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

    Thank you. Knew I’d seen it a sci-fi show, couldn’t remember which one.

    Now if you can tell me which sci-fi tv show or movie had someone on a spaceship whose job was to listen for, interpret cosmic noise, and he’d do so by immersing his head into a band of sound at his workstation … been bugging me for weeks.

      Ooh I don’t know. That sounds interesting. Is it a band like a speaker that makes a ring around his head facing inward? Or some hologram thing or what?

        Um… hold out your hands like you’re holding an imaginary box. But instead of a box, it was a visible, undulating, holographic field, and he’d dip his head into that field. I remember computer displays behind him, it was his specialized work station. A few other shipmates would make fun of him for disconnecting, zoning out so much.
