What do you want instead?
- orangepanda 3y agoI want a mini game as I chop cucumbers. And a wall of my achievements that’s shared with anyone in proximity.
- soraminazuki 3y agoDistracting people with mini games while they're holding a knife sounds like a bad idea.
- sunshinerag 3y agoEU is coming up with a consent popup to fix this situation. It will flash a hazard warning and will turn on haptic feedback till you drop the knife.
- hn_acker 3y agoNitpick: The EU didn't mandate intrusive consent popups. That was malicious compliance and/or laziness by advertisers, GDPR "tool" developers, and website owners. Website developers could've put an "opt in to tracking" option in a separate settings page that users would click on a gear icon in the top right corner to access.
- hightrix 3y agoWhy does it have to be a "distracting" experience? What if the game was showing you where to cut to get uniform slices and grading the uniformity of your cuts? Then you'd be focused on the activitiy at hand while still enjoying that sweet sweet gamified dopamine hit.
- xattt 3y agoI prefer the count-the-rice-grains-in-a-sushi-roll genre instead.
- quectophoton 3y agoI can't wait for the day games like "PowerWash Simulator" or "Supermarket Simulator" come to VR. Imagine, you could wash stuff or work at a supermarket, while also exercising your body! (/s, but I'm sure it will happen at some point.)
- anthomtb 3y agoPeople should really use a mandoline rather than a knife while playing mini games. You'll slice both your cukes and fingers much more evenly.
- mrcwinn 3y agoIf I were within your proximity, I can assure you I have no interest in your minigame progress while you chopped cucumbers. I would however hope that you had avoided physical injury.
- ryandrake 3y agoI think it was juicy sarcasm. I laughed!
- asoneth 3y agoApologies for explaining the joke, but pretty sure the cucumber chopping and wall of achievements is a reference to https://vimeo.com/46304267 https://vimeo.com/46304267
- vik0 3y agoOh wow, it's been a while since I've seen a vimeo link. Can't believe it's still a thing
- EasyMark 3y agoThis sounds like a great way to chop off fingertips. Take it from someone who has done "just the tip" once, a sharp knife will do it with almost no effort, just like slicing through a tomato
- dewey 3y agoPersonally for me: A real smart assistant that knows all the context, calendar invites, messages, photos from using Apple products for many years. Alternatively: Siri that can reliably turn lights on and off again.
- bombcar 3y agoAt this point I'd be satisfied with a Siri is that just a literal link to a command line. It's horribly useless as it is now, 80% or less accuracy on basic things.

- pulvinar 3y agoI want that too, but it'll have to be a lot more secure, as now it would be trivial to record me saying Hey Siri and play that back.
- agys 3y agoGames! This device begs for high end VR games!
- croes 3y agoWithout controllers?
- mrguyorama 3y agoWith a 2 hour battery life?
- throwaway5959 3y agoCan it not be plugged in and operated with a very long cable? That’s what I do with my Quest 3.
- hwbunny 3y agoAfter social media depleted the dopamine receptors, now time to give in the final punch :D.
- twodave 3y agoI want to force kitchen staff to wear this and have it remind them to change gloves based on what they’ve touched either being a potential allergen or contaminant. Makes me cringe when I see people who work with food also working the register, for instance. Too easy to get lazy and not change the gloves.
- fooker 3y agoSounds dystopian. Would you want to be forced to wear a heavy headset that nagged you to comment your code and write unit tests?
- viscanti 3y agoIf it means that I get to work with well commented and tested code, that might be worth it.
- fooker 3y agoIt's an interesting philosophical dilemma. What else would you be willing to force on everyone to improve (in your opinion) your circumstances? We clearly do this a bit (taxes, vaccines, etc), but finding the threshold is very tricky, and can lead to pretty authoritarian environments.
- hhshhhhjjjd 3y agoWell, as someone living in the United States, I live with the saddening understanding that our military spending indicates that we're willing to immiserate large swaths of the world's population for increasingly diminishing returns. It's authoritarian enough that I have no choice but to support our military decisions through the taxes I pay.
- fooker 3y agoIt's colonialism without the responsibility of administering large populations. I don't know if there's a solution though, there are other sharks vying to do far worse.
