On the hand, I agree. But on the other hand, I love the innovation here, because it could lead us to a day where your phone is your computer. Plug it into a keyboard and monitor and get to work.
This is of course just my opinion but we’re moving towards a high speed interconnected world- 5G, (6G?), peer to peer internet, starlink (eh?), etc. One idea I’ve been playing around with quite a bit lately has been offloading computational data and even OS- obviously I’m not the first one on this, but I think at one point just turning our phones in to input/ receivers for some sort of cloud based OS- where basically…

Samsung DEX and Windows Phone Continuum. The market has already spoken.
People keep foisting DEX forward as a reason why convergence isn't demanded by the market. But, demand is created by early adopters (the people here), and those people don't use DEX because they don't use Samsung, due to Samsung being considered janky-to-insecure, depending on who you ask.

If you ask a member of the Church of Apple, yes, you'll get that answer. Ask any heretic and they'll give different answers ranging from 'I want to keep things separate so I don't flush my PC down the loo next time I forget to take it out of my back pocket' to 'I want to keep my PC personal and don't trust ${vendor} to abide by that promise'.
As to 'Samsung' (or, rather, Android) being 'insecure' it is remarkable to see this premise being pushed. From what I gather there is not much difference between Android and iOS in 'security' - if anything it seems to be iOS which is more often in need of patching against yet another 0-day/0-click related to problems with iMessage or other text-parsing related bugs where Android 'security' problems seem to be more related to the lack of updates for older devices.

I'm an embedded engineer and I'm always surprised at how slow software is. I bought a new laptop that had Windows 11 pre-installed, SSD, all the bells and whistles. Just loading up it takes 5GB of RAM, eats my CPU trying to index files and still can't find the files I want faster than a brute force search. What does Windows really do now more than my Windows 95 PC? It connects to the network, browses files and can lo…
> Just loading up it takes 5GB of RAM Not taking it up is not utilizing the hardware properly.
This is only true if:
1. There aren't other processes that need to share the system.
2. There are no spikes in memory usage.
Neither are true. The less memory each component uses the more you can run at once and it will likely be faster too.

Samsung is the Android market leader.
Yes -- and for many, this is all the proof necessary that iOS is a superior ecosystem. I was a longtime Android user. I had several Galaxy and Pixel devices. I'm now an iOS convert, because all that "it just works" nonsense turns out not to be nonsense.

#5613 was solid AIUI, 14 had and still has battery issues and 15 runs hot and possibly battery issues too? Let’s play iPhone defect excuse bingo: - it’s just indexing data it will be ok after a week/month.
I mean is it wrong? It seems plausible to me: we know it does a lot of stuff in the background to make photos searchable, and afaik that's not really synced. When a phone is suddenly logged into iCloud and has tens of thousands of photos available, is it that implausible that it'd run hot for a while as it analyzes photos? Not trying to excuse anything here, if you can provide a reason to believe it's not caused by t…
A lot of the indexing should preferably happen when you’re sleeping and you’re plugged in.

We didn't accept "it's just indexing" when Windows Vista laptops slowed down after fresh installs and we shouldn't accept it now on phones.
As a software developer I find it easy to come up with good explanations for things like these, but as an end user, I don't care. My photos are searchable but I don't think I've ever used that feature, I wouldn't want my phone to get hot and waste battery life indexing a picture of a funny tree I took five years ago. Do that stuff while charging overnight, and keep thermals under control while you do it. You don't need a fancy neural processor to detect that I leave my device plugged in at 100% every night, maybe make use of that obvious excess of downtime and processing power.

#5815 Pro Max here. Ran VERY hot during first backup/data transfer and setup to the point where it actually flashed up the “too hot to charge” warning. Since then, not a single issue with temperature and it feels cooler running than my previous 11 Pro Max.
Yeah, my 15 Pro was pretty hot that first day, now it's fine.

Taking it up for no visible performance gain is wasting, not utilizing.
Oh, believe me, it is very visible. You can test this easily on a desktop PC. Start it & browse websites when 10+ GB of RAM are inserted and when 2 or 4 are intserted.

If so it’s a ridiculous trade off to make. Someone spending $1000-2000 doesn’t want a hot draining phone just so they can search “dog” in their photo album on day 1 or 2. They should throttle it - much better to tell the user the feature isn’t ready yet or something. Or you know, give the user the choice of running that feature fast or slow - but that would be anathema to Apple. Ps I am an Apple fan boi. Own lots of…
They should throttle it more and have a screen in Photos where you can see progress and ask it to go as fast as possible .
they should let you turn it off in device setup (or at all..)
