I create the poll to prove me or the other wrong.
Bonniegirl 10-25-2020, 12:49 AM I use both a laptop and my cellphone!:) Right now more my cell because my computer is pretty much crashed and I really need a new one! But when my computer was good and or when I get a new one , I'd say maybe I'd use the computer a little bit more? But than I am pretty mobile, not always in my house, so the cell phone posting is really good and very convenient but the computer screen is bigger of course which is a plus ! So that is why I voted both!;)
RetroGuy2000 10-25-2020, 12:58 AM I mostly use a laptop for accessing SO, but have also used my smartphone. I would use the phone more often, but it's hard to see without a mobile app (you have to scroll a lot).
I use both, but I use my phone a lot of times.

So, based on current poll results, which one of you is “winning”?
icecream 10-28-2020, 11:52 PM So, based on current poll results, which one of you is “winning”?Since there have been only 6 voters so far, including me and the poster who started this poll, the results can't really be considered accurate. I just checked, we have over 900 visitors at this moment. 6 is obviously a really teeny percentage of that high total. Several posters/lurkers on this site probably don't even know about the site feedback forum, or don't care to visit it.
icecream 10-29-2020, 10:42 AM A big advantage desktops have over laptops and phones: desktops never need charged and always remain at 100% power. :cool:

The big disadvantage about desktops is that they stay at their own places/positions most of their times, and they consume more physical space. Furthermore, with the ongoing pandemic, using a shared desktop in a public place would be riskier, even with gloves and face masks. Moreover, Windows 10 is becoming a messier OS to use, putting various devices by different manufacturers at odds with especially newer updates. Thank god I still have (unsupported) Windows 7. If I have enough time and money, then I can switch to one of iMacs. Setting up a Linux distros, to which I originally want to switch, is too much of a hassle especially for an average user.
icecream 10-29-2020, 04:55 PM I wasn't really referring to public places. I use my computer from the privacy of my apartment, and also use my mom's desktop when I am at my parents' house. At my apartment I have had three different computers (seems more like two as it has been the same monitor for the last two) since I moved there, all in a convenient place on top of its desk that has been there basically from the start.
icecream 10-29-2020, 04:59 PM Also, I hate anything touchscreen, which is why I still have a flip phone. It seems like constantly having to touch the screen would create a lot more germs than using a mouse and keyboard.
george ho 10-29-2020, 05:01 PM Which OS? If it's Windows 10, then which edition and version?
icecream 10-29-2020, 05:09 PM I am not sure what version, brand name is HP. It is probably the current Windows as I have a Microsoft account that I like playing their MSC (Microsoft Solitaire Collection).
george ho 10-29-2020, 05:40 PM Go to Settings from the Start menu and open "About" and then select "Device specifications". Details at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/which-version-of-windows-operating-system-am-i-running-628bec99-476a-2c13-5296-9dd081cdd808
My mom and I were talking about phones yesterday, and she said that flip phones are coming back.
Torgo 11-03-2020, 12:30 PM I voted Computer, smartphone, tablet.
I mainly use my desktop down in the basement, but also use phone, tablet, and sometimes even my Kindle Fire. Depends on where I'm at in the house, or what I feel like using.

Probably would have gotten more replies if it was over on Chit Chat
