[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't have a computer at home. Why would I need one? I have my smartphone and I have an iPad Pro. Everything I need to accomplish in my personal life can be accomplished using those two devices.

Out of curiosity, how do you deal with storage and backups?  Or do you have nothing in digital form that is worth storing?

I have multiple desktop and laptop computers at home that I use all the time.  I couldn't really conceive of not having that stuff in 2024, but I work in IT.  (I also wouldn't want to carry a work laptop back and forth every day--we have networks for that.)

That said, it's fair that the employee noted in this thread either doesn't have a computer at home or doesn't want to use it for work.  I know people who don't have cell phones, and many of us who have them would never allow the numbers to be given out to people at work.  Either the employee goes to the office and works there, or the employer needs to provide the employee with the necessary hardware to work at home.  Including the Internet connection.[/quote]

My DW is like that. All her photos are in iCloud, and does t really keep documents. I’m the one who stores the local backups of photos, saves the tax returns, copies of resumes etc. I mean most is also in iCloud Drive but depending on all our family documents on a subscription service we pay for feels ephemeral.
