    Imagine if I could take my landline phone anywhere without needing to plug it into a phone jack.

    This just reminds me of those stupid fucking ads that said “I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC!” And idiots everywhere just assumed Macs weren’t PCs. People are friggin’ dumb.

    Also Miracle Whip is not comparable to mayo. They’re not even close. Mayo is an oil that you can cook in. Miracle Whip is a salad dressing that burns in heat. They don’t even taste alike. Blame Kraft for their on-label bullshit.

        What, you never made a grilled cheese with mayo instead of butter? Or grilled a burger bun in mayo instead of butter? It’s worth it, yo ^^

      Given the age of Lemmy users, most people here probably consider PC to mean ‘IBM compatible’!

      Then it will be a UPS + a PC, not a PC. Come on now, DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT THE OP SAID? HE CLEARLY SAID A PC!

        Maybe we can put the UPS “inside” PC casing?

            Imagine if the keyboard was integrated in the case so you wouldn’t have to carry one around with your portable PC! I reckon we’ve got a revolutionary idea going here

      Best we can do is we’ll give you laptops but you still have to come to the office for 8 hours every day, fight with your coworkers for one of the places to sit in or you’ll have to use an underfilled pouf on a corner. What do you mean parking bonus? No, buses don’t come to this part of downtown, you’ll have to walk from the train station 3 km away. We have WiFi, but only management machines are allowed, we have conveniently placed ethernet ports around the office, you can bring your own cable or use one of our one foot cables that IT made with spares.

    Laptops are kind of a misnomer. It’s really not a good idea to use a laptop on your lap. That’s a great way to make them over heat. Mobile computer (MC) would be better

      Just like “mobile phone” makes more sense than “cellular phones”.

        Cellular phone makes perfect sense though. It’s a nod to the technology that makes their existence possible. My old 2.4GHz cordless house phone was technically “mobile”; it just couldn’t go too far.
