What? How is the fridge possibly a good location for it? In what world could that ever be true? And do you not have wall outlets in your kitchen? Put your device on the counter! I mean... what? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] melfie@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Ok, so let's say you're making dinner and you want to watch something at the same time. Perhaps you're chopping vegetables on the counter. Do you really want to be looking at the front of the fridge while you do that? If the fridge is against the same wall as the counter you need to crane your head back to see anything, and if it's on a different wall you need to turn your head a totally different direction. Why not use one of those tablet cases with a kick stand and then put the tablet right in front of you, on the counter? Like right in front of the the cutting board you're using. I don't know, I think if you do anything other than putting it right in front of you, you're gonna and up losing some fingers instead of chopping veggies. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply) [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago* The fridge is a very inconvenient location though. My tablet sits on the counter where I am prepping food when using mealie, or where I am standing to cook when I am talking with someone over Jitsi. Tablet batteries last far longer than any session I am at in the kitchen so after words it just goes to the charger for tomorrow. No need for wires during use, and its charging station is where ALL my devices chargers are. permalink fedilink source parent
