Controlling your AI agents from a game handheld

So far the setup works great. I have only used it in places such as hotels and airports. Most of the Android terminal apps also support Mosh so I assume that places such as trains could also work fine.

Q. Dude, just get a laptop

A. I already have a business laptop for my trips. Getting a second laptop just for running my personal agents would increase the weight a lot. Not to mention the cost.

Q. Just get a tablet then

A. An Android tablet with a 14-inch OLED screen costs almost $1400. The Retroid is something I already had. Also, the latest Samsung flagship tablets do not use Snapdragon, so I would still have to carry the Retroid for emulators.

Q. What about a mobile phone (like everybody else)?

A. Only flagship (i.e. very expensive) mobile phones support video output over USB-C. The price of the Retroid is now less than $200. And it always doubles as a game console. Also, when I am on a trip I prefer to only use my mobile phone for essential tasks (maps, calls, tickets, etc.).

Q. What mini PC do you use?

A. Nothing special. Just a GMKtec G10. It only runs the agents. I have another gaming PC that I am going to set up for running LLMs as well, but this is for another article.
