But it isn't? At least, not for productivity uses. You will have to have your keyboard and the external battery with you. Which is a surprising amount of junk to carry everywhere.
I can almost see this being ok for waiting room and flights. The waiting room, though, you will not want to lose your situational awareness. Odds are high that someone is going to be calling your name. Not necessarily walking up to you to get your attention.
In lines, this is right out. You can't walk while using it. The explicitly are not supporting you moving through a large room, as I recall.
Makes sense. Maybe by v5 when the battery is internal and it is light enough it could unlock more use cases. I feel they have added several features for situational awareness with video pass through, but might need more.
I don't know how long it will take, all told. I think VR has come farther than a lot of folks realize. Certainly hoping that folks buy this and it establishes a market.
I'm just far less sold on two points from Apple. First is the productivity angle. Is akin to the iPod being productive. Yes, it can happen. By and large, though, it is a consumption device. Would love to see numbers exploring that.
Second stickler is the attempt at using all gestures. Even Beat Saber benefits greatly from the feedback on my handles when I hit blocks. Having frictionless gestures just feels unlikely to be as nice as they demo. Reminds me of "Jedi" demos where you swing a light sabre. Neat, until you realize you can't pantomime getting blocked that well. Heck, even blocking is tough if you don't know when the block landed.
I would like to propose an addition: “Business can’t charge the consumer’s card if the consumer has not been actively using the service for last 90 days. Active is defined as significant usage. Significant is defined as consumption equal-to or greater-than a median user in the same pricing tier.”
Bench is great. Probably best not to do it the same day as overhead.
My program is structured around the compound movements forming the Cartesian product of {horizontal, vertical, leg} × {push, pull}; bench press is a horizontal push in this arena. Overhead press would be a vertical push, and squat would be a leg push.
Please don't spread out incorrect fitness advice, as it can lead to injury.
Disclaimer: I'm not a fitness expert either, just train regularly. So, verify anything I (or anyone else) tells you.
They work different muscles.
OHP/MP mainly works the delt, while the BP targets vrious parts of the pecs (depending on incline). Also grip width can change the balance between triceps/pec activation during BP
OHP gains certainly do carry over to bench press though. You can treat bench press as a "heavy" day lift and then use overhead press as a lighter pressing variation (but still go heavy) because there's enough overlap that it'll help your bench but different enough to where going heavy on overhead doesn't impact your bench press recovery.
Example:
Monday: 5 sets 5 reps of bench press.
Wednesday: 3 sets 5 reps of overhead press.
Friday: 1 set 5 reps bench press (trying to get as many reps as you can with good form, and increase the weight for next week depending on how many reps you went past 5)
Another way I've seen it done is something like this A B style workout:
Week A:
Monday - bench
Wednesday - OHP
Friday - bench
Week B:
Monday - OHP
Wednesday - bench
Friday - OHP

My covid side project was attempting to find a solution in this space. I envisioned users publishing their bookmarks in related forums (not unlike subreddits). The differentiating factor was allowing forum owners to monetize (as opposed to the platform appropriating all revenue). After thing reopened I got busy readjusting, but I plan to revive the efforts starting Jan: https://discoflip.com
Reminds me a bit of Substack, I know it's a different space, but kinda gave me that moment of, huh, one spot to see all cool stuff, and have it updated regularly.
To me your younger life sounds a lot more fun. But that is me. I'm sure for some kids writing hours of code or doing hours of math or hours of reading was more fun. I was much like you and did more than just fine in life (in terms of material wealth). Like someone pointed out, ultimately everything is pointless. Just have fun in whatever you do.
I’m thankfully at a stage of my career where I’m not afraid to interrupt the meeting and ask questions. Earlier in my career the thought would terrify me. In hindsight if I were bold it would have actually helped half the room. I encourage you to do it. These days: Who is Robert? What does Communications dept do? What has changed since last review? What metrics did the strategy move? What is the outcome you want from this meeting? Next time can we do email?
What you think is the "quite part" is actually not. It is standard practice to announce the nature of the military attack, especially against a nuclear power. That is the reason why you see the exact weapons being sent to Ukraine. If you do these things unannounced, and later get caught, that is what gives Russia the carte blanche to retaliate.
