Why is working on a laptop not recommended in SF?
- fhub 3y agoThe start stop traffic gave me car sickness quickly. The 280 is a 4 lane highway that, at certain times of day, adaptive cruise control gets very little workout.
- viraptor 3y agoMay be actually getting better over time. A lot of the screen-related car sickness goes away with the refresh rate bumped up to 120Hz. These are slowly arriving to not-completely-gaming laptops fortunately.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoThat's interesting. I wonder if that's the same phenomenon that causes VR sickness with low refresh rates
- ramblerman 3y agoCar sickness happens when reading a book as well. It's your inner ear being out of sync with what you are witnessing. Which is why looking out the front window helps.

- chikitabanana 3y agoprobably a transplant. For those interested: _Generally_, Bay Area natives will refer to highways as "280", "101", maybe even "Highway X". SoCal natives (and many others) will, _generally_ say: "the 101", "the 280", etc.
- CalRobert 3y agoI was genuinely curious, haven't lived in the bay since 2011 and it seemed like it could be shifting. When I lived in the central coast it was a clear shibboleth when meeting people.
