Why didn't you take your laptop to China though?
Probably fear of it being rootkitted by the Chinese government

Re: I love my Bluetooth keyboard
#62That's nice, never heard of anyone using a keyboard for a phone. I use it for for my mac though and I can't imagine my life now without it, each typing feels liberating. Although, mac's keyboard is not bad either, it's just different. You basically can't get tired when typing mac's one because it doesn't require any effort clicking actually buttons.
Android allows both keyboards and mice, either via USB On The Go adaptors, or Bluetooth.

#63I'm so confused by the picture. He's looking at a tiny phone screen when there's a proper display right next to him.
Yes, it can be confusing if you don’t read the article. He said he went on a 10 day trip and didn’t take a computer. That is context for why he got a Bluetooth keyboard. I doubt he decided to bring a monitor on the trip.
Android now has a desktop mode on phones like the Pixel that support HDMI out on the USB-C port

#64Is there any keyboard with flat keys, no NumPad and full sized square up/down keys, that one can obtain ?
What you‘re looking for is called a low-profile TKL (tenkeyless aka. no numpad) keyboard. You might also like a 65%, which removes even more keys but still retains the arrow keys.

#65If you want a full size foldable keyboard with function keys and a trackpad, I can recommend the ProtoArc XK01[0]. This is a good enough keyboard that I use it as my main keyboard at home, and it's surprisingly cool to be able to just fold up your daily driver keyboard and take it with you.

It's not expensive either, just $46 (EUR. 41). Weirdly enough, they only sell/ship to the five biggest EU countries.
They have a direct link to buy from AliExpress

#66I've noticed the same thing with writing on smaller screens too: shorter paragraphs, less overthinking, and a lower psychological barrier to starting

#67Still waiting for the day when I can get rid of my work laptop and replace it with a phone entirely. Technically it's already possible, but it's just not practical until I can easily run docker containers on my phone. Also the samsung desktop mode is a bit underwhelming right now. If this is not the default in the next decade I'm gonna riot. Hotels could replace the TV with a big computer screen and the corner chair…
I want this too, though I suspect the hard part is less compute and more the boring peripheral/ecosystem stuff

Now I only need a tripod to keep my phone at eye height. And a way to run Linux or VNC on my GrapheneOS phone.

#69> I really wish there was an alt+tab replacement for window switching in iOS. On Android it's a simple Alt+Tab to switch between apps; press it to bring up the current apps, then Alt+Tab lets you cycle through them too. In general Android is much more keyboard friendly.
Apple only tries to satisfy mu +/- 1 sigma of people.

Most folding keyboards I've tried felt like travel compromises first and keyboards second
