To be fair a phone that can be docked and used as any number of other workstations should really be the goal. One device that can do everything is the dream… Running Linux also a requirement.

To be fair, what most buttplugs lack is internet connectivity and support for basic office software.

I actually own a sex toy that, in order to use certain features, I need to connect to my phone via bluetooth and log in to their server on their app with a username and password. Careful what you wish for.

Hey some do have internet connectivity.

Why wouldn’t the buttplug have internet connectivity? Kids, remember to update your sex toys with the latest security patches!

You’re describing Ubuntu’s Convergence, something Canonical was working on back in like 2011 I think.
Sucks nothing really came of it. By 2014 there were a few functional demos of it but you don’t really see it nowadays.
Fontasia@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
With the many attempts in Android to implement this it’s a little shocking that there hasn’t been more work in the open source space, but I guess Ubuntu mobile and Firefox OS couldn’t even make a deny and cost so much to develop

I did Samsung dex for a while, its ok as long as you don’t want low level access to what you connecting to.
Now I switched to a gpd micropc 2 and its built in ethernet, sd card, usb a and c sockets and native linux make it so much more useful. No longer do i need dongles or other rubbish.
Plus it will do multiple monitor support, something dex struggles with. The keyboard is a little small for touch typing but the former factor is worth the trade of for me.

i want to slot my phone into the computer like those cars where you insert the remote as a key.
The phone should have all the important data, and the computer is basically a smart dock that can be used on its own but when you insert the phone it’s a seamless experience.narp@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That was what the early Windows phones where doing. But the technology was still a bit clunky at the time.
camr_on@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
We made some progress for a bit when we had the Samsung Dex that could run Ubuntu. The closest thing I have now is the steam deck but it’s easier to just have a laptop that plugs in

Internet connected buttplugs are great, there’s even a model where you can create an entire chatroom to take control of it 😈
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’ve spent way too long on the Internet.
Because I actually understand this.
I should probably spend less time on the Internet.
Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
The thing is, this would just be equivalent to leaving it on at all hours, because who would join such a chat room without the intention of switching it on. Even if you joined such a chat room and had some restraint and decided to wait till the moment you thought would be most amusing, someone else would definitely just decided that it should be on now and basically the only lull would be if the number of users was relatively limited and mostly in the same timezone so everyone is sleeping.
Rooty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You can vary intensity and vibration types, it isn’t just on/off. And while you can invite randos for shits and giggles, the point is giving control to people you know😈
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The control element is that viewers would need to pay to turn/keep it on.

I switched my house for a shitty apartment and I’m never going back. I switched my car for a streetcar and bus ride and I’m never going back. I switched my wife for being single, and she’s never coming back.

Replace things?
Virtually every computing device I’ve ever owned is somewhere in the house I’m in. I sold my first PC (a Leading Edge 8088 IBM clone) and I still regret it. It’d been hard to get hooked into my homelab, but I would have figured it out.

You save a lot of money wringing every penny of value from all your electronics.
Zink@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I love the amazing advances in hardware and general tech that enabled this progression.
However, what I am finding only works better and better for my brain and well-being is to push in the opposite direction. I went from wearing a smart watch 23 hours a day, 365 days of the year for several years, to not even knowing where it is right now.
I do most of my computing/gaming/browsing on an old desktop PC running Linux. I just replaced the fans in one of the PCs that’s 15 years old because they sounded like a locomotive.
The best part though is getting up to get a drink, hit the restroom, or even go chill outside with my pets for an hour and just leave my phone wherever it’s sitting. Just some time to exist and pay attention to my senses and the world around me without getting fucking notifications.
Or hell, even being at work and literally working on technology while being isolated from the outside tech world trying to get my attention.
Though if you have a smart watch that can save you from missing notifications during those times. That’s why mine had to go, lol.

Zink@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Love it.
And that might be one I haven’t seen, which is even better.
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve worn a pebble smartwatch for a decade just to avoid all the annoying noises our phones make non stop. So i keep my phone on silent and I’ve got the pebble set to only get notifications for texts and calls neither of which i get a ton of on a daily basis. I like to be able to glance down and either ignore or pull out my phone and deal with.
I am also a big fan of leaving my phone in the other room and dont wear the pebble a lot on weekends just to get a break.
Zink@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I’ve never had a pebble but they always looked great. If I wanted to go back to a smart watch but keep it more watch-like and less “tiny phone stuck to my body” then I’d be checking them out.
The benefit you described is one of the things that led me to wear one for so long. You get notifications silently yet they can be attention-grabbing (adhd sends its regards), and you can check them or the time or the weather without fumbling with your phone.
Magister@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Seriously I replaced my PC (you know, big tower with lot of fans) with a Beelink MiniPC and OMG I do not regret it! It is super small, like 4"x5", sitting on my desk, sometimes I can hear the fan but mostly never, it’s fast, quiet, powerful. Best thing ever.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Unless you want to do AAA gaming or 4k video editing, a cheap mini PC will be pretty much all you need. Those things have been getting pretty good lately.
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Thinkcentre tiny here, good for absolutely everything except gaming. So I got a bigger box for that.
yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
My requirements are bidirectional communication. If the buttplug doesn’t register and decode clench-morsecode, I will not use it!
InnerScientist@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Of course!
Then, when AWS goes down it’ll turn on randomly, reset the password to the default 50 character password and not unlock until you’ve input it corectly.
huppakee@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Imagine you’d have to unlock your butt plug before it allows you to remove it. Kill me now.

I want one of those internet connected buttplugs so I can actually get fucked by the gay people in my phone and not just the ones IRL.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I have some remote controlled toys. Sounds fun but the apps are shit. Even with a partner it’s horrible to actually use it. You just want to get fucked but instead the app fucks you with ads, bugs and complicated constructions to get it working and that way to get fucked is really not something that makes you cum.
PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have a bunch of FOSS apps made for a few different toy platforms already bookmarked if I got one, as well as a couple of VR “games” with support. I just don’t want to spend more than $100 on a toy that isn’t custom made from Bad Dragon.
