watch this. you pair your phone to tablet, your phone gets mirrored on the tablet and you can drag photos from this window to your email on the tab. that is an improvement i would say

edit: it appears they have a "plug in" for pcs. i wonder it is an adaptation of kde connect/my phone from microsoft but this is nice

Sure, this looks like an improvement on Samsungs Dex feature from Galaxy Android phones where you can wirelessly stream desktop UI to a TV.

What does that have to do with with what HarmonyOS is?

from what i understand of dex, it was a convergent thing. i can already wirelessly stream desktop ui to my pc and even touch it with scrcpy but the ad shows you can pick photos from this stream ui on the laptop of the phone.

It is a distributed os. What makes it different is that the program is running in part on the other device.

I haven’t seen it in practice but that is the theory. It is a classic idea that no one so far has done at commercial level.

Just to be clear I am not a Huawei insider, just some random tech dude who is being put off by the general tech community’s unwillingness to try and understand what Huawei is attempting to do.

We're trying to understand what HarmonyOS is in the technical sense, not the philosophical sense
