That’s making me want to rethink my platforms. Seeing this, I feel like I’m missing some pizzaz.

The original sell on the look was something like exoskeleton. Basically, the SpaceX Starship is stainless steel. Musk needed another consumer of it to make Starship more financially sound I suppose, so here comes CyberTruck which will use cold rolled steel exoskeleton, except it’s nothing like what it was sold to be.

hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads

Honestly, I would back up all of your downloads, documents, pictures, videos, browser history/passwords/bookmarks, and anything else you want to save to an external drive or to The Cloud (or multiple, e.g., most/all browsers have a sync function, and OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox, etc.), and then download and test drive multiple different distros until you find one that you like and has good community support. Nearly all distros today will let you test it out without installing (kind of a try before you buy). Once you find one, install it while wiping the Windows install, then load your graphics drivers and Steam. Steam will handle the rest as far as running your games (some caveats apply, i.e., some multiplayer games will not work because the developers are assholes).

I always called that a soft brick when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.

Hard brick was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.

I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about glitch brick?

They’ll wheel him to the autopen at that point if he’s not already employing it considering how he projected onto Biden for the autopen usage.

Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

I’d argue it’s one of their core beliefs. Almost a requirement to be a MAGA is to be a hypocrite.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?

One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.

Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.

I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.

How is this supposed to work? What about identical twins? What about people who look alike (more common than you’d think)?

The asset store obviously isn’t, so I feel these concerns are valid. I don’t want Godot to end up like Unity 5-10+ years out.

I’m not sure why you’re beating up a strawman so hard. I never said anything remotely close to that.

Seems I struck a nerve. See my other response in this thread for my concerns.

Thank you, kind stranger!
