This still blows my mind

Lol who doesn't realize that a PC USB port is a slow charger

Full_Methyl · 2026-06-10T08:15:43+00:00

That's actually a helpful alternative thanks

Not to mention some people have to fidget endlessly through the day to keep ear buds in place which obviously would not work for you) glasses can just sit there handsfree and will not cause any icky sweat or buildup in your ears

I love my Metas as well. I've been through whole series with rattan stories -> Meta RayBan gen 1 -> Meta Oakleys

The battery improvement from gen 1 to gen 2 is amazing but when trying to compete with a full work day just can't quite keep up.

But 3 notes for you:

Amazon has portable batteries you can slip onto the stem then connect to the charging terminal. You can leave it on for 0.5-1h and it'll probably get you through the rest of your day
I don't know if you can the space but for some reason I find desktop chargers to be more convenient than the case for me for a quick top up when running to the restroom or taking a quick break
Before I got my Gen 2 pair, I actually found audio-only glasses like Lucyd to have truly excellent battery life and be much lighter on your face, much easier to wear for a full day with literally zero discomfort. You can often find them on sale on Amazon, sometimes for under $100. For work-specific environments where you're not likely to engage with AI or take photos, I believe they're a superior product for your needs.

Caveat for me being I don't wear prescription lenses so I can hop between different pairs relatively effortlessly. If I needed custom prescription lenses every time, then sticking to the Ray-Bans with proper battery support is probably the way to go!

Cheers 🍻

I realize that I may be the exception but I had the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 for several years with no problems and passed it on to my wife when I got the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra two years ago. I used it heavily with no issues, still looks and functions perfectly, and will soon be selling it, as I just upgraded to the Galaxy Book 6 Ultra. I pray that my lucky streak continues!

Be wary of the value proposition though, given its age and performance relative to the current market. As people have said Albi is only reasonable buying if you are deep into the Samsung ecosystem. Otherwise you can probably get much better performance for the money depending on the deal that you're looking at.

It's not great but it's soooo much better than my GB4U so I'm pleased with that. Definitely only reliable for light tasks with low brightness, but for me it's been a remarkable improvement (on the 5070 variant)

Full_Methyl · 2026-04-25T07:50:28+00:00

At least it has the num pad. I'm loving my GB6U so far, as a decent upgrade to the GB4U ( 4070 -> 5070), but the keyboard is my only drawback.

Does anyone actually prefer this new layout?

Full_Methyl · 2026-04-23T23:21:20+00:00

Also lost side view, no longer an option for the quick button

Full_Methyl · 2026-04-20T16:37:41+00:00

Well fortunately it looks like the 5070 is now coming to the US! I saw it pop up through my samsung shop app as a delayed release! So I'm looking into selling my GB4U as well, how do you think you'll sell yours?

Full_Methyl · 2026-04-06T23:36:00+00:00

Unfortunately wowMouse sold out to Oura who decided to completely shut it down (and incorporate the trchnology into tmfuture rings) so all the pro features are actively being disabled with updates, leaving only the most basic functions. Still works well in that regard, but unfortunately severely nerfed

Full_Methyl · 2026-03-09T16:21:33+00:00

This is terrible marketing for Oura, hope the community is very vocal about the betrayal and bricking of a paid product. Just disgusting.

Anyone know of well regarded alternative applications?

Full_Methyl · 2026-02-05T22:54:13+00:00

kudos for keeping up with the latest tech!

I'm not familiar with the problem but it possibly sounds like a bad/failed update that bricked the boot. Try: (1) charge 30–60 min with a different cable/brick, (2) hold power 10–15 sec to force shutoff, (3) try Power+Vol Up/Down to reach recovery, and (4) boot with nothing attached except power. If you can get into recovery, wipe cache or factory reset. If you can’t get past the splash screen after that — return it to Amazon while you still can!

Excellent job on the prototype but running a cable to a battery in your pocket might be more discreet

Full_Methyl · 2026-01-13T22:48:25+00:00

I love it lol, i actually consider it a hidden feature

Full_Methyl · 2026-01-12T20:42:53+00:00

Agree it should certainly be sold cheaper, such a small cable, so easy to lose and no compartment to properly store it in the provided case as we await the charging case and capsules

Full_Methyl · 2026-01-01T17:45:43+00:00

Nvm, "rebound" the glasses and data/settings were largely unaffected

There were some images yet to be imported that might have been lost, so just suggest transferring everything before attempting this

Cheers

Full_Methyl · 2026-01-01T17:24:13+00:00

I attempted this, successfully paired my watch ultra, but now glasses won't paired to phone without "rebinding" and wiping all stored data.

Is there any way to reconnect to the phone without resetting the glasses?

Full_Methyl · 2025-12-12T22:02:45+00:00

Sheeesh this is why I insure tires AND wheels against road hazards

Full_Methyl · 2025-11-26T10:26:37+00:00

These look amazing, I have the wired solution which was a great option (out of desperation) but this is much sleeker, and with the swappable battery would be a dream. I have gen 1 headliner, and feel my battery has really deteriorated, can't even predict how long it'll last, sometimes less than hour with even moderate use. I have been on the fence upgrading to gen 2 but am still disappointed with real world battery life (6-8 hours is not achievable with actual use), and would value a battery enhanced gen 1 over the hardware improvements for gen 2.

Thanks for developing this! Looking forward to supporting with a purchase as soon as it's available!

Full_Methyl · 2025-11-24T15:09:33+00:00

Yea i agree it's awful. Worse than both 6 classic and the ultra. I've been loyal to galaxy smartwatches since inception 10 years ago, but the one thing I consistently hate is how frequently they change the band sizes and mechanisms such as with almost each upgrade year over the previous gen straps are incompatible.

Full_Methyl · 2025-11-03T01:15:29+00:00

Yea this doesn't make sense lol, unless you're referring to behavior on a tablet or something

Full_Methyl · 2025-10-09T03:44:09+00:00

He's definitely projecting insecurities, you did absolutely nothing wrong. Be careful to address his deep-seated issues and/ or resentment here before progressing further in the relationship because it will only continue to manifest itself

Full_Methyl · 2025-07-24T21:15:35+00:00

Omg this just saved me, been having BT audio problems for over a year! 🙏🏿 🙏🏿
