There's really NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! https://youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

I've seen a bunch of "Zootopia Inspo" tracks popping up at the periphery of my YouTube Music new releases. In the past, I probably would've checked them out for the pure WTF of it all, but I know if I do, this sort of slop will utterly overwhelm my algorithm and I'll never get rid of them.
