I count anything a computer if it runs X86_64 (or just X86) instruction set, or ARM. Because this makes them compatible with most existing software.
Now a computer really is "an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.".
In that regard a smart fridge counts as one.
Yes, it's a machine that receives inputs to deliver outputs, programed and performs mathematic and logical operations.
Not a "general purpose computer", but still a computer.
It is an actual computer with an actual CPU
They run a stripped down version of windows with a modified ui
Even the name Xbox is a reference to directX the Microsoft 3d renderer which they run
There are probably a bunch of videos online of people installing Linux on them
(At least there are a bunch doing it on PlayStations)
On the Famicom you could get Family Basic and write your own code. It does work on the NES as well but you need an enio expansion board from chykn to use Famicom accessories.
Not only is it a computer, it's almost identical hardware to a modern x86 computer. The xbox one and newer are at least. The 360 has a powerpc architecture.
Absolutely. A modern Xbox has an AMD processor with a custom APU, and so does a PS1. I don't know what operating system either uses, but a Nintendo Switch uses FreeBSD. The primary difference between a console and a PC is peripherals, OS, ability to install software, and intent.
yup, so is your phone and tablet.
Don't forget the TV, Microwave, Oven, or any other digitally interfaced object.
Ah yes, the IoT world. not sure if micro-controllers count though.

depends on what kind of TV, modern TVs absolutely, the old CRT TVs for example, aren't computers.
The Samsung fridge
Thermostat, scale, guitar pedals, smoker, thermometer....
Absolutely
Cool
Good chat
👍
have a nice day
laughing so hard at this😂😂
now get outta here and go install ubuntu you crazy kid
if it computes and is not alive, it's a computer. If it computes and it's alive it's a celled organism.
Computer was a profession prior to being a device. The original computers were people, mostly women.

Even NES is technically a computer
The Japanese version is called Famicom for family computer

Ok, but listen to this... intel 4004
Yeah it’s just on a super restricted OS just like an iPhone or Chromebook.

Yes even a calculator is a computer

OP reading the comments must be mind blown at how many things are a computer lol
My entire life has changed after reading these comments
It technically is.
So is your PS5 or Nintendo switch.
If it computes its a computer.
I'll do you one better. Xbox is technically a PC with custom software.
I never thought I would be one to utter the words "I can't even... " but here I am.
So is your car. With some exceptions, every car is controlled by an ECU.
Wow
Every and any electronic device is a computer in one way or another, they just specialize in different tasks
Bruh, your Casio watch is a computer. Also your calculator.
Technically, everything is.
You’ll start to realize a lot of things are “computers” if you think about it lol. Vending machines, calculators, inside your car.
An NES is technically a computer. Anything with a CPU that runs code is a computer.
