Chris Ashley shares his thoughts you need to be aware of before you invest in a power generator for emergency situations. Plus Amazon gives up on acquiring Roomba-maker iRobot. And the Browser Company has a new iOS app out, called Arc Search.

AVP Neck - GDI 4694 starts at 34:10

The battery backup conversation continues. Do you want to be an avatar in your next meeting? Zoom has a Vision Pro app for you. Chris is not a fan of avatars. So much scanning. Will the corporate world accept their employees using a headset for meetings? How heavy is too heavy? Will you have an AVP neck? AR-VR talk takes over. Filmed before a live avatar audience. Why is that guy's head shrinking? Don’t smoke your Apple Vision Pro.

Starring Tom Merritt, Chris Ashley, Roger Chang, Joe.

I was thinking of my old job when thinking about meetings and if a VR headset made sense. And for that I'm with Chris - I just don't see it helping with the Executive Oversight Committee, except to maybe have a raft of documents/notes more easily at my disposal, but not visible to the participants. In my current job as a luthier, I could see a discussion about a repair technique benefitting from a 3D model, maybe. Still not the same as hands-on. Also, I really want a brisket now. Edit: Now that I'm thinking of it, Hololens would have been better for the repair meeting as we would be able to point things out to each other (at least according to the demos) on real broken instruments.
