I'm at 10 computers within arms reach if I'm sitting at my desk at home and I need validation that that's not abnormal.

So far it's not looking good.

Make that 11. I just found another.
Nevermind. 12.
Uhhh. 13.

Ok final list.

  • Desktop PC
  • Personal phone
  • Pebble watch
  • Kobo e-reader
  • XTEINK e-reader
  • Work Macbook
  • Work phone
  • Wife's Macbook (I have to lean a little over to her desk so this one's questionable)
  • Steam Deck
  • PSP
  • PineTime
  • Home server
  • Old school laptop
  • Quest 2

Wait that's 14.

  • Laptop
  • Tangara

Oh, there's also a 2012 laptop down in my desk, but I'd have to open up a cabinet, clear some stuff out of the way, pull it out, and plug it in (since it doesn't have a working battery). Not gonna count that as "within reach".
