You know how
That’s very funny
That as well.

#322Can I read a book with it, too? Or just enjoy the boredom without much digital interaction?
you can use the iPad kindle app and it works great.

You assume that most train rides offer a good view, and a view that the commuter would find novel. If I’m taking a commuter train every day , my view is not something great. Most of the time it’s rundown houses, tunnels or fences. This has been my experience in the UK, US and Canada. If I’m taking a more long distance train, you assume I’m sat on the side with a view. Ever taken a mountain train? One side just gets r…
Still, are those temporary inconveniences so dull that you can't read a book or something? Why cling to a desperate need for hyper stimulation when you could just relax with a newspaper or book. Oh jeez, it's misty out, and I forgot my ridiculous VR goggles, guess I'll just be sad :(
Because other people might enjoy things other than books or newspapers?
Seriously, is everyone on here so narcissistic that they can’t imagine other people want other things?

#324For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone). Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. Th…
Still works with a USB-C computer, or tablet, or Xreal's own Beam Pro. I'm sticking with my 13 Mini as a phone but still happy to travel with Xreal Air glasses.

Can you use them with a steam deck? That would be a pretty cool use case!

Are CO2 levels a useful way to measure filtration? Are we expecting almost all the clean air to be from outside, minimal amounts from recirculation?
Apologies, I specified "filtration" but meant "quality", which I would define as filtration + fresh air intake. I'd have expected a better mix (more fresh air) since even with filtration removing many particulates and viruses, high CO2 levels still cause worse cognitive performance.
It's hard to get lots of fresh air into a pressurized plane, so I'm willing to have a good bit of leeway on that front. And airflow patterns are important; a lot of fresh air running from front to back would likely do more harm than good.

Even in the US, most people (50+% of the population) certainly doesn't regularly (say, more than once a decade) travel by plane.
49% in the last year according to this https://www.airlines.org/dataset/air-travelers-in-america-an... Statista survey pre-pandemic says majority fly every year https://www.statista.com/statistics/316365/air-travel-freque... Americans fly quite often.
Oh wow, I didn't imagine it's this many people. I stand corrected, thank you for looking up the numbers.

So what I get out of this is that while they were nice and friendly and had a good chat, they also tuned each other out for basically the entire flight. Sounds like an example in favor of dagmx's argument, which is not to be unfriendly, but that friendliness is rarely a way to pass multiple hours in a plane.
They didn’t “tune each other out” nor did they tune out the world entirely. Any of them could have resumed the conversation if they wanted to. Heck, I could have easily started up a conversation with them if I felt like it. That’s not tuning out, it’s simply not interacting. Have you never sat in someone’s company, be it a pet or another person, each doing your own thing yet the presence of another made it more pleas…
And with a headset on, they could have still resumed the conversation.
Or is it also rude if one tries to sleep? Or if they decided to listen to music or watch a movie on the screens?
Really the fact is that all those things are normalized and this isn’t. The arguments against it would equally apply to all of the rest of the things people do on planes to occupy their time.
Re: Traveling with Apple Vision Pro
#329Agree with author that the plane seems to be the only place where it is socially acceptable to wear the skimask. My wife still makes fun of me when I'm working at home with Vision Pro - I wouldn't wear it out in public. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41836437

Can you elaborate on the working part? I tested the device in an Apple Store and was blown away by the experience. Such an amazing tool to explore, enjoy and relax. The work part though? I had the same feeling as with the iPad early on. I need a keyboard and a mouse to be productive.
> The work part though? I had the same feeling as with the iPad early on. I need a keyboard and a mouse to be productive. Both my iPad Pro and my Vision Pro have a keyboard and trackpad: - The iPad Pro of course uses the excellent Magic Keyboard. - The Vision Pro uses an Apple keyboard w/o numpad side by side with the Magic Trackpad, in a custom tray to hold both. (Make sure that your carryon's front pocket can hold…
I had no idea that’s what Spatial Audio meant. I thought naively that it was just another marketing jargon for surround sound.
Now I wish I had gone for the bose QC ultra buds instead of the QC II buds.
