  • If you haven’t read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.

    Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:

    • gaming
    • multimedia presentations
    • stream to other headsets
    • have ANY sharable user positioning data (local or GPS)
    • collaboration with other headset owners
    • wireless anything (it’s got a heavy ass battery pack)
    • literally has NONE of the apps that it had depicted it had in some presentations at initial dev announcement (Netflix, YouTube…etc), though they are usable in browser

    Anyway, you get the idea. There’s more, but why bother.














  • These trained bamboo plants are tricky, because they require that you continually train them to a post when growth is going to keep that shape. When allowed to grow normally, of course they grow straight, and fast. You can trim that top growth off without harming the overall plant (use the 1/3 rule, of course), but you’ll likely get multiple offshoots where you do the cutting because the trunk of bamboo is fibrous, and will regenerate new leaves from cuts, that will eventually turn into shoots over time. You might even get some new shoots from the soil line after spurring new growth after cutting, which is a positive or negative depending on how you see it.

    If you wish to keep it small, just set a reminder to trim it every so often and keep the new growth to where you’d like it. Treat it like a Bonsai.




  • He says he has Ubuntu installed and is loving it, and just asking if there’s any other things to round out a tablet experience.

    You: ☝️ “why don’t you completely change the thing that is working for you, and even though you didn’t ask, do what I’m suggesting you do because I like it, and it works for my mommy who just uses the web browser. Also, if anyone disagrees with me for evangelizing and giving unsolicited advice, I’m going to call them a prick and argue with them because I’m just special” ☝️ 😤
