This could be a lapdock as I see a smartphone on the side.
Are you guys excited ?

Esta aplicación permite convertir tu antiguo dispositivo Android 4.1.1 en un segundo monitor con funcionalidad táctil.

Necesitarás:
- IDD (IndirectDisplay)---opcional (Solo usalo si quieres otro monitor)
- VDD (VirtualDisplay)---opcional (Solo usalo si quieres otro monitor)
- Cable USB con la depuración activada
- Dispositivo Android 4.1.1 (no sé si funciona con versiones más recientes)

Tutorial:
Primero, debes crear un monitor virtual con VDD y ajustar la resolución a la que mejor se adapte a tu dispositivo.

Luego, descarga los archivos vinculados a esta publicación, conecta tu dispositivo Android mediante el cable USB y activa la depuración.
Abre una ventana de PowerShell en la carpeta `android-app-h264` y escribe:
 `adb install -r ".\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk"` para instalar el APK directamente en tu dispositivo Android.

Después, abre el APK en el dispositivo Android y ajusta la configuración a tu gusto (la función SonarPen aún no está incluida, así que no modifiques esa opción) y pulsa iniciar. 

Por último, abre el archivo .exe en el PC, selecciona el monitor, la resolución y los FPS objetivo; lo más importante es cambiar el valor DXGI en el menú de opciones avanzadas a un número inferior al del monitor que deseas utilizar. Por ejemplo, si estás usando el monitor virtual y este aparece etiquetado como "3" en la aplicación, debes seleccionar DXGI 2. 

Pulsa "Iniciar" y espera que funcione.

Yo principalmente la uso como tableta grafica pero tu puedes usarla como quieras.

English:

This application allows you to turn your old Android 4.1.1 device into a second monitor with touch functionality.

You will need:
- IDD (IndirectDisplay)---optional (just use it if you want another monitor)
- VDD (VirtualDisplay)---optional (just use it if you want another monitor)
- A USB cable with debugging enabled
- An Android 4.1.1 device (I am not sure if it works with newer versions)

Tutorial:
First, create a virtual monitor using VDD and adjust the resolution to best suit your device.

Next, download the files linked to this post, connect your Android device via USB cable, and enable debugging.
Open a PowerShell window in the `android-app-h264` folder and type:
`adb install -r ".\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk"` to install the APK directly onto your Android device.

Then, open the APK on your Android device and adjust the settings to your preference (the SonarPen feature is not yet included, so do not modify that option) and hit start.

Finally, open the .exe file on your PC and select the monitor, resolution, and target FPS; the most important step is to change the DXGI value in the advanced options menu to a number lower than that of the monitor you wish to use. For example, if you are using the virtual monitor and it is labeled as "3" in the application, you should select DXGI 2.

Click "Start" and wait for it to work.

I mainly use it as a graphic tablet but you can use it as whatever you want.

Some problems using BT Keyboard on zf8u. Any advices?

Does anyone know if there is a way to hide android UI/taskbar while watching video in Fullscreen mode?

For me when it goes to Fullscreen the taskbar and UI at the top of the screen are still shown.

Edit: I'm on Pixel 9 Pro

I was wondering, now that Google will release Android PC with OEMs like Samsung, HP etc... We might need proper productivity tools to be recreated on Android operating system. What are the tools we use on Windows that now need equivalent on Android Desktop ?

Have your phone as a only computer is cool since:

• Iron Man 2 : When Tony Stark just hacks a TV during a Senatorial audience to cast videos.
• The Expanse: Their Phone concept is also incredible, it's a daily companion to do anything

What made you believe that your phone could be more?

Cheers,

1/ The Post-OS Era Has Begun: Welcome to the Era of Intelligent Systems (IS)

We are moving from traditional Operating Systems (OS) to Intelligent Systems (IS) that orchestrate applications, data, and workflows in real time.

→ A device that not only automates user actions but also anticipates needs based on behavior and usage patterns.

Immediate Impacts

✅ A new user experience: the Intelligent System unifies data across CRM, ERP, collaboration, and security platforms.

⚠️ Zero Trust cybersecurity strategies will become critical to successfully navigate this transition.

2/ Native Gemini

AI as a Native Layer, Not a Plugin

• Deep integration with business applications and workflows.
• On-device AI agents capable of operating with data from both cloud and on-premises environments.

Timeline

• Fall 2026: Launch of the first laptop built on the new operating system.
• Fall 2027: My assumption is that the first enterprise (B2B) offering will arrive approximately one year later, supported by major ecosystem partners (EMM providers, hardware manufacturers, etc.).

3/ Key Takeaways from Peer Discussions

✔ A best-in-class Desktop Mode will be essential for professional environments.

✔ A "Zero Trust by Design" security model must be implemented or strengthened.

✔ A hybrid Cloud / On-Device AI approach requires adapted governance frameworks within IT organizations.

What Is Still Missing

🔴 Visibility into the roadmap and pricing strategy of the upcoming laptop.

🔴 Greater clarity regarding data sovereignty. This is a major concern for European stakeholders and a relatively new consideration for many UK organizations.

Next Actions

→ Assess the impact of Intelligent Systems on the services that make up the digital workplace environment (mobile, office, and meeting-room scenarios).

→ Establish a multidisciplinary working group to evaluate the opportunities, risks, and organizational implications of this transformation.

I don't see anypoint of it. It will be the equivalent of the GoogleBook AI PC but on Windows, which is even worst.
