  • From the article:

    Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

    So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

    I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you’re wearing it. You can’t see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can’t find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill


  • On the contrary, I’ve had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it’s plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.

    I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.






  • How did you take away “they were asking about Mastodon” when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.

    You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer… It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That’s my point.

    And if you’re really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,

    Dude, grow up.

    edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could’ve prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.












  • Get yourself a countertop carbonator like a Sodastream or Drinkmate.

    I have a Drinkmate, and they have a CO2 cylinder exchange program where you can get a heavy discount on more cylinders by returning the empty ones beforehand (prepaid shipping label included with cylinder packs.)

    Other than the initial cost of the machine and any additional cylinders you want (I have a total of five, so I can install the last one and ship back four empties for a coupon, but that’s probably a little overkill for one person), the ongoing cost is reasonable. I make 1-2L of soda water pretty much every day and I get a little over a month out of each cylinder. Works out to less than $15 a month for me.
