Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

    My work laptop just got replaced, and what’s great is the dock that came with it. It only connects to my laptop thru a USB C. So. Now I unhook my laptop, and plug my phone into it, which uses Dex. It’s like Samsung’s own desktop OS. And I can use my big screens and keyboard and mouse

    I also make sure my phone isn’t using the network cable plugged into it and only use my own internet. I don’t think it’d let me anyways

      How do you like dexs? Would you consider using it as a daily driver? I mean not having a laptop at all.

        Not really. It’s okay for some just casual internet browsing and a few apps that are made for it, and I think you can use Office on it, but I’ve only used it to entertain myself at work. If you had access to a laptop or PC, you can plug a USB cable into any of the flagship Samsung phones and test it out.

        Itd be nice if more people used it though, so itd get more support

        If you’re familiar with Linux at all, there are some versions you can put on a rooted Android phone, and use it like a Linux PC. I never tried it, but I know it was a thing about 10 years ago, and I’m sure it’s still being worked on
