One early part of your post is about being productive.
Much of the rest is about creating nostalgia and reliving a past trip through these.
Is there a paradox, or contradiction, in these themes?
- polo 2y agoInteresting question. I don't think so. More just different facets of the device. I expected good productivity, and I expected to enjoy consuming content in the AVP. The changes in how I capture memories I didn't expect but make sense to me retrospectively. For example, the first time you experience one of your panoramas in the AVP is the time your jaw drops and you tell yourself you really need to take more of these! :-)
- steve1977 2y agoI had exactly the same thought. And this is not meant as an attack or anything on OP. But after reading OP's comment, the question in my mind was indeed "ok, but how exactly does it make you more productive?"
- polo 2y agoLarge 4k virtual screen is what makes me more productive vs my laptop screen. I'll often have charts, etc. on a massive Safari "window" next to the virtual Mac screen, which is useful too. Plus, side benefit for me who doesn't always have great posture, it helps me avoid being hunched over my laptop, I can place the screen nice and high in front of me.

- miek 2y agoThis is one reason HN is such a nice place to be. Thank you. (Im not being sarcastic here)
- throwaway211 2y agoI'm not high. What are you implying?
