The Only Reason I Travel With My VR Headset Is the One Thing Meta Needs to Focus on More: Fitness

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-25 10:00:03

I almost never travel with VR headsets, no matter how many times I've been told flying with a Vision Pro to watch movies is great, or how headsets can help you make a virtual computer desktop on the road. But I took one with me for my last three-week trip, and there was only one reason why: it was my fitness gear. I've been working on losing weight the last year, and increasing my exercise. VR workouts have become a part of my regimen, because they're motivating, they don't need a lot of equipm

I've Been Running for Over 15 Years. These Are the Best Treadmills of 2025

The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor. The treadmill itself is also on the bigger side since it's a commercial treadmill, but it does fold up using its easylift assist feature, so

The Pixel Watch 4 doesn’t fix a longtime Fitbit problem, and I hate it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-01 12:30:11

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Google unveiled the new and improved Pixel Watch 4, yet one of my long-standing asks remains unanswered: true multi-device support. With AI coaching arriving in October, I’d love to see Fitbit allow more than one active device per user. When brands like Garmin and Apple handle this seamlessly, its absence is starting to feel less like an oversight and more like a conscious trade-off. If you could use a Fitbit along with the Pixel Watch, would you do that? 104

Taking a look at my old Palm IIIx – by Paul Lefebvre

We’ve been doing some cleaning and purging here at Chez Lefebvre and stumbled across a relic. While cleaning, my wife was going through a box of what she thought contained old folders and notebooks, but hidden inside an old Franklin Covey Planner (also a relic and popular in the 90s) was my original Palm IIIx! This particular planner actually had a slot inside to contain the Palm itself, which is why it got lost for so long! As I recall, I bought this Palm IIIx in September 1999 and I feel like
