Re:Meta VR Glasses on Thursday September 24, 2026 @02:48PM (#49835161)
Zenbook Duo is not an option for me unfortunately (company provides the laptop). A nice large monitor not an option neither (well, if it was up to me, I would get 2 nice 4k monitors, but wife was very clear she did not want a bulky monitor and me occupying a good chunk of the dinner table lol). But I am pretty sure she will be fine with a portable monitor, I didn't know these were a thing, and they fit my use case perfectly! Thanks a lot!

Thanks, i will check it out. I think I did a couple years ago but mac os support was bad at the time? I don't quite remember, but this seems great now. Do you have one? Any experience with using it for work on mac os with multiple virtual screens?

I might consider them if I can wire it to my laptop. I use the meta quest for development because of infinite virtual screens and due to my apartment being so small I can't fit a proper desk and office chair. But still is a very niche usage, if I had space I would very likely get a desk with a dual or triple monitor setup. If the resolution is good, it is actually nice to have a very portable infinite screen setup if you travel a lot.

I think I can say I got some 10x speedup with the recent, more powerful models (from Opus 4.5 on). But then again, I am just building CRUD websites, although sometimes there are some challenging tasks like some fancy graphs/plots to show, and some API integration in the backend, etc... but these are the use cases that models are really good at. I have 0 worries about scaling: my apps are internal, so you can think of 10-15 concurrent users at most, usually 5 or less, and 100 or so users in total, which eliminates the whole class of complicated scaling problems. 99% of the devs are probably on the same boat: our day-to-day problems are not complicated, dont need any deep algorithm or data structures knowledge, and models speed up this type of work a lot. Of course, they get very limited on complicated problems
