I only use Google assistant or Siri when driving.
Any other time it's quicker to just use the screen.

I can recite either of them a message to send then I gotta fix all the wrong stuff.
I don't think either of them understand "Southern Hick" language very well.

I think most smart phone just have too much on them for my liking.
I just looked at mine and have about half of the factory apps removed or disabled.
Only store apps I have are:
2 games (any easy games recommendations?)
Gasbuddy
Onx
alltrails
GoOutdoorsVA
fitbit
myfitnesspal
Avenza maps
Fordpass
outlook (this required for work)
onedrive (this required for work)
aaa
Navy Fed CU
Amex
Discover
Amazon


That don't seem like a lot compared to my wife or kids phones.

Really, seems like a waste. Rarely use the laptop at home, that would suck. They are too small IMO. Def won't use a phone...rarely even answer the thing lol. That old DT is bad to the bone. I'm good with 2, but it'll run 3 high res screens...and a real key board.

Can't believe you're good with that....gotta have that real estate at the home office.

My laptop is more powerful, and has a full keyboard.

I proof read . Nope, I said everything it right...easy to understand....

Okay, yours is more powerful then...tiny.

Give it another 10 or 15 years, you'll see what I mean..........you'll want the screen space.

Well ****... I knew I was forgetting something when I made my LMR order. I forgot spacers for the ball joints. I guess I'll have to make some out of something.

Brew, my laptop is a 17, so it's fairly decent sized. I edit all of my videos on it, and it does pretty decent.

I couldn't do it. I'll eventually need to replace, it'll be with a either a laptop capable of running the 3 NEC's (one of the best purchases I've made) without catching fire....or another DT. I use every bit of space often enough , can't do without anymore. Been spoiled too long.

EDIT: I shouldn't say 3 , I use 2 the majority 2 24's.

Work gave me a new 13" laptop! Yeah, it's nice when I have to cart it around in my backpack but I have to turn the scale up to 150% just to read the fawkin' screen! Fortunately, I have a dock connected to 27" and 24" monitors, and a Logitech MX-Keys keyboard and a mouse. When I work from a hotel (not often any more, thankfully), I use a wireless Microsoft HDMI adapter to connect it to the TV and pull out my trusty BT mouse.

They most likley have better now. Had one 30" apple cinema for about 5 years before these..wouldn't mind having two of those. That would be more than enough...comfortable.
