I used to stress everytime I got a new computer because I was very picky about giving it a good short name. But nowadays I always have a number of computers in use (each with different purposes) and they just have names appended with numbers. So my primary personal laptop used to be Batman, but when I got a new one its called Batman2 and so on. Helps me track the role of the computer and its generation without decision paralysis on choosing a new good name.
- Waterluvian 3y agoI just name them after their role. Like mediapc, worklaptop, gamingpc, toastermanager
- Eddy_Viscosity2 3y agoMy computers sometimes have to interact with larger networks and generic names 'worklaptop' would not be distinct enough to be good names. Except for toastermanager, I like this one in its own right.
- Waterluvian 3y agome showing up on the network, also named Batman Well one of us is going to have to change!
