Hmm I had an older one (TCL nxtwear s), and I wouldn’t be doing graphic art on it, but it more than sufficed for watching shows, playing games, and some light browsing.

If I was buying today I’d probably look at the xreal X1, they’ve made some great strides in the tech.

The cable can be snagged on things so it’s nice to buy a model where it connects with magnets. Unfortunately for longer haired folks, your hair can get snagged in this area.

The actual experience is pretty decent, albeit slightly disappointing if you’ve grown accustomed to VR - but that is the price you pay for a much smaller form factor. Of course you can’t have a fully immersive screen, it’s “just” a monitor in front of you (and a fairly big one) - again for me, disappointment as I’m used to a 49" uw. 😅 For the use case given by the linked article, it would 100% perform exceptionally well.

It was really nice being able to lie down in bed or on the sofa, and watch whatever you wanted from your phone. It worked with my Nintendo Switch in a nitro+ which made for better posture whilst in handheld mode. 3d mode worked too.

I sold it because I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would, and the one I had had could do with some more improvements. I’m sure newer models will probably make it a more compelling answer now.

Yeah I ran into these solutions but unfortunately I can’t seem to find any USB-CEC adapter other than the Pulse Eight, which doesn’t seem to ship to Australia in any economical manner.

I ended up getting a Flirc USB, couldn’t get the existing TV remote to work with that (once paired with the TV it stops sending IR signals, and the TV wouldn’t let me select the PC input as needing to activate the IR mode on the remote), ordered the Flirc Skip 1s… and now that’s working well enough we’re using the Skip1s as the primary remote for the TV as well. About 150AUD down the hole for this solution, and it’s not truly turning the PC off, but close enough!

We sold our PS and now have a gaming PC hooked up to the TV.

Been a few teething issues with convenience issues like being able to turn it on from the couch, but the experience has gotten pretty smooth now.

Back in the day, the Galaxy Note 4 had this monster of a battery made for it by Anker, and yes it came with a replacement door. It was a beast.

When you say sudafed, do you mean the real sudafed with pseudoephedrine, or is it sudafed PE with phenylepherine?

Make sure you get the real pseudoephedrine.

Yeah I vastly prefer AliExpress, there are items in a similar vein with the ‘pick three!’ type, but those are in the significant minority.

Quince and cheese on crackers is a common thing, so jam cheese and bread just seems normal to me too…

Some of the cables need to be longer to not have that effect where they’re being pulled against their own weight.

Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅

…still fucking steep.

The fit site release has a mod included for flat screen mode.

Call a podiatrist.

When someone says it’s quiet at work, suddenly all these emergencies come in…

There’s a reason guns were called the great equalizer.

Body glide blister balm, and laundry wash sheets (so much tidier than washing powder!).

Most of my other stuff seems standard to me…

Those gl-inet routers are really handy. Great if you have a bunch of wireless devices too, login to the hotel wifi with one device, spoof on the router that device’s MAC, then you have “one” device hooked up to the hotel wifi… And everything else connects to a pre setup wifi network and you don’t have to login on all of them.

On the other hand, obstructive sleep apnoea will eventually lead to heart attacks/strokes.

It can, yes. TMJ-D can be debilitating.

Yes. And the jaw joint has more deterioration too.
