  • The cable can be snagged on things so it’s nice to buy a model where it connects with magnets. Unfortunately for longer haired folks, your hair can get snagged in this area.

    The actual experience is pretty decent, albeit slightly disappointing if you’ve grown accustomed to VR - but that is the price you pay for a much smaller form factor. Of course you can’t have a fully immersive screen, it’s “just” a monitor in front of you (and a fairly big one) - again for me, disappointment as I’m used to a 49" uw. 😅 For the use case given by the linked article, it would 100% perform exceptionally well.

    It was really nice being able to lie down in bed or on the sofa, and watch whatever you wanted from your phone. It worked with my Nintendo Switch in a nitro+ which made for better posture whilst in handheld mode. 3d mode worked too.

    I sold it because I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would, and the one I had had could do with some more improvements. I’m sure newer models will probably make it a more compelling answer now.


  • So apparently this is 100% a thing with expensive camera lenses. Different markets will get different quality lenses despite the model being marked as the same.

    It’s also why I won’t buy clothing from US based outlets, as the brands have been known to explicitly manufacture lower quality product to sell at outlets. That said, the only time this actually comes up for me (being an Australian), is that I won’t buy big brand clothing at Costco.







  • Once female speaking time reaches 30% or more, males believe that the females are dominating the speaking time.

    Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

    Essentially the general male population don’t like females, and only tolerate them as a subservient subclass who should be seen and not heard.

    EDIT: This should probably annoy you a little too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2qCjL6-n4

    And it may also explain why people complain that there should only ever be one female character - it minimises the chances of males having to watch two females interact, because that would be excluding the male experience and they couldn’t possibly relate to two females interacting.

    EDIT2: comments in that video do claim there are more scenes… whether or not that really adds much is up to you.
