    So your argument is unless you have sex no one needs an organ for it?

    More to the point USB can be used for so much more than just data transfer. I know Apple hasn’t provided you folk with any option like those and it’s a “revolutionary and brave move” waiting to happen 5-10 years after everyone else… but my phone has HDMI out, USB hub which has keyboard, mouse and external drive connected. You know, you can charge your phone and do work and use your device?

      Wow, that seems kind of cool actually.

      I wonder if a phone could replace a ThinkPad? I mean it’d probably be sluggish but maybe okay to use?

      A link to that dock station thingy of yours?

        It’s a simply USB C hub with HDMI, LAN, memory card reader, etc. It can charge your device while providing HDMI output and the rest of desktop experience. Nothing too special, VAVA VA-UC006

          Simple and elegant, thanks for the link!

          Gotta get one of those Linux telephones now (so I can be disappointed I guess 😅), always having your PC with you would be so swell.

            You are welcome. There are pocket sized PCs out there running both Linux and Windows. Right now this works for me. :)
