I think yes. But I think it would be a really individual decision based on a few factors. I say at $150 and an easy return why not try since you have been on the fence?

They just show up as a DP over USB-C monitor, so they work natively in any OS or phone etc. I don't really think you would have any problem with them in a public setting.

The ones I linked have built in diopter adjustment, but if it's insufficient you can get clip in lens inserts.

They can certainly work for that, they are quite clear and sharp, but sometimes you can get a sample with a soft spot on the lens, in that case return and try again is my only suggestion. I bought only 1 of these from the eBay link I sent last year when they were slightly cheaper and got a perfect sample on the first try.

I actually used them like this when I was stuck in bed after a back surgery for a couple weeks, plugged into my laptop.

They do make a newer model now that is actually fairly stripped down in terms of functionality but is supposed to have the best clarity, the VITURE Pro 2 XR, and new they are only $300, and you can get a 10% off coupon for their site, so they are $270 new which isn't bad at all.

Many companies are making these glasses (Xreal, Viture RayNeo, Rokid, etc). They are all fundamentally the same thing. Same micro OLED panels and similar optical design. But they keep adding more features like better head tracking, better built in audio (I just use my AirPods Pro 2), built in cameras, more on-board processing for 3D stuff, that just makes the price go higher, so it's nice to see they still make a new pair with stripped down features for those of us who just want a basic display and for fairly cheap still.

I think you just need to try it to see for yourself if it works for your use case. The return policy is really good.

It's a misconception that the immune system builds future resistance from past infections?

Not sure, but I bet most mobile app developers are MacBook users haha.

I mean it's a $400 up-charge over the same model without touchscreen. Not that unreasonable if you are a heavy app developer IMO.

Their demo is also mobile app development using touchscreen for testing apps in the simulator.

I mean it seems like a good idea to me for mobile app development, being able to touchscreen the simulator.

Even when developing a mobile app and using the simulator, you never wished you could touchscreen the simulator?

I mean it's only $400 more than the LED non-touch screen.

Seems like it would be useful for app development being able to do touchscreen for the iOS and iPadOS simulators.

Since when have you not been able to easily find a free youtube video for this?

The 512GB option actually has a better chip with 1 more CPU core and twice the neural engine...

That seems high. 14 hours of my salary (pretax) goes to my rent.

If code doesn't do what it says, isn't that a compiler issue?
