Add me to the computer only at work club.
Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?

I use computers at work. Outside of work I use my phone, my Steamdeck, and my PS5 for my needs/entertainment. After fixing and working on computers all day, I don’t wanna even see another computer after I leave the office. So I just don’t own one. I borrow my grandma’s laptop if I absolutely need to use a computer outside of work lol.

I only use my phone when not at home. At home, it’s about 50/50 tablet/desktop.

For consumption of content, phone to laptop use is probably about 70% phone and 30% laptop.
For production of content, 20% phone and 80% laptop, with Lemmy being a large part of the 20% phone production.

I use a computer 8 hours a day and a tablet and steam deck for entertainment.

I have an inexpensive desktop plugged into my tv, for watching shows and movies. My laptop is my main computer, plugged in to a monitor and surround speakers. My phone is for laying on the couch scrolling brainrot.

I work from home, so I have a decent setup in my office involving a MacBook Pro and two monitors.
I also have an iPad that I draw with and when I’m not drawing on it I hook it to my soundbar and play music and podcasts while I work.
Phone all of the rest of the time.

My wife heavily uses her smartphone. Like, she’ll work on spreadsheets on her phone instead of grabbing her laptop.

I cannot imagine working on spreadsheets on a smartphone. I’m getting a stress headache thinking about it.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
I can. Also, the headache is 100% real.
A mobile phone is for emergency calculations only. If your life, job or honor depends on it, you can make it work, but it’s going to suck sooo hard.
A tablet can do much more as long as you have a keyboard. Also, Apple Numbers and Google Sheets are just barely acceptable for light calculations, nothing more.
When you start doing anything even a little bit more demeaning, you really need to use a laptop. Even the browser version of Excel isn’t good enough. You really need to run the actual application.

I use my phone a lot when I just don’t feel like starting up my computer

No idea about “most people”, but I absolutely still use a laptop. In fact using my laptop is more or less my default activity when I’m at home.

Ubuntu Debian Linux desktop is the best. Friends don’t let friends use windows.

I use my computer for pretty much everything but I have a projector so that shit is up on my wall.

Our house is mostly mobile. We each have a laptop but it’s more for “bigger things” like filing taxes, booking a trip, designing something, and filling out forms. We have decided that we are getting a desktop within the next year, however. We have a toddler and it’s important to me that she is able to navigate a mouse and keyboard. I work in a school library and my lesson on using the catalog in 2nd grade begins with how to use a computer mouse because I have some of the only desktops that are left in the school. (I’ve even had grown-ass adults come in and try to touch the screen).

I almost never use my phone, mostly just when I need it for authentication stuff. Hoping to be able to get rid of it at some point.
MdRuckus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I use my iPhone and MacBook equally. It is extremely rare that I use my actual tv.

Lemmy is not the demographic to ask this question. You’re definitely skewed towards using a desktop/laptop here.
