Sometimes you just need to send some dogs into that meeting and shoot the first plan that comes flying out.

"You can't have your cake and eat it" The older form was flipped: "you can't eat your cake and have it" They both can mean about the same, but the older form makes it much clearer - if you've eaten your cake, you no longer have it. But you could have your cake, then eat it.

I have a Viture One and an Xreal Air 2. They're both solid for gaming as a screen directly attached to your face. Neither do floating or body-anchored screens out of the box. The Xreal can do it with a breakout box, and the new generation of the Xreal that's coming out in March is supposed to do it on its own.

Viture One came with a better carrying case and is easier to hook up in the dark. It's slightly more comfortable to wear, and it has built-in focusing dials. Picture quality is good for gaming and watching videos, but not good enough for extended text reading - books and websites aren't recommended.

The Xreal Air 2 has a much better screen, good enough for reading for an hour or so. The edges get some chromatic aberration, but most of the screen is good. It requires prescription inserts if you need glasses - a mixed blessing since it adds a hidden $80 to the price, but means you can wear them as real glasses. The nose bridge has size options, but none are quite as comfortable as the Viture. The Xreal uses standard USB-C cables, which is good for compatibility, but bad for attaching in the dark. As mentioned above, Xreal has a breakout box that gives different options for how the screen is displayed - attached to your head, attached with a delay (better for motion sickness), PiP so you can look at the real world with your media in the corner of your vision, and attached to your body giving the illusion of a TV screen sitting a distance from you.

It depends on what you're looking to do with the screen, but I'd probably wait until the new generation of Xreals.

The AI summary is not great here. Three tanks in the Palisades were at higher elevation than the rest. The whole system was tapped at 4x normal demand for 15 hours. This dropped water pressure across the whole system, which meant that there wasn't enough pressure to fill those high-elevation tanks.

I too have friends that could use some sense.

Grok is Twitter's LLM

Mine's around somewhere, too. I didn't do a lot of gaming on it, but it was a very solid media streaming box for the time.

I enjoyed my Ouya back in the day.

Postman was great! The book is worth a read, too.

I picked up a construction-grade tablet PC back in 2010, and while I haven't been todler-tough on it, it's still running great and the peace of mind of it being so rugged has been great.
