I am biased as I am the Imagineer of my title, but I get a lot of comments that it is a great place to just chill, even with a loved one or good friend. It is a VR Theme Park focused on highly detailed, story driven dark rides like the ones you find at Disney. The first ride is out and it sent me to the top of charts on the Meta Quest App Lab Store. Even if you do not have VR yet, that is fine as I am not done developing yet as I have years of work ahead of me, but if/when you do, come check it out. It really does feels like you are in a Theme Park on a nice sunny day, walking around the grounds, exploring the ride queues and of course boarding the dark rides…well one dark ride, but the second one is coming along nice,”The Haunted Castle” and I will be updating the store with a tease soon.
Ahahaha I know right. Marketing is just not my thing, but Imagineering is thankfully. Sounds like it is not your thing too as my posts usually appeal to the Disney fans…especially EPCOT which I did not even mention which is odd as that is one of the park’s Inspirations. See…I suck at this.
I use a cheap, lower end Fitbit. I like the cheap one because it's low profile, the screen is nice and small.
I do use it for time constantly but the other features are nice too. I can read, but not reply, to texts. I'm notified of an incoming call. I do use the step counter and hourly activity reminders to make sure I move enough at my sedentary job. The stopwatch feature is great for in-between sets at the gym. I like knowing my heart rate too when I'm working out.
I never really liked watches to begin with. I sweat a lot and it would always smell funky under my band. The last watch I had I got a machine washable nylon band to prevent this and had to wash it every other day.
Regular watch, my $60 watch has traveled to 5 continents with me over the past decade. Lightweight, has a dim illumination when needed, and ticks right even after some rugged adventures.
I honestly wouldn’t ask a smartwatch to handle what I’ve put my regular watch through.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t non-commercial use of trademarked stuff ok? I was under the impression that it only counts as copyright infringement if you somehow profit from it, which would not be the case in most communities here.
Letting the oil circulate for a bit, adjusting fan-settings, A/C, selecting music etc. If it’s wintertime I let the car warm up for a while while I scrape the windows.
I have an Apple Watch because of its ability to detect falls. Since I commute a lot by cycling if I were to get into an accident(hit and run, or I fall off my bike) and fall unconscious, the watch would be able to alert the police and get me the medical attention I need. As well as the watch could provide the ambulance worker a way to identify me because my information is on the watch in case I forgot my id card.
I don’t like either. I don’t use things for fashion, and the phone alone gives me all the function of either watches without it giving me sensory issues by being a bracelet on my wrist.
Both, but much more of my days are an Apple Watch SE2 than my DW5600.
I use it as a HUD - I want to know the exact time for work, current temps high/low, sunrise / sundown times, and a pop up for screening phone notifications helps me quite a bit with not checking my phone as much. I also appreciate wrist heart rate (for keeping anxiety in check,) compass is neat, and knowing the local dB is helpful for keeping my tinnitus from getting worse.
I never thought I’d like a smartwatch until I tried one.
My suggestion? Some old ThinkPad. I was using a T420s for several years for online college classes. I have since moved onto a T480s.
Just looked on eBay. A refurb T470 is around $140USD and a new battery on Am*zon (if you are okay with Jeff Bozo, I am not) is less than $30. So you have two batteries that you can swap out for decent time away from an outlet and a semi recent laptop with 8GB RAM and an SSD for low power consumption.
I can PM you links if you want.
Important edit: some ThinkPads don’t have webcams! I don’t know if your kid needs to video chat for school, I know my sister had to. Make sure whatever you order had a webcam – they aren’t always present!
We’re looking at NewEgg, which has some good deals. Someone else recommended them. We definitely need a webcam, although we could always get an external webcam
