Wait other people carry their laptop with them when they’re on call? I just make sure to never be an hour away from my laptop lol (ideally only 15 minutes away but I won’t reschedule anything)
I generally do the same. It doesn’t have to be my work laptop, mind you, just a laptop. Usually my personal laptop.
As long as it’s in a reasonable walking distance from me, I’m good. Eg. If I go out for dinner, I’ll toss my bag in the car and I’ll leave it in the car unless I get a page.
I’m a stay at home dad now and sometimes they drive me crazy (right now actually. If I could kick the dogs out it would probably make my life easier. FUCK YOU MR. PISS ON THE FLOOR!).
Even when they drive me so crazy I feel like I’m about to have an aneurysm, life is easy mode compared to IT.
My Computer, Computer, and This PC ain’t my goddamn problem anymore. Woooooohooooooo!

I’ve been “on call” for over a decade.
If I go anywhere more than walking distance I take a laptop.
yeah it’s shitty, but other than the CEO I’ll be the last person to lose my job.
I spent a decade on call.
The last few years, they would call and call and call…
I wouldn’t answer though

I’d rather hook into Wi-Fi/hotspot and work without making my whole family leave or be stranded somewhere just because I got a call.
My god I don’t miss that life.
