What are the things you can only do on a pc but not on a phone?

meh, there is an entire class of things that android "can" do like edit an excel or a picture, but realistically no one, except maybe zoomers are going to ever try
Because then you need to find a keyboard, and then you need a mouse, and then you want a bigger screen, and then you just want an OS that it's easy to multitask, and suddenly you have a pc lol
In this sense, for almost everything more complex than writing a social media post / taking a picture you want a pc

I'm actually thinking of proposing that we implement DeX at my job. Right now everyone gets a chromebook and a shitty cheap android and I think a phone would actually be a better computer than the shit we get

Analyse our simulation data. Big sims can spit out terabytes of data (the limiting factor is storage space) and require a lot of memory to convert that bunch of massive matrices into forms that are usable for statistics. We've got a server with 4TB RAM for the really large stuff, but it's nice to be able to work with stuff on a non-shared hardware resource (vital for debugging).
A phone would take a long time just to download all that. If it had the storage capacity, which it doesn't.

I always thought this was the end game for phones. Some time in the future, if Moore's Law continues, phones will be so powerful that there really wouldn't be a need for desktop class PCs.

Android works well with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Use a tablet and you're almost at a small laptop.

Professional video editing. Find me an app that does something beyond cutting up clips and adding shitty filters to it and you'll get a pass.

nice. I am an animator and this is my favorite version of vegas- Have been using since version 7 . Along the lines of professional video editing, phones are pretty terrible for creating animations. Having a robust file-system is important for sorting through frames, renaming them all, resorting in order to re-time things. Because sometimes, software like blender depends on the file-naming of the frames in order to parse the sequence

But to give you a proper editing/timeline experience, I recommend the software Cute Cut (on iOS, unsure if on android) Despite the name, it is a very powerful software with layered timeline, compositing tools, blending modes, text and overlay key animation, as well as full control over scaling and cropping overlays and timeline layers

I seriously don’t understand this. If you already have a monitor, a mouse and a keyboard why wouldn’t you have a tower?

Yeah, average normie in the last decade wanted a social media machine with light document editing and got a MacBook, cheap windows machine or maybe a Chromebook
Phones already do enough that zoomers probably get most of what they need on a mid-tier android.

Still don't think laptops are going anywhere for a few years, too much of a gap between phone capabilities and reliable cloud computing for now.
Getting closer and closer to OS as a service though if we've not already crossed the point of no return it'll be soon
