> I'm typing this post on my iPhone in the Obsidian iOS app using a Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard and I feel like a 90s computer hacker. 90's computer hacker ? I don't know, this sounds nearly as consumer as it gets.
This is nice and all, but what I am waiting for is the phone to power my desktop setup. I walk up, drop the phone into a dock, and my three 27" monitors all wake up with the desktop exactly as I left it. To get there I think the GPU will have to be embedded in the monitors, and some interesting operating system hoops will have to be jumped through. Do cords have enough bandwidth now to support this? I honestly don't…
Scan your retina and have the screens broadcast your zero latency always on desktop running in the cloud that seamlessly updates, never has to stop or reboot and backs up every single interaction you have done in the past decade.
The screens turn off and disconnect as you walk away and reconnect to your phone (now merely a pocket-screen) with all applications adapting to whatever size of the screen.
Oh and of course your earbuds have been connected the whole time broadcasting any audio that might be playing in the desktop without interruption.

Why even plug a phone at all ?

Please kill me. :)

Is it not possible to put a newer Android on it yourself? Because you could run Linux on it as well?
I'm sure all things are possible. I just felt like it was indicitive of a feeling like they abandoned the device soon after launch to work on the next shiny thing.

Didn't Ubuntu make a phone ten years ago that did that? But they gave up on it. I also thought Samsung phones could do that, too.
For someone wanting an easy, at home VPN for setups just like in the blog - is anything on the market competitive with Tailscale's UX? Ideally there would be no proxy, no VPN hosted on DigitalOcean that i fear being a weak point.. Instead, i'd like:
1. A redirect hosted on DigitalOcean, acting as a self hosted DynIP. No security issue here i'd think?
2. After hitting my real IP, connect to a VPN on a predetermined port.
3. Get access to bells and whistles now on the priveledged network. Bonus points if i could assign DNS entries like `ssh me@workmachine.fake` or `http(s?)://videostreaming.fake`
Tailscale makes me a bit nervous, as cool as they are i'd prefer entirely self hosted. Though i may give them a try just to experience this UX.

The biggest problem with using your phone as a computer is not the screen size, or app availability or anything else you might commonly think of when considering arguing about this subject. In my opinion, today it is one and only one thing - the battery. I'm presently typing this comment on a desktop, because my phone is on the charger.
That's not consistent between phones. I have a low end Redmi 9T with a 6AH battery. It lasts 2 days of relatively heavy phone usage. I'm guessing it would last a whole day in a Termux shell. Edit: if anything the real issue is thermals. I also have a high end phone with a Snapdragon 888. This thing has a faster CPU & GPU than my Intel desktop. However, it's only fast for seconds, until it gets thermally throttled.
