It's surprisingly common for people not to own a non-work computer other than a phone/tablet, especially now that prevalence of desktop computers is declining. Some people do still have a home desktop, or a separate personal laptop, but a lot of people I know don't. Or they might have one but it's a shared family computer that's mostly used by the kids, while parents use their work laptops.
- wolco 7y agoIf you ever owned a desktop chance are you have one now. A lot of people skipped them and went straight to an iphone.

- azurezyq 7y agoNot surprising at all. I'm also among them. Reasons are: 1. performant laptops are expensive. 2. If not for work, most of the time you don't need it.

- filoleg 7y agoIf you use your work machine for side projects, I think it is fairly clear that your employer owns the IP.

- cosmodisk 7y agoThis is correct.When all this Corona thing started,we put the entire office on remote. Before we did it,we had to assess who's got what at home. In my department it was about 20% without a laptop/pc. In others was similar.We simply gave company's PC to take home and called it a day. It's a small company, so obviously things are simpler here.
