Modern cell phones. It's crazy that I basically never need a computer now. My phone is so diversely useful. I spend more money on phones than computers now. It's also the best camera I've ever had! Phones are just so cool lol.

    I know where you are coming from, but I can't see how a phone would be a replacement of a computer, not with Android nor iOS, maybe we need a better mobile OS ๐Ÿ˜‚

    My Mac is on repair currently and one of my most uses for it was to manage my docker containers hosted in my NAS, while I can do some of that in my Android phone it is a pain in the ass to work with it, especially if it can retain many tabs opener as any modern browser lol.

    The Samsung Dex thingy kinda gets close to this new future though.

    I feel like the average person doesn't need a computer most of the time. Anyone who's a "power user", for lack of a better term, probably does. I run a VM with a desktop OS on my Proxmox setup that I remote into from my phone for things that I require a full OS for but don't want to break out my laptop. I often find myself remoting into it from my laptop anyway just for continuity.
