Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cable - Lemmy.World

This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they’re now releasing it officially

Your Pixel

Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Oh, so your Pixel, but not my Pixel.

Let’s be clear, for a feature that Samsung phones have had for a decade at this point.
This feature debuted on the Moto Atrix in 2011. There was even a version of Ubuntu that could use the feature.

They sure did have a version of it. But you had to run their privacy nightmare app suite on their mutilated android OS. So no who one cared or cares.
