I thought about this last night - I am forever composing emails, writing announcements or other letters - and I wish there was a mind/thoughts > typed device - that would be SO much easier and quicker!!!
I have one big caveat tho - the device must not under any circumstances be able to connect to the web and the only thing it can transfer (either to a usb drive or to a computer via bluetooth) is our confirmed text - it’s bad enough with the tech giants stealing our online activity we don’t want them stealing our thoughts and ideas as well

I would like to see an HDMI device similar to Google Chromecast, but with USB port into which you could plug-in some mass storage device and play content from it. I used to have Western Digital TV Live which did something similar, but it was a big box. The new streaming devices don’t seem to care about your own content/storage anymore…

Am I thinking too small if I’ll settle for a M1 version of the 12” MacBook?
