Does such a thing exist that works for coding? Don't need the AR. My posture/back could use this for when I'm not working at my desk.

I've been looking for this as well but have never heard anyone that found glasses good enough for coding.

I'm using a Quest3 for coding when I'm travelling with the Immersed app. It is a bit of a setup, but it allows using a USB-C cable for the connection. It also can open multiple virtual screens. I usually have 4 screens open. The resolution is not as good as the VisionPro but having 4 screens in a slightly lower resolution allows me to be able to read everything quite well.

For 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…

With a Samsung phone you can even get a whole desktop to work on. With bluetooth mouse and keyboard you can be really productive

Taking a flight as an opportunity to indulge in a moment of blissful idleness is great... on a three-hour flight. But on a 14-hour trans-continental flight, you've gotta have something to do. If nothing else, to distract you from how uncomfortable it is to be effectively confined to your seat + a few feet of narrow walkway for that long. That's more confined than a prison cell!

Nah. I do Europe-Korea frequently, and I've definitely slowly settled into a happy optimum of sleeping 7-8 hours inbetween the meals. Killing time is a rather slower flight experience than being unconscious. I'm very happy WiFi continues to be an expensive opt-in product. If it was always-on, I'm sure I'd break the above habit.

With my CPAP need that's not going to work :(

As I get older, a gin and tonic (or two) is what makes air travel more relaxing.

go for a bloody Mary. the extra beta carotenoids are good for the skin under increased uv in high altitude. or so i tell myself.

veritasium made a video about airplanes and he specifically talks about tomato juice in planes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDYfvPW4mA&t=908s

>The more time passes, the less I can shake the feeling that the world would be better if we tuned out of our environment less. Depends on what environment that is. I mean, is there some value in hearing an ambulance siren at full volume while I'm walking down the street? Or the sound of people trying to get my attention to hand me some flyer? Or the sound of the BART?

Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to tune out the wretched poor people. Maybe a future headset will include a forcefield to actively repel potential muggers or oncoming vehicles.

This is an astoundingly uncharitable attempt to make my otherwise personal assertion classist. Am I to meet my overstimulating environment head on, further exasperating my anxiety and mental exhaustion simply to please others who think my condition is actually a signal of wealth? I am not able to do so, and I am not apologetic about it.

> a moment of blissful idleness Popularly known as “raw dogging” or “barebacking” a flight, apparently. https://www.gq.com/story/why-men-are-rawdogging-flights

I don't think that's what it means. Raw dogging a flight means staying awake while doing nothing.

I suppose most people that want to "raw dog" a flight will fall asleep eventually, so I guess there's that. But I think getting buzzed and just slipping into a bad nap for like 12 hours is a bit different, at least to my mind.
