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.
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
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.
Are they asking for a desktop you can carry like a suitcase? Because I mean they make those too lol
Also known as a large laptop
Surely at some point they become a lapbottom once it's big enough to sit on the case while you use it.
Imagine not using a pelican case for your macbook.
They used to make "portables" which were a desktop PC in a suitcase with a built-in screen and a keyboard that covered the screen.
This was, of course, most common back when laptops were prohibitively expensive
Yep, they used to have to dial in ones too with the receiver attachment
I am pretty sure they said desktops which you can carry in a suitcase very clearly
Imagine if I could take my landline phone anywhere without needing to plug it into a phone jack.
So, not a modern smartphone?a
I think he said landline phone very clearly.
Some people should require a license to operate technology.

"Mayo is an oil that you can cook in"... WTF NO
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'!
Just Hook it up to a UPS
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?
And then attach a screen so it could close down on itself?
I think we're onto something here
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
What if it was light enough to sit on your lap?
To be faire I'm a bit sick of those bluetootj cables
All laptops are collectively owned
Laptop smartphone tablet. All personal computing devices that are able to be taken anywhere
I agree I wish wireless PCs existed so I could have worked from anywhere !

Hahah!!
Tut. He CLEARLY said PCs.
Acronyms are not pluralized with an apostrophe
Did your phone pick the wrong word there? Because I think you meant to say acronym, not anagram...
Lol no autocorrect just me typing the wrong thing
Acronyms*

Your title was correct, I'm making fun of the confidently incorrect guy
I know, I just enjoyed the “all laptops are collectively owned” comment 🙂

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.
