. It’s a samsung running tizen so not customizable unlike an android tv. I discovered the GL.Inet Mango and Shadow mini routers that come with openwrt pre-installed. Now I have my tv and older devices that don’t support my vpn client connected to it. I can also take it along with me when traveling to use when on hotel or public wifi.

Strubb's pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can't find them in any local grocery store.

A decent brand of tws with multiple lights to indicate the amount of charge left. Also bigger battery.

All the branded stuff have single led with different colours to indicate charge percentage and also if paired or not.

I don't want to remember fcking rainbow to know all the features.

You can easily get a case with an optical drive slot if you just get an older case. You can fit an older case with more modern components just fine. My current PC case is from 2017 and has an optical drive slot (which is fitted with an optical drive—though I'm afraid I've not used it in years...)

As for laptops with ports, they're out there but you may have to either get an older one or pay more money annoyingly. I wish it was standard for laptops to have ethernet ports. My modern, fairly mainstream trend-following laptop has all the other ports I need (USB obviously, HDMI, and 3.5mm headphone jack).

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.
