I never use my friend's computers, library computers, or anyone else's computers to log into my personal accounts when I can afford to have my own devices. The thought of entering passwords into devices that you don't own and trust horrifies me. Even if someone is trustworthy, their devices could be compromised. Not to mention that it can make your friends uncomfortable if you're borrowing their computers all the time.

It's not like I'm running around living my life on other people's computers. The guy I replied to said he had no idea how to apply this to personal computing to get any advantages. "I spend 90% of my time sitting at my desk, using my desktop, doing normal boring work." isn't really a good demonstration of any advantage. Most of my work _is_ done from my desktop. The bulk of the remainder is done from my laptop. For that alone I find enough advantage to keep doing it. Zero context lost bouncing around. But when I _was_ moving across the country, it was certainly nice not having my ability to earn an income any given day tied to a single device. When I was effectively homeless in my month-long move and staying with family at one point I did end up using their computer a couple times. You'll just have to take my word for it that they were okay with it.
