There must be some difference, as otherwise my washing machine would be a computer too since it has a screen, input, and an operating system; and conversely that the Windows phone wouldn’t have had such a brief existence.
- alanbernstein 2y agoPerhaps the difference between a phone and a washing machine is, uh, the plumbing?
- manwe150 2y agoSo you're saying having plumbing in the computer makes it not a computer? What about water-cooled gaming and HPC systems: are they computers?
- alanbernstein 2y agoDo I really need to clarify that the primary purpose of a washing machine is not to compute, but to wash?
- ASalazarMX 2y agoCertain kind of plumbing, as in the kind that allows the computer to wash clothes.
