A phone is a computer
This just struck me, this is the key. They can argue that a phone is traditionally thought of as a phone. Even though technically it’s a computer, in common parlance it is called a phone. Then by extension, he wasn’t streaming on a computer, he was streaming on a laptop. So they will argue a computer is desktop.
They'll argue that a computer is a woman who performs calculations and since slavery is illegal he doesn't own one.
As opposed to those digital computers that we use and have everywhere.
Those aren't computers! They're PCs! And that doesn't stand for anything.
