The eye strain from this thing kills me. I’ll update it one more time to wipe it and sell it off. It’s been a huge nothing burger the last year for my use case. Even Apple doesn’t really know what it is meant to be used for based on store management and staff polling me on what I used ot for in my LLC.

The great products Timmeh has created.
I can use it for hours without issue maybe it’s more of an issue with your eyes?

I go through the eye setup every time I use it just to ensure the best clarity and have no issues, perhaps it could help with your eye strain.

Glad to see visionOS continues to get updates with security fixes simultaneously as the other OSes for Apple’s devices.

Have there been any particular bugs with visionOS?
There's a major memory-leak in visionOS that slows the whole OS down after an indeterminate amount of use. Force quitting apps helps but restart needed to fully resolve.

I think it must be something to do with how it doesn't seem to ever freeze apps like padOS and iOS does.

There's no way they don't know about it though so could be a hardware issue.

Enlighten me.
When you dictate text it sometimes doubles up what you’ve said. I accepted it as a bug at the beginning, but the fact it still happens 12 months later is a bit crazy.

FWIW though, I love it. If you’re thinking of getting one, I highly recommend it.
