Bonjour à tous,
Comment traduiriez-vous "single-device" dans la phrase :
"Applications (both business and consumer-facing) that are single-device, single-purpose, and run on closed systems, do not enhance our lives."
"Les applications (professionnelles et destinées au grand public) basées sur un dispositif unique ?, à usage unique et
qui fonctionnent sur des systèmes fermés, n'améliorent pas nos vies"
Merci

monoappareil
I'd say the type of 'device' being referred to here is more like an appareil (mobile phone, tablet, PC, etc.)
I think the addition of the prefix mono- is commoner in FR than in EN, cf. monobloc, monodose, etc.

qui fonctionnent sur un seul appareil
qui n'ont qu'une seule fonction, et qui tournent sur des systèmes fermés, n'apportent rien à notre vie.

Jennifer Levey
: I agree with both the answer to the question, as posed, and 'une seule fonction'. The fact that the ST author is talking rubbish is, of course, OT :)

: Whilst I agree with your idea of mono-, I don't believe this is the actual meaning here: I think it is referring to a single type of device, rather than any one particular machine — that would be frankly silly! The clue is in the choice of 'device'
