Thanks for looking all of this stuff up. I do not want a new desk because I like my current desk. So, this walking pad with no handles isn’t my cup of tea.
Thanks again for the information.

I also seen some information about mini steppers, in which is the mini version of a master stepper, as well as the walking pads. A standing desk, also known as a stand-up desk or height-adjustable desk, is a piece of office furniture that allows you to stand while working. Standing desks can be fixed in place, only adjustable a few inches, or adjustable to seated height. Some standing desks are designed to keep you active while working, such as treadmill or elliptical desks. You can also convert a traditional desk into a standing desk by adding a desk riser, which raises your monitor or laptop to eye level. Standing Desks: Everything You Need to Know Dec 1, 2016 — and then there's the adjustable height standing desk the fixed standing desk or rig is any setup that allows a person to stand or be upright. but doesn't give them the option to sit down. along with a traditional standing desk this category also includes some desks that were designed to keep you active while you work including the treadmill desk and even elliptical desks besides the full desks there are also rigs that let you raise your computer and monitors to standing height. this type of desk is kind of an easy DIY. project. it's not so hard to make there are also dozens of commercially available options in the marketplace. today. but in just a minute I'm going to explain why this isn't the type I would necessarily recommend. for standing at work. next up our risers. risers. are in addition to your existing desk they give you the option to quickly go from sitting to standing or vice versa. Evolution of Standing Desks Standing desks may seem like the hot new thing, but they're really not new. Also known as a stand-up desk or a height-adjustable desk, this office mainstay has definitely gained popularity in recent years as a way to improve health and productivity in the workplace. But the concept of standing while working is not a new one. In fact, the history of standing desks dates back hundreds of years.

I plan on doing so, this week. I am still searching so if you have discovered a model that you find interesting, let us know. One thing I will insist on is that my unit must have, at least, 2.5 horse power. Anything less than 2.5 will simply not last long enough, based on how I intend to use the unit.

The better options I found were priced from $200 and up to About $380. They all could be stored under a bed and one producer claimed their pad could be stored under a sofa. A couple had adjustable incline features. A question for Mark and anyone else who might know. Even though those that send data to a smart phone tracking app are at a higher price point, are there any that are relatively easy to operate without vision? One walking pad used a remote control. I'm not sure about others. I'm interested in a walking pad after learning about them from Mark, so will appreciate any help about their accessibility.. Richard Petty [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> -----Original Message----- From: M. Taylor <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Saturday, June 1, 2024 3:34 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: From Mark: Some Comments, Answers, and Questions Hello All, 1. Well, I recently returned from a short vacation and during the trip, for the first time, I made extensive use of Air Tags. I was delighted to discover that they work remarkably well. However, to me, it seemed, that using the Find My app, with the Left Behind notification feature enabled, drain my battery a little faster than expected. I don't know if this is exactly true because, during the journey, I did take more photos than normal and my screen brightness was set to a higher level in order for me to be able to see the phone's display, out in the sunlight. 2. Someone, on list, suggested that she could not add a television series to her recorded list in Youtube TV for TVOS. I just tested this feature on my Apple TV, and found that the feature functions as expected, when VoiceOver is enabled. 3. One of the latest trends in home exercise is using a walking pad. Essentially, a walking pad is a much smaller version of a treadmill. Generally, the cost of a walking pad starts at around 140 USD. Many of them require no assembly and do not have a handrail. They are so very popular that, during my research, I discovered, at least, 30 brands with seemingly endless models. As a former owner of over 12 full-size exercise devices including several very expensive commercial grade treadmills, which I used in order to achieve my various health goals many years ago, I have decided to purchase one of these walking pads. For the record, although I thoroughly enjoyed my commercial grade devices, keeping those machines in proper order takes a great deal of tools, parts, and time (if one elects to maintain them by hand, as I did) or a great deal of money if one elects to have them serviced on a regular basis. One feature that I would like to have on my new walking pad is the ability to have all of the exercise statistics sent to the Apple Health app. So far, I have not found one that claims to do this. At least, I have not found one less than 1000 USD that has this feature. So, if you are using a walking pad or you discover one that has a smart app feature, let me know. Thank you. 4. In my home office, I have an Apple TV that was connected to a 14 year old 21 inch television. For the past couple of years, because of various reasons that are not relative to this topic, the active scan feature of Apple TV did not work with the set. Basically, this means that the edges of the Apple TV display went beyond the edge of the television's visible area. Not a big deal as I only use this set once or twice a year and when doing so, I mostly listened to the content, rather than watched it. Still, I have been passively searching for a small form factor television to replace the old one. In my experience, it has been almost impossible to locate a new, modern technology television, that is smaller than 24 inches. I had almost given up when, in my local Best Buy store, a couple of days ago, we spotted an area of the store filled with Insignia branded televisions. Insignia is Best Buy's house brand. Guess what? They have and I purchased a 19 inch model for 49 USD, before tax. The biggest surprised? when I powered on the unit for the first time, a screen reader asked if I wanted to leave the screen reader on or turn it off. This is a marvelous little set that offers anything you could want in a television; including a built-in screen reader. So, if you're in the market for a tiny TV that works beautifully with Apple TV, give the Insignia models a try. Okay, I think that's all for now. I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to any and all replies. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
