Are We Finally At The Point Where Phones Can Replace Computers?

[ETA Prime] on YouTube seems to think we’ve reached that point, and his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwgsGpIwhJo" target="_blank">recent video about the Samsung S26 Ultra</a> makes a good case for it. Part of that is software: Samsung’s DeX is a huge enabler for this use case. Part of that his hardware: the S26 Ultra, as the upcoming latest-and-greatest flagship phone, has absurd stats and a price tag to match.</p>
<p>First, it’s got 12 GB of that unobtanium once called “RAM”. It’s got an 8-core ARM processor in its Snapdragon Elite SOC, with the two performance cores clocked at 4.74 GHz — which isn’t a world record, but it’s pretty snappy. The other six cores aren’t just doddling along at 3.62 GHz. Except for the very youngest of our readers, you probably remember a time when the world’s greatest supercomputers had as much computing power as this phone.</p>

<p>So it should be no suprise that when [ETA Prime] plugs it into a monitor (<a href="https://hackaday.com/2023/07/24/displayport-tapping-the-altmode/">using USB-C, natch</a>) he

La #luttedesclasses , la #democratie , la question des #inegalites sont mes principales préoccupations.

Je pense qu'on n'arrivera à rien sur le terrain des autres luttes tant que tout le pouvoir sera entre les mains d'une minorité qui a intérêt à nous diviser.

C'est une observation stratégique et tactique, pas une hiérarchie des priorités. Toutes les luttes sont essentielles et les hiérarchiser n'a aucun sens sur le plan éthique. C'est juste que le chemin "class first" me semble le plus efficace.

Et si je me trompe, je sais que je peux compter sur d'autres qui ne se sont pas fourvoyé, que j'ai toujours soutenu, et continue de soutenir.

Every time I hear the name Sam Altman I want to reply "Altman be praised", but I'm worried that people will mistake me for someone who likes AI when in reality I want them to know that convergence is at hand and that only through death will they be reborn and made whole.

Weird how many nerd fandoms seem to have the same people in them, right? Rhythm games, conlangs, math and computing, puzzles and paradoxes. I've been calling this "the GEB Orbit", because if you're into two or more of these things, you're probably in the target audience for Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter, a book I would describe as "the spiritual precedessor to xkcd."

It's not a household name yet, but #linux as proxy for #opensource personal computing has won the desktop [Perversely, it's the #bigtech clouds that solidified this win, by making Linux the default server OS]. But even as the task to make the desktop widely adopted is still open, two battlefronts will shape the computing landscape for at least a decade to come: the #mobile OS and desktop #convergence, and the GPU front and integration of #algorithms

May you live in interesting times 🤓

Big news — the Convergence Hub (FLH1) is on its way to us for final testing and QA!

Once we give it the green light, shipping begins immediately from our warehouse. We've been looking forward to this one - true convergence for your FLX1 and FLX1S.

Stay tuned for the final approval update.

@furilabs , have you explored options for DisplayLink to female USB-C with DP Alt+PD dongle?

Pretty much to enable a connection with a single cable to a NexDock. Or to connect the DisplayLink adapter to a Steam Deck USB-C hub or similar that would handle the USB A/ HDMI/ DisplayPort ports.

I'm curious if such DisplayLink adapter concept is achievable.

Do recursive dynamics appear independently across scientific domains? This paper examines convergent findings from neuroscience, ecology, quantum systems, and climate science—testing whether the same structural patterns emerge without cross-citation.

FuriLabs Convergence Hub is a smartphone dock with video output, free for FLX1 owners

Many smartphones offer video output over a USB-C port, allowing to connect your phone to a display and use it sort of like a desktop computer. But you’re usually still running a mobile operating system, even if it is one that supports desktop mode like Samsung’s DeX software.

The FuriLabs FLX1 and FLX1s smartphones, on the other hand, ship with an operating system that’s based on Debian Linux. […]
