Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:What do you use your tablet for? I bought one and almost never use it I mean I just got it so I'm still in the fun tinkering phase but I'm screwing around with things like Moonlight, Steam Link, Geforce Now & Parsec for remote desktop capability, Superdisplay to extend your monitor space. Then the notetaking capabilities with the pen + voice to text are pretty good so it's pretty easy to just use it to send email replies and whatnot. Also appreciate the 'DeX' mode on my Samsung one so that it kind of mimicks a desktop GUI. You can have a couple of windows open at once, or play a game in windowed mode, etc. Tabletop Simulator is excellent on a device like this. My friends will appreciate that. Most of the time I'm just browsing websites anyway, and the main reason I got it was so I can walk the house and take tv with me. Having "my desktop" available while I'm lying in bed is nice. To me. It's also kind of crazy how powerful they are these days. It should run most any emulator / boring old man game I need it to. Counterpoint: It took me like, what, 15 years to take a risk on a tablet. I had also thought of them as mostly useless or inferior, and might feel like you in a few months. As of today, I can't imagine taking a full laptop anywhere I could bring this thing.

Not op but I have an adjustable stand and use my tablet to watch shows/YouTube in bed or on the couch. It's made hangovers and sick days pretty chill. But I also don't have a tv aside from laptop/PC screens.

Embrace floating windows on a tablet and you'll have a much better experience with most things, especially if it's freeflowing text. Newspapers are written in columns for a reason, you don't want to read SA in 11pt font going all the way across a screen that's around the size of a full sheet of paper. Save using the full screen for emulating gamecube games and watching porn

I prefer 2-in-1 devices to tablets, but in tablet mode they are great for reading the news while sitting on the toilet. That's like 90% of my use-case for them. I know a lot of people use them for drawing and such, but I haven't gotten around to trying that despite having a pen for one of my devices.

I didn't mean to be confrontational I just really wish I used my tablet more. I read books on my phone or Kindle or in actual book form. I watch TV in bed on my bedroom TV. I take notes on my phone, my tablet doesn't have a pen. I can't figure out one thing the tablet does that my other devices don't, so it mostly lives in a drawer. The only times I have really used it are when I'm traveling and there's a hotel room TV that I can't connect my Roku to, or to control a bluetooth speaker in a party situation.

My phone/toilet is too small for that. I will admit the pen makes the experience for me. It's so natural to use and I love it.

We do all the shopping on one tablet in the house. All the subscriptions logins are on there and we have shortcuts to Walmart+, Amazon Prime, etc. The tablet gets used for almost nothing else. We joke its a smart fridge because it sticks to a few surfaces in the kitchen.

A Strange Aeon posted:Curious about this too. I got a good deal on an iPad air and I wanted it primarily to read pdfs in a close to real page size, which it works for. But for most consumption of stuff I'd use my phone for SA or my PC for gaming, so I just don't really do much with the tablet other than bring it to my monthly OSE game to access rpg stuff. I pretty much use my phone for just calls/texts/emails, and do everything else on tablet. Books, magazines, websites, graphic novels, whatever. tablet is also my “lie in bed and shitpost/online shop/audiobook” machine. way more hours on the tablet, also keeps the phone battery fresher. That’s my ipad story, ty.

Washing your tablet is an important step in the prep process, but many people are lax about making sure they then cook them to a safe temperature before consuming.

I think you should definitely sanitize your tablet before inserting it anywhere in your body, you don't wanna get an infection
