Ah, thanks for explaining. Guess I'm just old. I do my piracy on a regular computer.
Like with one of those pads with the clickly letters like gamers use?
They're awesome. There are foldable ones which you can carry around. Or big ones that you don't even need to charge, because they're directly hooked to the power grid. You don't need to hold them, because they sit on the table. Have about 105 separate keys (ever wondered what your 8 other fingers are for?), a mega large screen... Mine even has 2 screens, I can open like 5 apps at the same time! They have headphone jacks, sd-slots, multiple(!) charging ports which you can use for other things than charging... almost endless storage... And there are very smooth operating systems available, which don't even lock you into Google or Apple's ecosystem... I really like them!
Best thing is, they won't even drop out of cellphone coverage when you go grocery shopping. You'll just leave them at home and they keep on downloading. Once you return, you might have all bad sitcoms of the 90s saved on them.
Don't you miss them when you leave them at home? That part sounds sad.
The big one is fine. I think it's already grown up. And does most of the chores around. And the small one: I tend to bring it with me. I carry it in my backpack, especially to some nerd activities. I don't think there is any rivalry. They're individuals and I think my machines all feel my love and affection. No, I don't miss them in day to day life. We'll meet each afternoon anyways and I think some leeway is healthy. But that changes if I go on vacation for a week. I sometimes really miss them when I'm in a different city for several days... Idk. Seems one-sided anyways, because they then just sleep all day like a cat and don't really mind my absence.
