What kind of WFH are you able to do from a fitness-bike-mounted screen? At the very least you are missing important peripherals?
I find it really hard to operate a touchscreen with any dexterity whilst running on an elliptical. Sure the bike itself had really big buttons on the UI, but when I brought in my ipad to play some XCOM, one encounter (usually 10-15 minutes) would take nearly the entire hour I would ride due to butterfingering everything. I can't imagine trying to do anything productive on such a setup.

- disabled 6y agoI work part-time and I am also an electrical engineering graduate student. I often watch lectures while exercising, for example, and simultaneously take notes. I use two methods for coding/typing/notes: voice and specialized keyboard. I generally use a specialized braille keyboard, that I can sweat on, however I do wear gloves (see: https://www.atguys.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_54&products_id=317 https://www.atguys.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_inf...). I know multiple braille codes backwards and forwards, and I generally use a standard 8-key braille keyboard to type English language, computer code, and math. I have a print-related disability, that does not affect visual acuity, but does affect my ability to read (severe convergence insufficiency). So, when working and exercising, I use text to speech feedback when typing with braille code. For coding with voice I use Dragon Naturally Speaking and VoiceCode (https://www.voicecode.io/ https://www.voicecode.io/). For math and voice I use Mathfly (https://mathfly.org/ https://mathfly.org/).
