Re: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
#32Windows desktop. Fairly high end. Gaming, some side project development work.
Ubuntu laptop - XPS 9560 (don't buy one, they are crippled by thermals and poor sleep support even in windows). Mostly used for web browsing.
Re: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
#33Even some of my technical friends are somewhat aghast at what I've collected... as for stuff I actually use:
- My daily use machines - Desktop, laptop, home server (all Arch Linux)
- My girlfriend's machines - Windows 10/Arch dual boot desktop, MacBook Pro
- Our work computers which are owned by our employers - Windows 10 desktop for me, MacBook for her
- Raspberry Pis - A RPi 3 for PiHole and a RPi Zero W for controlling RGB Xmas lights we haven't taken down
- Our two iPhones, and we each have an iPad
- Various consoles. I have a bunch of retro stuff and a Switch while she has a PS4
- I still have all my older smartphones, older laptops, some additional Raspberry Pis none of which are set up with anything, but they're in the apartment

#341 main desktop
1 router, you'd probably argue this doesn't count, but my router is debian running on consumer computer hardware, with custom vpn and routing.
1 file server, this one is not strictly at home, since it's located in my company's server room for the bandwidth, but I mainly use it at home over Internet.
1 gaming laptop, connected to TV.
1 lightweight laptop in EDC bag.
3 mining rigs.
ipad and android tablet.

#35I have no idea. Countless microcontrollers and Raspberry Pis.
Re: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
#361 mac from the office
1 Asus zephyrus g14 for personal use, running Arch Linux
1 Asus (don't remember the model) laptop from 2013 running Windows. It was used extensively for my kid's online classes but is mostly gathering dust now. Maybe I'll set it up as a server one of these days.

#38Depends how we count... Car? Your smart fridge? Your Alexa?
>20, I would say. Don't know for sure, due to intransparency what contains a computer these days...
Re: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
#39Right now I use/have at home:
- one desktop in use

- one MacBook in use
- one Surface and one old Laptop somewhere in my closet

Re: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
#40Microserver, PC, Linux laptop, mine old macbook, mine current macbook, wife's macbook. 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 2 Androids. I think that there's one unpacked Pi somewhere.
