Readit News> The Vision Pro is literally mind blowing.
For a day or two then the newness wears off quickly. It's an iPad you can strap to your face. If I thought the iPad was a real platform then I might be more interested but unless they make the Mac display thing much better and/or open up the Vision Pro to be a real computing platform then it's just a very expensive iPad and in most cases I'd honestly pick the iPad over it.
I _really_ wanted to love mine but it got boring very quickly. It's only good as a content consumption device that has numerous downsides to just watching my TV. My TV is big enough, I couldn't make a much bigger screen in the Vision Pro without having to move my head (defeating the purpose) to see everything.
It's cool, it was the sharpest text I'd ever seen in VR (I've also tried the Quest 2 and 3) but the Mac display was fuzzy and huge disappointment. I thought I could justify the cost if I could replace my monitors with it but it sucked as a monitor replacement and I never anticipated how much would be lost in a video chat. It looked like I had botox injections and my face was much less expressive. When you work remote you want every communication advantage that you can get, this added a significant degradation to all video chats.
I could go on but I already have in a number of blog posts so I'll stop here. It might blow your mind in a demo but day-to-day use? Yeah, most people barely use theirs anymore and I returned mine. I'm sure there are a number of die-hard fans but it's a tiny number of people (hell, there were only a tiny number of Vision Pro headsets sold and if 50% are still in daily use or even weekly use I'd be shocked).

I disagree. It’s inventing new multi modality such as the pinch to select and the in-the-air drag and drop. This brings us a bit closer to Minority Report Tom Cruise magic.

We had fraudsters using modal.com compute to solve this challenge. It's not traditional mining software so it didn't initially get flagged, but we've updated our detection to catch it now[1].
Just here to say I think modal is really cool. Keep up the good work!

The budget option is just to go to settings and select "digital wellbeing and parental controls".
You can set timers to block your apps after X amount of time.
I've found it useful to block chrome on my phone after 30 minutes of activity.
You can of course 'hack' this setup by just switching off the setting or rewarding yourself another 10 minutes etc. but then you can do this with anything...
My understanding is that you cannot with this device

I did something similar on my Iphone using custom Focus modes and shortcuts for automation. It allows you to block different apps and notifications from them, even change your lock and home screen layouts and background. You could also trigger shortcuts by an airtag but I don't have one. So sounds like a very similar product here?
Unblocking in your case it’s really easy and I would do it all the time. In this product, if I understand correctly, you leave the brick at home and can only be distracted outside of work hours (for instance)
Could you send us feedback from your project? (Go to the ... menu, then Send Feedback.) If you're not able to use the UI from within your project you can long-press on it from the main screen and choose Recovery Mode, and then enter the project with the interpreter disabled.
Since I don’t have that app on my phone I’m met with an error message and cannot know what address of yours I need to use to send a feedback.
Btw my feedback is that I tried to create an app which needs camera access. The prompt and code creation worked. However the app does nothing since I believe the permission for camera access are not handled on bitrig
