Cloud Agents Controlling Your PC Hit a Wall: Laptops Aren't Always Online
Darpinian · x · 2026-10-02
Responding to the idea of a single unified CUA (computer-use agent) platform that cloud agents could connect to and remotely control your PC with permission — running in the background so you can still use the machine normally — @Darpinian points out the core problem: most people use laptops that aren't always connected.
His alternative: make it a hardware device, a mini PC you plug into the wall at home and leave on just for agents to use.
