One time I left a (much smaller) snow helmet on my car. After a very mild stop at a stoplight, I instantly had a blocked windshield too heavy for the wipers to fix in-situ.
I was able to turn into a small parking lot without risk of hitting anyone/anything and clear it off.
Overall: 2/10, would not recommend.
It can be annoying and difficult, but it’s worth going the extra mile even if it seems like a small amount of snow.
It’s a pretty well-tuned signal of distress.
It’s only noticeable up-close, so enemies or predators aren’t likely to notice.
It’s pretty expensive to do, so you’re not going to spam it. Your body takes a while to make more tears, and you need those to keep your eyes comfortable.
It does a good job of making you harmless so others know it’s safe to help you. It’s hard to see through teary eyes, and hard to coordinate muscles when you’re shuddering from sobs.

If you get the washer, don’t slack on safety. That shit’ll mess you up in a millisecond.
Did yall read the article?
I think it’s a bad idea in general, currently being produced in unethical ways by people with unethical aims, consistently failing to deliver on a tenth of what was promised and already ruining a lot of stuff despite its frailty.
Meh. TechDirt is great for privacy stuff, but market analysis isn’t their wheelhouse.
I think Vision Pro pretty much accomplished what Apple wanted from it.
Tech press kept comparing it to “the iPhone moment”, but that’s ridiculous. It’s a dev kit.
A dev kit with the best hardware, at a lower price than the second-best, and a more mature OS than anything else out there.
We’ll have to see how it evolves from here, but it’s a perfectly fine first step. Not everything is for you.
