Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, and Web Bixby represent both Apple Vision Pro owners and those still waiting to get one discuss the possibility of third-party controllers for the device, Options and uses that include productivity, gaming, and media consumption could all be changed with the addition of hardware controllers…but would it be a good idea?
The idea of an Apple Vision Pro has been talked about as a way to make the device more affordable. Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, and Eric Bolden consider the implications of inking the Vision Pro to the iPhone for power and processing and how that would impact the user experience. Whether that would actually result in a significant cost savings is called into question, and the use cases it would and wouldn’t impact are discussed.
The discussion with Jeff Gamet on a recent edition of The Mac Show on The British Tech Network finishes off thoughts on the smart assistants we use before turning to why one of us uses Clipboard Managers extensively and one hasn’t found a reason to do so, in spite of the fact that he has one installed.
We wrap up our conversation with Mike Schmitz about how his latest project, LifeHQ, organizes your projects, to-dos, and your life (hence the name). Mike explains some of the key concepts behind his system, how it integrates with apps that you already are using, and the modularity of his approach. Best of all, you can adopt features as your needs and time dictate, rather than have to learn everything all at once. (Part 2)
Mike Schmitz has been working on his new project, LifeHQ, for a long time. Built on Obsidian, LifeHQ is, “Everything You Need to Run Your Whole Life.” Mike explains his combination of personal knowledge management (PKM) and productivity enhancement and how it turns items like notes and journaling into actionable insights. Inspired by Mike’s productivity projects and studies, LifeHQ brings it all in one place. (Part 1)
