Craziest to me was that 82% visited on mobile (with a 2:1 iOS:Android ratio). Perhaps this is a consequence of most visits being from Elon's tweet.

Also had a 2:1 desktop:laptop ratio -- would have guessed more laptops. (The author questions how Plausible determined this.)

For my personal analytics without third party dependencies for privacy reasons I use the fact that Javascript allows access to the battery API, so a laptop uses a desktop browser, with a desktop resolution and zoom, while still having a battery.

This is kind of in line with the statistics for one property I manage: 88% of visitors use mobile devices (26k visits/month).

I've heard several times that at this point most people do most computing on phones. Consumers increasing don't own desktops/laptops at all.
