CanadaPlus, in Without looking at a map, what region of the US do you think Kentucky is?

Definitely the south, but I recall it’s weirdly far north for that.

justanotherjo, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Laptop - it does everything a computer needs to do in one compact, easy to handle package. Even the cheapest of laptops is faster and more powerful than what the vast majority of people need these days, and since virtually everything is web based, I don't even own a computer. I use my phone/tablet for everything. Work supplies the laptop.

they both have there pros and cons, but i prefer desktop becasue you can set up your own liitle computer area and desktops can be custimized more than a laptopbut laptops ar eportable and often cheaper and some things about a laptop can be anoying.

Ecology8622, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

I require both. Laptop is a real laptop and not a Chromebook.

I just use my desktop on my lap. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I had to choose only one, it would be a desktop. The experience of using a machine with a good keyboard/mouse and large monitors can’t be beat, plus it’s much cheaper for the same quality of hardware. The main downside is that it’s not portable. Whether I’m working or gaming, I’m confined to that one desk. I can’t work on the couch, in the park, in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, or anywhere else I might find myself that day.

The ideal setup is to have both. A desktop for when I can be at my desk, and a cheap laptop that I can use to remote into said desktop. That way, you get the convenience of a laptop with the power of a desktop at a much more reasonable price.

jayknight,

A monitor and keyboard/mouse that you can attach to your laptop gives you the best of both worlds.

But a desktop/workstation that you can leave on and double as a server for some things is nice to have.

darkan15,

I use my old laptop as a server, and so far no issues with leaving it on 24/7

This is a great (free) illustrated book about logical fallacies:

This was a great read. Thanks!

Laptop and Chromebook are two very different things. A laptop is sufficient for any use case that doesn’t demand GPU power, but if you’re ever considering buying a “gaming” laptop, don’t. You can get a cheap laptop and a decent gaming desktop for the same price and they’ll last you longer and run better.

A Chromebook is just walled garden bullshit.

Hazzia, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Porqué no los dos?

But frfr I can’t imagine not having both. I’ve got enough power on my desktop to run modern games, do graphical rendering, run IDEs, and fuck around online pretty much simultaneously. Then I have a ThinkPad T14 for leaving the house to pretend I’m touching grass while actually just doing more developer shit.

Yearly1845, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

For work I use a laptop

I was desktop-only during my whole college studies and gotta say, I really enjoy the freedom that working from a laptop gives you (especially being a remote worker). I like the fact that I can now dedicate my desktop setup for gaming and entertainment, it keeps work and daily life separated :)

hoodlem, in Do people become less of a twat as they age?

Less of a twat, but more cranky.

someguy3, in What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?

I like jerboa on list view.

raubarno, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Ideally, I’d use a high-performance stationary computer as a workstation and a laptop as a terminal (for small work and SSH access).

However, it would by more expensive, not power-efficient, you would always need an internet connection for your laptop, a static IP address and you will need to handle power outages/unexpected shutdowns for your computer.

Edit: So this is why I use a laptop nowadays.

someguy3, (edited ) in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Completely depends if you need to carry it around.

For best of both worlds: Docked laptop with full monitor and maybe keyboard. You can find monitors everywhere for cheap.
