What you're waiting for

Well, I want:
  • A fair world, first and foremost.
  • Technology that doesn't cost the Earth to manufacture (I dunno if it will ever really happen, though).
  • For manufacturers to stop using Y1 capacitors in "double-insulated" switching supplies (they're lethal to signal circuits — and, should they manage to fail shorted, the user too — although, to be honest, it's probably nigh-impossible to make a SMPS that can truly be considered double-insulated, as so long as a single PCB has both primary and secondary circuitry on it, some risk of a tin whisker crossing the isolation barrier remains).
  • No more bundled power cords or comparably long-lived accessories.
  • For quality to get the attention it deserves.
  • The end of smoking.
  • The death of Phillips (and slotted) screws.
I could go on…

Personally, I'd prefer if all switching supplies were earthed, but unearthed mains outlets remain in use in some areas, so you can't win.
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.
