Well, downloading movies is a frequent use case for me since a travel a decent amount. That said, movies don’t take a lot of space in the grand scheme of things. Now recording spatial video would be a different matter altogether but I find myself using the Vision Pro to record video very...

I've been playing the campaign and am having a great time. This is very much Homeworld through and through. I did notice that the game is far too easy on Normal difficulty; I got a third of the way through the game realizing I don't actually need to pay attention to ship types, unit strengths...

I ordered a 13” Pro. Two motivations, - my wife’s 12.9 gen1 is getting longer in tooth and she’ll love the new pencil - I am super curious to try an OLED that does full screen 1000 nits - not sure I’m aware of any OLED that matches that capability! So, I’m curious.

Thank you. I see that the CyberPower PFC units I’ve been using have a typical switchover time advertised as 4ms versus 20ms of the Anker. I do like the idea of running a very low energy (but high power) UPS in series with one of these units solely to buffer the switchover interval. I can see...

Interesting, I have tested the C800 a few times with my PC on, along with lights and other devices, with no evidence of issue, and various reviews indicated as such, but perhaps the spec is borderline and therefore not advised.

For over a decade now, I've been using UPS units (think CyberPower PFC units) behind computers and other important home electronics. These have large, heavy and relatively low capacity lead acid batteries that usually I can get 4-5 years out of and provide a pretty decent sine wave reproduction...

Gotta admit, after Topping, I don’t feel any further need to invest in DAC or Amp gear. They effortlessly make my Utopias, HD820s etc. sing.

I found a new and effective use case. Recently I was at a family wedding - I used an iPhone to record a bunch of spatial video for my parents to watch since they are too old to travel. I finally flew to see them, and since they’ve both recently had cataracts surgery which largely corrected...

I agree, and when it comes to the subject of tech, tend to subscribe to the philosophy that friends don’t let friends listen to DukenukemX. Some people aren’t qualified to and won’t be able to critically evaluate new tech. That’s fine, in my opinion. Someone’s got to be “that dude” with the flip...

I’ve been using mine daily for a while now. My primary use case has been as the ultimate portable media consumption device while doing chores. When I get home from work, usually an hour and change before my wife due to slightly different schedules, I put on the Vision Pro, start watching some...

Ditto all around. TR workstation for home stuff and games, M3 Max 16” for work and carry-around, and a bunch of virtualized Linux containers for various server apps. iPhones and iPads but also various Android devices. A complicated mix of HomeKit, Alexa and Google stuff. Subscription to GPT...

Nobody is stopping you.

This is definitely not true. I think people have forgotten iPhone with its pokey performance and 2g radio. Was it an amazing peek into the future and sign of things to come? Yes. Was it ideal out of the box? Not a chance. It was two generations later with the 3GS, with a faster modem and...

Agreed. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I do see that glare as well, and I can’t help but wonder how much better this would be with say another 15 degrees of FOV. That said, the pipeline and software is the killer differentiator here, like multitouch on the first iPhone, and like the iPhone...

I noticed SAP and other clients in the App Store.
