@jp Three. The Thinkpad I'm typing on now, an iPhone, and the old Thinkpad I don't use much anymore. (I'd have to stand on a chair to reach that one, but I can see it from here so I think it should count).

@jp fun but difficult! what is the length of a standarized arm? Am i allowed to rotate on the office chair, to grab anything right behind me? I am not really that flexible. How much stretching is allowed? Also must the computer be 100% operational or can it have a defect?. Eg: if i have 2 partial computers that are going to become one operational one, do i count 2, 1 or 0? Not that it matters since scale stop at 10+

@jp I assumed "within arms reach" means "same room" here. I can reach any of the devices by moving chair 1m to the side. :-) 1. Work laptop 2. Work phone 3. Desktop 4. Personal laptop 5. Old MSI U100 6. Personal phone 7. Smartwatch 8. Old HP laptop 9. Old HP laptop 11. Old Toughbook 12. 3DS 13. 3DS 14. Nokia 800 + few broken phones Basically all of the above except one of the HPs can be turned on and used any moment. "Old" have modern, supported Linux distros on them, even 25+ y.o. Toughbook.

@jp Only two, but I am still in bed. If I was at my desk, four. No, five, and with a quick scoot across the room, seven. But three of those would be dead phones.

@jp@polymaths.social I was thinking... Hm... 1... Yeah jus... wait... that, and that and that... I still may have missed something, and honestly ... yeah probably 10+ not four. I mean, some I'm not sure can be considered a computer, but yeah probably 10+ to be honest.

@jp Nemám rád Šmouly ... a ankety ;) PS: můj první počítač měl násobně menší výkon než moje hodinky - takže jako počítač se berou i hodinky, chytré prsteny, mobily, mp4 přehrávače, chytrá lampička, chytrá zásuvka ... ? #sameocasky (Czech humorous anagram for self-questions)

@valhalla@social.gl-como.it 2026-03-31 13:08
@jp should I count the 4/5 -old-vintage laptops I can easily reach with my feet (but would require going under the desktop to reach them with my hands)? otherwise it's just two, most of the other ones I used to have nearby have been moved on the other side of the room and then there are the laptops actually in use, but those are spread out around the house

@RecoveredExpert@mastodon.social 2026-03-31 16:33
@jp General purpose computers? 3 current Mac, 2 discontinued/unsupported Mac, 2 Rasperry Pi, 2 iPhone, 1 iPad, 2 „NAS“*, 1 FreeBSD Xeon Server server. Not counted: various devices with „computers“ im them, but not being general purpose „computers“: digital cameras, VoIP phone, laser printer, ethernet switches, router, cable modem and a DSL modem. I won‘t even try to think about all the devices with some microcontroller in them. * old one goes to another location this summer

@InarticulateOtter@mastodon.social 2026-04-01 02:52
@jp it's a slippery concept, I keep finding new ones. Also how many billion transistors are there in the room with me right now?

@yakmacker@society.kalli.st 2026-03-31 04:24
@jp I would like to point out that three of them are non-functioning cell phones

@joewells@mastodon.social 2026-03-31 03:44
@jp Only one, since I'm in the wrong room for a high score, but I'm also in arm's reach of our dog, so that makes up for it

@jp Do they have to be operational? :-) Anyway, I'm noticing a suspicious bump around 8. The octopi have infiltrated fedi.

@derek@www.glidden.life 2026-03-31 02:37
@jp Four cellphones, three SDRs, two Pis, a couple of HackRFs (more SDRs?), two laptops, a Sony Vita, a Nintendo 3DS... probably a couple of other things under the piles that I've forgotten about. I may have a problem.
