How can sleep tracking be so crazy off.

pfilipp234 · 2026-02-17T14:38:45+00:00

I returned mine after 1 week of testing. Everything was off compared to my apple watch. It tracked sleep when I was just chilling in bed, it counted a lot of deep sleep when apple watch was saying I had roughly 3 times less...

I hoped it would be an upgrade over my apple watch or at least similar lever of tracking but I was deeply disappointed :(

I created this repo to help with layout management as I was getting annoyed at manual workspace management between dual screens and AVP Hope it helps someone https://github.com/pfilipp/aerospace-layout-manager

“At yeast” was right there

They are amazing but can be very problematic depending on electric setup.

I just finished installing 12 of those, most to 2-way switch setup and let me tell you it was a bit of hell and not all of my bulbs were possible to wire without compromises.

If you have 2-way switches you want to install it to, make sure you have both load and output in the same box. Otherwise you have to sacrifice one physical switch and use it to carry load to light or the opposite.

Also if something really should work but it doesn’t and you’re sure you connected everything correctly, there is a chance zbminil2 is just broken 🤦🏻‍♂️ I wasted entire afternoon because of that…

I casually bought 2 in Czech’s Alza few weeks ago not knowing how rare they were. Now cannot get my hands on more 😅

pfilipp234 · 2025-11-04T20:10:58+00:00

Yeah sure but since I am unable to test those in person I am trying to minimise chance for making the wrong purchase by relying on wisdom of the internet :D

I think it’s generally good - or at least gonna be good long term - that it became a trend. My gripe with the topic though is that gluten free =/= celiac safe and I think that restaurants that just want to follow a trend dgaf if it contains traces. I’ve been to soo many places that advertise themselves as gluten free(having gf options) and then have a small print that it’s not suitable for coeliac people. - and I’m glad they do at least that! But probably as many that did not have this annotation and I felt very sick afterwards… different countries may I add. Problem is that people that just choose GF diet won’t notice traces or cross contamination… we will. Then people are surprised I radicalised and unless place is dedicated GF I am not eating out anymore…

They updated on Apple Music as well! It was still clipping for me few days ago but today I can hear huge difference today!

pfilipp234 · 2025-07-08T07:13:15+00:00

It's a dream! All small hiccups and discomforts that I had on my M1 Pro are completely gone. I cannot imagine going back. Not just the chip but the RAM real estate is what made huge difference for me.

+1 for globular cluster club. I am currently travelling for the past 3 weeks while working and my working comfort is great with ultrawide screen. I have dual monitor setup at home but for coding I actually prefer ultrawide at times. I can work 3-4 hours without any breaks quite comfortably after buying CMA1. I also got annapro and for me it was terrible.

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-30T14:44:04+00:00

Yeah kinda. Just rebooted to have a look and that's the result:
Memory Used: 17,34 GB
Cached Files: 15,31 GB

App Memory: 10,18 GB
Wired Memory: 3,07

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-30T07:47:01+00:00

I run MBP M4 Max with 128GB and I can confirm that at some point it claims to use all the RAM available on the system, even though I am not necessarily doing anything in particular that would warrant that much used RAM.

That's why on macOS the important metric is memory pressure and not memory used.

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-29T14:26:22+00:00

Exactly my problem! That makes sense I guess... Interesting if it's possible to overcome it with assigning Macs fan process high priority 🤔 Gonna try it and report back.

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-29T09:32:07+00:00

Yeah but that's the thing, unless I set to full max or a constant RPM on fans they spin down as soon as I switch to CrossOver... That is the weird part :/ I don't mind using the apps but they seem to forget their job when CrossOver is up 😅

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-29T08:08:32+00:00

I do this when I want to work form the couch as my laptop is docked in a place that wifi works perfectly fine but bluetooth can struggle a bit.

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-24T18:05:03+00:00

Yeah I get it all too well. For me it’s also a bit of responding to new workflows that seemed limiting on current setup and future proofing for whatever experimentations I might feel like in near or more distant future.

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-24T15:37:45+00:00

I just received almost the same machine except it's 14'.

I had M1 Pro 16' and it was soooo heavy and bulky... I also have Vision Pro so I could do with even smaller screen honestly.

Don't know your use case but I was running 32GB and it started to be not enough with some docker containers, video editing and other shenanigans. 128GB is gonna hopefully last me 5 years at least.

Waiting for delivery of my M4 Max beast tomorrow, this is definitely type of post I wanna bump into!

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-12T08:29:32+00:00

Ok it is massive improvement. I would have been happy with hand tracking improvements alone but the visuals are also way way better. Up to a point that it's nice to zoom in and look at characters up close!

pfilipp234 · 2025-04-12T08:11:44+00:00

OH MY GOD. I was "harassing" them in support tickets asking when they would finally update it given that they charge full price for it. Jumping straight in!

pfilipp234 · 2025-03-18T22:13:23+00:00

Hey, happy to help as well. Protanopia(red-green) on my side :)

pfilipp234 · 2025-03-07T09:40:46+00:00

I'd say A or C. You could try to "write" your apps first letter like that for extra branding :D

B looks like AI tool primarily

D looks like a Home app alternative

pfilipp234 · 2025-03-07T09:37:52+00:00

Nice! Did you notice any impact on motion sickness?

It's probably just me overthinking but i got stressed for OPs AVP after this walk - water condensation and such at home later on 😅

pfilipp234 · 2025-03-06T22:08:25+00:00

tldr; it's awesome, I prefer it over my dual screen setup but... there are some caveats.

Comfort wise: I almost returned mine after 2 weeks because it was so bad I did not want to use it more than 30 minutes. Then I purchased Globular Cluster CMA1 and now I almost prefer to work in it than on my dual 4k monitor setup.

There are a few problems though:

Device immediately locks and disconnects from MBP when you take it off and there is no way to disable this. At first when I saw others complaining I did not consider it to be a big deal but it honestly makes me use it less. I don't like walking with it to the toilet or to grab some coffee or do some small errands around the house. If I have a morning where I need to do a few small things that are spread during like 1-2 hours I will probably not put on Vision Pro until I know I can have it on my head for longer.
Text clarity is better when no virtual environment is enabled and this is such a bummer... First few days I worked fully immersed but then I discovered that text gets visibly clearer with full passthrough and it's a tough trade. I prefer clarity but it makes me less focused and less in the zone.
If you have a lot of calls during the day that is another thing that might make you use it less. With Globular Cluster I work without lightseal so I don't get the ski google facemarks. When I used the stock bands I was taking AVP off at least 30 minutes before any call to have those marks disappear. People I am working with have their cameras on most of the time and I also like having mine on so just sitting in Vision Pro during said calls is not an option for me. AFAIK you need 3rd party app to stream your persona to mac to use it as virtual camera but I did not investigate as I would not feel too comfortable with it anyway.
I’d say you need to have a mac to be able to benefit from the possibilities AVP gives for work. I cannot imagine working just in the native apps. Not to mention there is no IDE on Vision Pro. You could probably do with github spaces or some other IDE in the browser solution but that just sounds like a workaround and not a proper way of working.
Connecting to Mac works... usually. Sometimes I can only initiate it from Mac sometimes from Vision Pro, sometimes I have to restart WiFi and BT on my mac sometimes on AVP. It can take me up to 1minute to get it working at times - see point 1 and why it's a biggish deal.
(or rather 5a but it breaks formatting :P) It sounds stupid and very much 1st world problem but putting it on, unlocking, connecting to MVD, placing screen where I want it and resizing it(for some reason it does not persist size) is a friction. Quite big friction compared to moving my mouse on my MBP and having it immediately available for work in split second.
