Wireless PCs…

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
  
  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
  
  I am pretty sure they said desktops which you can carry in a suitcase very clearly
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'!
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?
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.
