One wind ghost and they’re gonna be cleaning sand out of those things for weeks.
One time I brought my work laptop out to the park and connected to it through VNC via a smartphone in a cheap “augmented reality” head mounted concave mirror contraption that made it look like a large monitor. Worked surprisingly well, and the stares I got while working were hilarious.
so like massive mirror like this:
or something more personal.
Trying to use a laptop for work at all is pretty terrible.
The ergonomics are shit – either the keyboard is too high or the screen is too low, and as long as the two are connected, there’s no changing that.
A laptop at the beach is merely the processor wishing to return to its natural state of being sand.
If I’m outside with my laptop, I’m not working on the laptop I’m listening to a mandatory meeting or for a notification that I need to actually do work… While I enjoy the outdoors
I recently did my Title IX training modules from my laptop while fishing on a pier over the Pacific Ocean.
Was probably the best time I ever had doing Title IX training.
I truly feel I know how to sexually harass now… while holding a fishing rod.
Working on a laptop is a miserable experience and should not be done unless you absolutely have to work while traveling. If I’m anywhere near my office or home then I’ll just put off the work to get to a desk with decent ergonomics, mechanical keyboard, proper mouse, large screen… I refuse to make the many many compromises it takes to use a laptop.
Yeah but my proper desk at home has soo much more potential for distractions…
Actually getting stuff done is easier when I’m away from home on my laptop, but the ergonomics really suck.
This thread is getting more ridiculous by the minute. I’m working on laptops for ages now. Most apps are simply always full-screen, as they would be on any monitor below 30". I use a stand and an external keyboard at home, but nothing is keeping me from fiddling the keys on the laptop itself. My neck can thankfully swivel up and down.
Once upon a time, when I got sick of northern winter, I went to Egypt and worked from there for two weeks. Did some walking around during the day, coded in the hotel suite for a while. Then at 18 o’clock sharp the sun falls beyond the horizon, the tourists disappear from the beach, meanwhile I walk out and sit in a beach chair with my laptop, enjoying the fresh breeze. Had a great time.
Likewise, in summers skating to a local park and around it, then sitting down at a tree and mashing some buttons with a view of the lake before me was glorious.
My job gave us laptops and docks. At home or in the office, you use the dock and get your monitors and desk no problem. But can still use it as just the laptop if the need arises. Good middle ground.
The laptop is for use when a proper computer isn’t available.
I recently installed a 49 inch screen, and using my laptop now feels even more like using a cell phone.
I used to have to wait till after hours to run backups and such on our servers and verify things, I wish I would have had a small laptop for that. Instead I used to drive half way home to a hole in the wall beer bar and sit down, and run them remotely from my phone. Pinching and zooming was a pain, but sitting in the office would have been wasteful, in 2-3 years of running them I only ever once thought I might have had to drive back to reboot something manually, then it came up before I finished my beer and was set for the day. That way I was already half way home, and didn’t have to sit by my lonesome being bored waiting
There’s some sadistic undertone to bringing your artificial brain made from pumping lightning into rocks to a field of underlying building blocks.
Is that Brendan Fraser on the left?
yeah but having the freedom to do it instead of being stuck in the office every day all day is awesome
