That phone?

So hot right now.

Classic Tom's Slopware, or how I call it:

Ban Tom's Slopware!

I want one that can run grapheneOS.

Got it running at playable frame rate, just by lowering the definition of 'playable'!

As someone who has been playing it on a Steam Deck, I am not surprised.

This is why I buy games almost exclusively on PC. Run your games on any device that people get it working on. First for me it was all Windows. Then same library on Linux. Same library in streaming services. Same library on Android phones. Soon same library on ARM VR Linux headsets. Same library on RISC-V devices. Someday I’ll be playing my Steam library on a toaster with a display on it

On a Redmagic 11 right now. I can run cyberpunk but instead I'll play something lighter like Sifu or even lighter like Hades 2. Being able to play cyberpunk means I can play thousand's of other games. It means any game that can run of a ps4 or lower can conceivably run on a high end android phone

But I don't want to play any game like that on a little phone screen. Do people not understand that bigger screens are better?

Really we’ve been gradually approaching a convergence for a while, really we passed it a while ago, where smart phones are indistinguishable in terms of meaningful capability.

Intialy the barrier was memory and processing power, but really, we crossed that bridge a decade ago, if you count the really low end net books. For a while the main gap was in the fact that one set ran on ARM and the other X86, so there was just a gap in what software that could be run on ether. But these days that’s hardly significant issue with the myriad translation layers.

Hell, you’ve been able to plug a keyboard and mouse in to android and IOS for a while now, and external monitors are also workable. So input and form factor aren’t a huge issue. Really the limitation is that most people who want a laptop or desktop form factor… will just buy one of those and people who want a mobile will get one of those. Most people will just get both.

Honestly I think most people buying laptops for work would be better served by adding a mouse keyboard and external monitor to their phone (ideally in some sort of laptop shaped phone dock with an extra battery), but mobile OSs are cludgy with that kind of set up. Maybe android merging chrome OS in to it will bridge that issue.

But really I don’t think Google, Microsoft or Apple really want to do something like that because it might cause mobile sales to cannibalize thin and light laptop sales. I mean, maybe Google would because they don’t really have much skin in the laptop game.

That is petty impressive. I wonder if this will be the future is gaming due to PC costs

I'm looking for a good phone controller for my s25. Has anyone got some experience with them and can someone recommend me a good one.
