Phone = small

Tablet = medium

Desktop = big

Laptop = worst mashup of everything

This is it exactly. Touch screen interfaces feel too clunky or imprecise to quickly search for a lot of stuff. Maybe it’s because there is an animation between every action like switching tabs it’s not a quick thing to do and multiple on screen windows is not an option.

My phone is for chatting, videos, and Lemmy/mastodon.

This.

Plus, if you need to check the price on multiple airlines or services, switching back and forth between multiple tabs is so much easier on a laptop (or even...a desktop with multiple monitors gasp, clutching pearls).

Plus plus, it's so much faster and easier to type in all your info on a real keyboard (or maybe that's just me showing my age)

Also my computer doesn't auto"correct".

Most importantly, phones are shitto compare stuff. Or multitask.

It's actually the opposite. They're laggy because they have so much bloat to track you, to advertise to you, to steal your identity - they absolutely want you to use them.

Also Desktop users are far more likely to use an ad blocker. Breaks most of the bloat.

Yep. Images are better, text isn’t as hidden, form fill is better on a desktop browser. It’s just better on a desktop with a big screen.

And since they said laptop they possibly mean shitty keyboard and shitty trackpad. Desktop ftw.

Houses have to be done in person so the screen is both your eyeballs.

Even though it's far harder to read through 7,000 pages of legalese you have no ability to read regardless. Can't Ctrl+F 'First born child'.

Extra tabs help a lot

My reason is that I'm less likely to make a mistake on the computer.

• larger screen
• physical keyboard and actual mouse
• no chance of a random call or notification covering half the screen

Or more simply

• its easier to do things on the computer, so sensitive tasks are easier to do on the computer

Was your father a Navy vet? The Navy has/(had?) voice powered phones on the ships, so that was literally how it worked. The farther away the other phone was, the louder you had to shout.

My dad still does this. He yells into the phone (on speaker) as if he was screaming for his life. He's a successful businessman whose sole job is to talk to people and somehow convince them to work together or win a project over. I don't know how he does this by yelling into his phone as if he was shouting at strangers to call an ambulance. He also has hardly any knowledge of English and his German really sucks, yet he mostly works with these two languages. I don't know how he makes it work. And he hates talking on the phone because it stresses him out. But somehow addressing the fact he is trying to make crocodile dundee hear him when he uses a phone doesn't seem to be the answer to his stress.

He grew up in a remote soviet village with like one phone for everyone. My guess is the connection back in the days sucked and he never adjusted.

Yeah but usually for booking flights I need multiple tabs on different search sites, plus a calendar and other details up at the same time.

If it's a simple itinerary sure, do it on the phone.
