If the lenses are good, it's enough. Just have to up the font size a bit and give up some information density compared to, say, a 16-17 inch laptop. The Quest 3 is already close to good enough to spend decent chunks of time in reading

This is why I wish chat UI's had separate categories of chats (like a few generic system prompts) that let you do more back-and-forth style discussions, or more "answers only" without adding any extra noise, or even an "

At this point, the controller is the most exciting thing for me. Steam machine is cool, but with how good handheld PCs already are, I'd be ok spending a bit more and just using those instead and docking it for TV gaming.

The entire reason tiktok got so popular is the younger generation (born in the mid 90s to early 2000s) normalizing sharing so much of their lives publicly. It's given rise to a much richer form of social media and "personal brand&

You're free to think whatever you want about your own tastes, but do you actually think Google/Apple's tastes are that special? There's so many talented devs/designers that have proven their ability to improve on th

Compared to the most popular alternative (mac mini / mac studio), it's still way more inline with the framework mission. You can still buy the motherboard version and use your own case and PSU. That's better than not just the

With diving board trackpads, I usually just tap to click. Physically pressing down a diving board is just asking for frustration. Sometimes I miss the separate left, right, and middle click buttons under the trackpad like the old days.

Give me some examples of people doing this without friends/family giving them loans, or the founders spending thousands of their own money. Not arguing, just want to see how it's done so I have examples for myself.

$700 buys a full PC I can use to code, browse the web, and run millions of desktop apps. It comes with a screen too. This thing has no business being $700.

That's not a great analogy. Soundtracks are often in the top ~5 most important parts of making a game special. A laugh track doesn't really change the narrative or the experience that much, except on comedies which are only barely

Based on that, Lemmy seems to be the most reasonable alternative. Can't believe collapsible comments is so rare, that's the main thing (aside from voting) making gigantic comment chains readable.

Agreed, wish that more software made use of local databases and storing more data client-side. Yes it takes more space, but phones can affordably be configured with 256GB and laptops with multiple TB of high speed storage nowadays.

I agree with most of what you said. But the way "low" cost (not "lower" cost, which is the wording I'd use) is used to describe a $430 phone with these specs is a little disingenuous to me. Maybe it's not that
