    Thinking about buying a nexdock, when and if they ever release ChromeOS for Android.

    If I bought one now, would my pixel 8p be totally useless

    Am I the only one who thinks that 16 gb RAM or more is too much for a phone if it’s not for playing or hard tasks in general ? I think it’s better for a PC/Laptop though

      Probably too much indeed, but I stick to very basic tasks on my phone

      In the context of LLM its not. Multitasking and performance would suffer for these use cases.

        Because we all needed LLMs on our phones.

        I can’t see anyone outside of a extreme power user wanting this. People are unlikely to care.

          16GB ram is only available on the top end models of high end smartphones. Regular Instagram, Facebook users are not buying those Smartphones.

              with how badly programmed some Android applications are it isn’t that outrageous, especially if someone wants to watch a movie and run multiple web scrapers in parallel in the background. Not everyone uses their phone the same way, and quite a few basically never use the calling or texting features that make it a phone.

    It’s probably going to be an a running rambling thing, but if one day a mid-range phone with a jack would release I would be so happy.

    Currently happy with the Motorola G84, but they removed it from the G85, and Sony are way overpriced.
