@endrift slightly tempted to count my Steam Deck as a tablet :p

nah, other than that, the only "large touchscreen with computer attached" we have is a PineTab that lives in a drawer doing nothing... oh, there's a long-disused Nexus 7 on the table here that we found again recently, for 2012's idea of what a tablet is

@Skirmisher I loved my Nexus 7 at the time. It should still work today but the onboard storage is so slow that it is unsusable now. @endrift

@Skirmisher @endrift

Could be a "Desktop," you know. ;->

@endrift I have a laptop, a smartphone and a Nintendo Switch in regular use.

My dad has also gifted me a Samsung tablet years ago, but only my mom uses it (mostly for solitaire and similar games, and to look up supermarket sale brochures)
@endrift if I have a work laptop(bought by the company, used almost solely to work on it: I can do some personal search on it, for example, but no personal email, social media or messenger accounts, only the work ones), and normally donโ€™t bring it home, unless work from home temporarily once in a while, do I vote for it or not?

@olena @endrift Perhaps the question should be slightly rephrased, with the addition of 'own' either beside or instead of 'have'.

In the former case, I have and use two laptops, one of which I do not own, as it was issued to me by my employer. The same goes for my company iPhone, which I also have and use but do not own.

@endrift I have an iPhone 4s (2011) which I use as a dumb phone
@endrift
I marked Smartphone, Laptop & Desktop, but I only use my Desktop as my main computing device. The others are there just for the rare occasion when I need them (I use a landphone for voice and a non-smart cellphone for text sms messages).
@endrift Including work devices which I use at home? Or only ones owned by me?
@endrift Phone for messages, laptop for work, desktop for fun, tablet for playing soothing vidoes in bed, ancient pebble watch so I don't need to look at my phone as much.

@endrift Daily using first 3 items plus PDA to manage my shopping lists

@evgandr

/me salutes that use of fine-looking hardware

@endrift

@endrift How about a server that sits on the floor, under the two desktop PCs?
@endrift all of the above. All coincidentally Apple products too.
@endrift does "mi band 6" count as a "smart" watch?

@endrift unfortunately, I barely use my tablet, because it's the token Apple device that I keep around for FaceTime calls with biofamily, so I can't put adblockers on it

I also rarely use my smartwatch because I hate wearing jewelry, but I'm still proud of it because it's a trophy from the job that laid me off without warning and then never acknowledged my "do you want this back" emails

@WizardOfDocs I approve you keeping that item from the job that fired you! ๐Ÿ˜„

@endrift I only use my phone as a phone and occasionally to take pictures :p

@endrift

Gave up on the Desktop thing over a decade ago when I went 100% portable, with Laptops, traveling full time for work.

Have a Smartwatch. Stopped using it. Failed to find it all that useful. I just don't see the value to having such frequent distractions with text messages, meeting reminders, and such. My cell phone is on my belt, and my paper DayTimer is good. My cell phone is "too easy" to access already.

@endrift

I've been thinking about a Tablet, for really portable computing. But my phone screen is big enough for relatively infrequent use, as I usually have access to a laptop. I do very much like the large screen and keyboard of a laptop.

Microsoft might force me to buy and "upgrade" to a new computer, with the whole "Windows 10 NOT SUPPORTED" thing. Maybe a "mini tower." Then I might "need" a tablet. Maybe.

โœ•

@endrift - I use them all, but desktop and smartphone are the ones I use on the daily.
@endrift hmmmm

- does a laptop that's docked 90% of the time count as a laptop or a desktop
- does steam deck count as a tablet?
- does switch count as a tablet?
@endrift

- does steam deck plugged into the same peripherals as my laptop count as desktop or tablet or none
@endrift since it only lets you choose one, it ought to say which of these do you have and use most
@valiant8086 It's multiple choice. If you can only choose one then your client is at fault
@endrift oh ok. I didn't know they could ever make them multiple choice. let's see if I can do it on the webpage
@endrift somehow feels weird to say โ€œeverything but a desktopโ€

@endrift

My Laptop is a 2in1.
What I am completely missing from the list: Servers, NAS, mediacenterโ€ฆ

@Lapizistik @endrift

Servers is an exploding list... next machine will be a *dedicated* server. First thing on it will be git.

@endrift Once you start wearing a smartwatch, and get used to getting all notifications directly on your wrist, you can't survive without it ๐Ÿ˜„
@endrift
I have a laptop, too, but I rarely use it. 99.9% iPad and iPhone.
@endrift
Is a portable like a steam deck or rog ally a tablet or laptop
@DiodeHyena I really should have put an option for gaming handheld tbh. Too late now

@endrift I have a smartphone but only because I can't afford to get a dumbphone. As soon as I have enough money to do so I'm gonna switch to:

  • Dumbphone for calls, texts
  • Hacked iPod or homemade equivalent for music

@endrift I have a generic Google Fit compatible watch, but I'm not sure how "smart" it really is. When it breaks, I probably won't replace it.

Still I checked "Smartwatch".

@endrift If I was a wrist watch person I probably would have a smart watch but alas I don't like wearing watches on my wrists so I just use my phone as a pocket watch.

Got everything else tho lmao

@endrift missing a "half rack in the utility room at home" option
@hiredman As someone who has one of those, I feel like that's a thing less than 1% of the respondents to this would have.
@endrift yeah, but it feels like the fediverse might be the highest percentage of those

@endrift

Not quite sure where "Raspberry Pi" (and its ilk) should fall. Otherwise, multiple laptops/netbooks and a smartphone

@endrift did you put the options in the expected rank order on purpose or is this just a cool coincidence?
@endrift
A bit of a methodological error here: you can't access mastadon on "nothing" or a smartwatch
@Antiroo I never claimed it was scientific. This is hardly what I'd call an average slice of the world
@endrift sadly, looks like I can't do anything now that I already submitted my vote.

@endrift I'd include my Kindles, my AppleTVs, my iPod Touch (which still works great) and my PlayStation too.

I sometimes laugh at all the screen sizes I have at hand, my smartwatches, my iPod Touch, my phones, my small tablet, my kindles, my large tablet, my laptops, my desktops/monitors, my TV, and my projector...

@endrift we have to stretch the definitions quite a bit for some of these answers, and most of our computing devices fall in none of these categories
