Fully controllable pocket computers.

Surprisingly, the tech has been there since the '90s, but never really caught up. Then it went into a weird walled garden direction with mobile phones that often work against you.

Pocket computers are still sometimes janky, like Linux phones are, but having access to all the software and permissions is an unparalleled power.

What's your borg control preference?

* sleeve ( https://newatlas.com/wearables/team-hart-vibrating-sleeve-la... )

* eye controlable via smart glasses?

* human jestures

* mind-computer interface

* requires an advance degree in coreography & contortionist flexibility to use?

Which one are you using?
Not the original poster, but I'm using a GPD Micro PC. A "laptop" that fits in your pocket like a smartphone does really is a quiet revolution in personal computing.
The Librem 5. It's the closest to controllable you can get now.
