https://shokz.com/products/opencomm2 I am on conf calls and video chats for several hours per day. These are a product I would pay for until I die.
I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2 and I would say I get the same benefits plus more. They do cost more than this product though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Keeping door and windows open while it's very cold or very hot outside can lead to extremely high heating/air conditioning bills. Meanwhile, high quality energy recovery ventilators that can exchange air with the outside without ruining your insulation tend to be a lot more than $200.
cracking everything wide open for 5 minutes doesn't have too bad of an effect on temperature in my experience, and gives you good air for a few hours.
Aster ( https://www.ibik.ru/ ) Surprisingly functional multiseat for windows. Lifetime license 50-100 for 2 seats depending on region. Partner's computer went kaput, and used this + steamlink to turn monitor into another computer. I see people online using this to play two seperate games on different "seats". Was planning to get seperate media centre PC, but this worked so well I ended up using money to upgrade PC co…
Wow, I remember using this back when I was a poor high school student trying to share my GPU with my younger brother. I don't think I was able to get it working reliably though. Multiseat in general is just super niche. I wish it took off more and maybe it would have turned into an officially supported solution.
That's what I thought, but I think compute/cores + gpu power + wireless networking these days makes solid case for multiseat. Instead of buying another media center computer, I have a faster main computer with better CPU + GPU, better home wireless networking to beam that capability anywhere in the house. Previously I already remote desktopped into my main computer via different screens around the house, but now my partner can do it while I'm using said computer as well. The extra money in main computer = I'm gaming at 1440p vs 1080p or rendering with 20+ threads instead of 12, while partner do their low impact media/browsing for less cost. At the point, instead of partner upgrading their PC, it's starting to look sensible to split into 3 seats, 1 for me, 1 for media centre, 1 extra for partner. Perhaps spend a few 100 on dedicated GPU for new seat instead of 1000+ on seperate system.

"The main focus is Vipassana, where you’re taught to cultivate a quality of mind called “mindfulness,” which is simply a state of clear, non-judgemental, and undistracted attention, moment by moment, to the contents of consciousness."
A sous vide machine. It's just a fancy stick that circulates water at a precise temperature, but it makes the most delicious and tender chicken and fish that you'll ever make at home. You can start it in the morning and leave it going while you're out. Then dump the contents into a frying pan for a minute or two to sear the outside, and lunch/dinner is ready. You do need a vacuum sealer, but the total investment is l…
how do you deal with seeping your proteins in plastic next to hot water?
Then I bought JBL Go 3 and it's a different experience. The speaker is compact, lightweight and has a nice design. Sound quality / loudness is fully sufficient for voice and does a great job for its size for music as well. It's waterproof, now I listen even while showering. The only downside is lack of battery level indicator.
BTW, Audible subscription is a surprisingly good deal. You can have basically any book for $10 (even those which cost $30 on Kindle).

Good idea. If only there was a good solution for glasses wearers...
