I agree it would have been clearer to have specified "or computing device". But since "device" is commonly used to refer collectively to phones, phablets, and tablets, I've seen very few people so certain that it meant "all possible devices ever manufactured for any purpose however specialized" that they felt compelled to spam "RunRev doesn't care" all over the forums.
Given this expectation, and that the number of folks using Lua, Python, or JavaScript is far larger than our humble LiveCode audience, one might ask whether the core dev teams for those and other scripting language has provided you built-in commands for the specific device you have?
