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.
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
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
Surely at some point they become a lapbottom once it’s big enough to sit on the case while you use it.
I am pretty sure they said desktops which you can carry in a suitcase very clearly
Some people should require a license to operate technology.

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.
“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’!
I agree I wish wireless PCs existed so I could have worked from anywhere !
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.
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?
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?
I think we’re onto something here
