When OpenClaw can't operate your device, what's the point of raising it?

Releasing the lobster, I admit I was wrong before. If you want to raise this thing, you must do it with an idle computer. Whether it's a newly purchased Mac mini or your own desktop, any idle computer will do.
For example, it's like hiring a new employee—you should assign it a new computer. This computer can be Windows or Mac, rather than letting it use a server, virtual machine, or Docker for work.
Of course, servers do have some advantages—they are indeed more convenient, saving effort and time. Now, cloud server providers all have OpenClaw images, so once you buy, it's ready to deploy, and you can start configuring and using it right away.
The downside is that this is the same as chatting directly with a large model. The lobster can't help you operate your computer, automatically open or run programs, and so on. It's the same as just opening GPT Pro or Gemini Pro—no need to go through the trouble of raising it, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
