Re:Maru OS – Your phone is your PC on Tuesday July 29, 2025 @04:49PM (#44728115)
I think Apple would actually be in a position capable of doing this. Slap an M1-4 into an iPhone Case with MacOS. Normally you have an interface like iOS, which shouldn't be hard because iOS is based on MacOS, and when you connect it to a monitor you have normal MacOS. Normal iOS applications need to run on MacOS which I think they already could.

You would just have to allow apps to transform the interface between desktop and mobile or allow both interfaces to access the same data. And for apps that aren't working just show a small windows on the desktop and either disallow opening only-desktop apps on iOS or make everything small and allow zooming.

You could also make something MacBook-like where you connect your phone or slide it into the side.

I think one of the problems here is that Apple then could only sell 1 device to everyone and not potentially three (iPhone, iPad, Mac).

We also recently saw the xz backdoor wich was worked on for many years so I think it could be possible if you really have on target.

I don't know if I should Block Claude. I think it's really good and use it regularly and I think it's not fair to say that others should provide content.

An operating system inside a text editor inside an operating system maybe inside a vm inside another operating system. Wait I forgot nested virtualization.
