Wow, this sounds straight out of a movie about the future! 🤖 Literally two computers are combined into one. I would like to use such a feature at work, it would definitely come in handy.

A very cool idea from Intel, finally there is a simple technology for collaboration across different devices. Previously, you had to fence off servers, but here everything is in one place. 🔥

Eh, I immediately remember my youth, when we launched cool programs on only one PC in the area! 😅 They said that soon it will be possible to share everything between computers. It's finally happened!

I don't understand the point of this thing. 🙄 Why share your devices with others? Dangerous for privacy, and additional features are not needed. One old computer is enough for me.

What about security @AlexeyK? 🔐 The news says that Thunderbolt Share encrypts the connection. So no need to worry about privacy.

Awesome stuff, I really want to try it! 😍 I remember at university we often did projects together and we had to constantly carry around flash drives. And now everything is much simpler and more convenient.

It’s a pity that it’s not entirely clear yet about video card support. It would be very cool to use a powerful gaming PC to work somewhere remotely. 💻🔥 In any case, the technology is promising, we will wait for updates from Intel.
