I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
A sleeping pod for home.
Imagine as you go to sleep it is perfect temperature for you no need for open windows or extra blankets. You just turn the dial and it adjusts it or maybe it even have a curve so that you love for it start cold but wake up warm.
It is pitch black, no need to try block out any light.
It completely soundproof even if you live middle of the city. But it also have speakers just in case you like something in background as you sleep.
I think the future of next-gen housing will be something like this. I’ve been hearing stories on HackerNews about young developers earning good salaries in SF, unable to find a place to rent, so instead opt to live in their cars and go shower at the gym. They do this happily, and it doesn’t bother them.
As someone who used to frequently sleep under his desk as work in my early 20s, I can see portable sleep pods being a really good substitute for the inner city housing problem.
That insane! I was thinking like a bed 2.0 not freaking dystopian let’s live in a bed sized apartment.
When you say happily you mean it is better than living in your car right?
That surely can’t be the future that you get!
I’d prefer a house and a garden too, but that’s unlikely for a lot of people now. It’s just not the world we live in. You either are a homeowner, pay exorbitant rent, or are homeless.
Instead of having nothing between homeless and rising rent, it’d be nice to have an inbetween option.
This was in the UK. I lived on one side of the city right next to a motoroway where it was too loud to sleep and I had no internet. My workplace was on the other of the city. On a rainy night, I didn’t always fancy cycling that distance just to get home for 3 hours of subpar sleep. Sleeping a half-decent 6-7 hours under my desk and then showering the next morning was much easier.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world
I would love this - except that my wife and I would want completely different ambient temperatures and I don’t want to sleep in a different pod from her.
Yeah thats bit rough but maybe like one side you heat the wall, bottom and roof it could offset a bit? The other side cools just a tiny bit. You would not get as cold as you want but maybe it would be good enough compromise.
Plus if you have the problem of her hoarding bed less likely she does on your side.
But if you are the bed hoarder it probably won’t help her.
