I like the Sonos speaker. But the app is absolutely terrible and buggy. It takes quite literally a full minute to play a song initially and often times failed to load /play altogether. Oddly the app worked much better with my Apple Music subscription years ago and has been just getting progressively worse. Someone needs to provide a hack so I can just use Sonos like a regular dumb Bluetooth speaker tbh.

Just a matter of time before anyone can buy ad placements like Google Adsense and a walled app garden allows a customer to price match their car insurance when they type in “how do I get cheap car insurance?” into ChatGPT and openAI takes 30%. The future is here! I guess?

I was an early adopter with the original PlayStation VR. The screen door effect was an issue but the biggest one is that I couldn’t last more than 30 minutes before getting nauseous. Granted I get seasick and likely susceptible more than most but I really hope Apple have solved it for people like me. Either way Im pre-ordering as well.

Try this as I am the same YMMV: get an eye mask and do 4-10 mins of deep “belly” breathing (5s inhale through the nose, 10s exhale through the mouth, though I prefer exhale through the nose.

Looking forward to the update. I have the quick launch on my Apple Watch face complication… where I usually use it after I had initially fined-tuned the exercises in the app. My only bit of feedback is after a session on the watch it doesn’t always consistently show the before/after HR which then doesn’t consequently update other health metrics like HRV etc.. otherwise love the app and the watch app!

Huge fan of unwind! I have been using it for nearly a year.

Everyone is built different. 4 years ago my bloodwork came back with an extremely low level of Vit D (so low the dr. Said they’ve never seen it that low. I live in Canada and work in an office so not a big surprise. But the severity and frequency of flu/colds lead me to investigate further including doing a genetic test. Turns out I am genetically predisposed to low vit d absorption. With dr supervision I began megadosing 4-5000 IUs daily. As of my latest bloodwork which was 3 weeks ago my vit. D is still just below average. What I have noticed is that the severity and frequency of my cold/flu is much lower than what it was pre-dosing. I know this is not placebo because often in the past if I got the flu it would lead to pneumonia. Since dosing I have not had a single case of it. My 2 cents N=1.

I’m fortunate enough to have a an entire set from 1989 that my father bought for me and my older sister. I refuse to get rid of it. At the moment the set is in my old bedroom in my parents house but one day I intend to feature it prominently in my library.. it’s funny how one can get attached like that.

Netflix originally had a very healthy and diverse social ecosystem of reviewers. For some reason they decided to remove all comments and lengthy reviews for the thumbs up/down. Maybe it was because they didn’t want to hire mods but honestly it was a huge opportunity for Netflix to create a very sticky social media network that would be impossible to replicate and disrupt. Maybe because of hubris they thought that the studios would never catch up with the tech. I mean look at blackberry and Nokia - they never caught up to Apple but when you think of it as hardware vs software especially commodity cdn software after a decade it really comes down to either the content or social network effect. They missed on both.

IPhone 7 Plus user here. Have swapped the battery twice (the last time I did it myself). Still don’t feel the urge to buy the latest. I’m probably going to keep going with it until Apple stops supporting updates for it.

I’ve had a genetic test done, after being told that I have significantly lower than average vitamin d levels it turned out I’m genetically predisposed to low vitamin d and b12 absorption. So I have to supplement significantly more than what is normal.

After doing so, my colds have been far less severe then in the past. What made me go to such lengths testing myself was that I thought I was doing everything right and yet got pneumonia two years in a row.

So aside from testing your blood serum levels you should consider a genetic test to see how well you absorb vitamin d. You may benefit from above average dosage (consult your dr. Ymmv)

I had a genetic test done (not 23andme or other retail genetic tests) and it turns out I have genes that essentially cause me to have low absorption for vitamins d, b6 and b12 and vitamin e. According to my bloodwork I also had extremely low Vit d in the blood (way below average). I started megadosing and honestly I feel like a different person, when I got a cold before it would last for 7 days, and twice it led to bronchitis and then pneumonia this year since megadosing I’ve had two colds and both lasted no more than 2 days. So I’m not superman, I still get sick but the severity of the colds have been significantly lower than before megadosing.

I find it fascinating when there's still room for innovation in crowded seemingly done to death markets like running shoes. There's always a sub-niche to go after, in any sufficiently large market there will be power users that are totally willing to shell out $250 for a 4% improvement. Given that these shoes according to the article last for 200 miles that's a couple of marathons and couple months of training tops before having to be replaced. Reminds me of the Tinker Hatfield doc on the Abstract series on Netflix.
