Same. Although I have a few physical calculators, I rarely use them, because although for a simple calculation they're faster, when I'm already at a computer/phone, using that is faster, and when I want to do anything involving programming an actual programming langugage is better.


Physical devices can be great where you have dust and water issues that can make a phone nearly impossible to use.

Of course, then a $5 calculator may serve you better ...


My HP41CV died after a few decades and a full repair didn’t seem feasible. The Swiss Micro seemed tempting but I honestly really wouldn’t use it.
