minus-squareBatbro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoI keep a lapdock in a quick go bag for the weekend or when I’m at my desk without my computer. I like dex, 80% of my computer usage is just Internet or quick server commands. My wife handles her YouTube channel 100% from her phone and having the option for a bigger screen for some task is great. I never understood why Google disabled display out via USBC, it comes built in on most chips.
minus-squareJWBananas@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDoesn’t that require USB 3.x? Some of the Pixels have been USB-C 2.0. Probably also requires wiring up the correct lanes from the chipset and possibly even paying the manufacturer for that feature.
