Cellular 4G/5G + Laptop. I want to hear the excuses for this combo.

Ok: How do you charge your device?

A generator is the obvious answer.

Beyond just the charging (lol), whatever happened to allowing inclement weather to slow life down for a few days? Snow days are the universe forcing you to take a break.

In a power outage scenario, you're gonna be saving your mobile battery for more necessary requirements. The geeks can wait a few days for their new kernel version.

That doesn't sound like Linus Torvalds.

What's funny? You charge with batteries. Everyone has batteries these days.

It uses power like everything else.

Torvalds can't afford a battery? An M process can probably last for several days with an external battery.

Tesla should donate a MegaPack battery to him :)

Or a battery. It's weird that everyone that replied forgot about batteries.

I cannot imagine losing power for an hour, let alone a week. I grew up in rural Australia and it's completely unfathomable to me that anywhere in the first world could go without power for so long.
