I’ve been thinking about getting a glasses-free 3D monitor for my PS5 Pro, mainly for gaming and occasionally watching videos. But after looking into it, I’m still pretty on the fence.

If glasses free 3D can actually make the buildings, characters, and environments in games feel noticeably more 3D and spatial, I can see it being a lot more interesting than a regular 4K monitor. The thing is, these 3D monitors aren’t exactly cheap. For around the same price, I could get a really solid 4k display instead.

I’ve also seen that not every glasses free 3D monitor works equally well with the PS5 pro. Some seem to rely more on a PC, specific software, or game support. If the PS5 pro basically ends up outputting a normal 2D image, spending that much on a 3D monitor would feel like kind of a waste.

So I'm curious if anyone here has used a PS5 Pro + glasses-free 3d monitor for gaming. How noticeable was the 3d effect in real use? Did you run into issues like a blurry image, lower resolution, reduced FPS, or compatibility problems?

I’m a snowboard coach, and I like recording parts of my lessons so my students and I can review them afterward.

The problem is that I can never seem to capture both sides of the lesson. If I point the camera at myself, I can review my demos, but I miss most of what the student is doing. If I point it at them, they get useful footage, but I have nothing to review from my own teaching.

I also find myself checking the camera angle before we start or worrying about it while we’re riding. It can be pretty distracting when I’m supposed to be watching the student and paying attention to everyone else on the slope.

How do other instructors handle this? Is there a setup that lets you capture both yourself and the student without constantly thinking about the camera?

Segway G3 Plus PDP finally dropped, so we've got real numbers now.

Alright, the specs are finally live, so let's see what actually got upgraded:

Power's bumped up to 2200W max, up from 2000W on the regular G3
Range is now rated up to 56 miles, vs 50 on the G3
Top speed is still capped at 28 mph, same as before
Full hydraulic suspension front and rear, disc brakes on both ends

So basically... a bit more power and a little extra range, but same top speed.

Preorder's sitting at $1149, but it looks like it stacks with a $150 discount, which brings it down to $999. Honestly at that price it seems fair.

Curious what you all think like anyone planning to jump on the upgrade, or is it too small a bump to bother?

I have been doing pool cleaning the old fashioned way for years and finally started looking into a robot cleaner. I kept putting it off bec I was not sure if it would actually save me much time or just becom another piece of equipment to maintain. After looking around, I went with an aiper pool cleaner and have been glad I did so far. Still figuring out some of the features but overall it has veen worth the switch.

For those of you who already made the switch, what finally pushed you to do it? Was it just getting tired of manual cleaning, the price, or something specific that sold you on it?

It's almost August again and I caught myself doing the match today, has it really been a year?

This time last Summer my friend and I were somewhere between states with the windows down, checking weather apps because we had no idea where we'd sleep next.

We were both international students finishing up and that summer was the last one where we'd all still be around. So we took his car and just went. Ten days through Wisconsin and Michigan, no real plan beyond names on a map. Milwaukee, Door County, UP, Pictured Rocks, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, loop back.

Door County was easy, quiet roads, cherry stands, water calm enough to trick you. Then we hit the UP and everything got empty fast. Gas stations way too far apart, cell service dead for stretches, towns that were literally a stop sign and a diner. Glad I'd downloaded offline maps before the signal fully died.

Pictured Rocks was supposed to be the main event and yeah, cliffs are unreal up close. But honestly the best parts weren't on the itinerary at all. A random beach we pulled off for. An overlook we only found because we took a wrong turn and kept going anyway. Nobody else there, just us and the lake.

Most nights it was whatever was cheaper or closer, motel or campground, tailgate dinners, half managing logistics in the background. I had redteago esim on my phone and wed hotspot off it when he needed his laptop for the next stop. Sound scrappy but at that time it just felt like the rhythm of things. Figure it out as you go.

By Sleeping Bear Dunes the car smelled like wet towels and bad coffee and neither of us cared.

This summer looks nothing like that one. I wake up in a different city with a diploma on the wall, flights bookmarked instead of booked, and half-written texts that never found replies. My biggest detour now is the walk from my desk to the kitchen. The road noise has been replaced by job-hunt tabs and visa paperwork. Same month on the calendar, completely different map.

I don't know when I'll get another trip like that with him. So I'm writing this down before it starts feeling like someone else's life.
