Spreadsheet "breaks" Apple Vision Pro eye-tracking

> to the beach

I think it's pretty clear that "the beach" here means your hotel room/airbnb. You wouldn't usually travel with your monitors, so you'd be stuck with your 14" screen. That's the use case this is addressing.

Yes but also yes. Depends on who you are and what you want to do. I've personally been using mine at home and it's been a genuine useful addition to my work from bed and work from couch routine, where I'd otherwise just be on a laptop. That would definitely apply to travel, as well.

But also, I think it probably would work well for hammock beach working in Ibiza. The biggest issue seems like it would be tan lines, getting bullied for being a giant Nerd, and your spouse/wallet killing you for buying a $3-4k headset and an Ibiza vacation.

Does it? In my mother tongue "to the beach" means the place with sand and water, not the accommodation.

That's not the place to bring your Apple Vision Pro.

It’s the same beach as in the sentence “We stayed on the beach in Miami”. When someone says that phrase in English they mean staying in an accommodation that is located or fronted by a beach. Not that they were camping sleeping on sand dunes in a sleeping bag

Native Australian English speaker here: I would 100% interpret that as they camped on the beach because that’s an option at some places here. Goes to show how it’s cultural I guess.

Wow, yeah.

But if you imagine it said in a fancy accent by someone holding a stack of bills totaling $4000USD does it change the meaning? “On the beach” has to be in very posh accent.

I was downvoted so to clarify: portable usb-c monitors that have a foldable stand that doubles as a screen cover. Thin, cheap and easy to take along with your laptop.
