A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

never make unconscious purchase decisions. Consciously set a list of what you want, and follow it.

Yes, but how do you become aware of product you consciously want?

The unconscious is a myth anyway. Freud was a well-known Nazi, as anyone who’s not an unhinged right-winger already knows.

We’re making sense here guys. Let’s keep this discussion going. This is really coherent stuff.

By concatenating words describing concepts I'd like to have together. For example:

Foldable rechargeable lightweight flying exoskeleton
Cheap quiet fan that fits in my window while moving as much air as possible
Waterproof lightweight summer footwear
Non-addictive method to instantly fall asleep
Low sugar cheesecake
Small and cheap dynamometric drill adapter adjustable for 0 to 500Nm

...and so on. Just use your imagination.

Just not the unconscious parts of your imagination. Keep it on the straight and barrow here people.
