This is super useful for me - this would let me easily connect back to my desktop PC at home while I'm away or connected to other networks.
For me, getting into the flow of programming is as much about the environment as it is anything else. Scenery, keyboard, mouse, desktop environment, form factor, etc. I am peculiar about all of it depending on context (collab space vs. in transit vs. coffee shop vs. at home hacking)
To have a device where I could be literally floating in space with all of the context surrounding me sounded like nirvana. Until you actually try it and the world is blurry, resolution is shitty, fonts look like garbage, etc.
I've settled for a very large ultra wide monitor - 5120x1440@240hz resolution which takes up ~3 screens worth of horizontal space without the bevel. If I could get one twice as tall pixel and physical dimension wise I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I want so bad for it to work, but it doesn't.

I can recommend using a 8k 55" TV as a monitor. They can sometimes be found for around 1000 USD and I am quite happy with mine after several years of use.
I used to run a 42" 4k monitor before this at 100% scaling, which made everything a little too small in the corners and I kinda wished it was curved, but with the 55 it's no problem.
A key element is that although the resolution is lower than a real monitor, you get to make the monitor bigger. So the limit ends up being when you start having to turn your head to see what's on the other side of the monitor, which sounds benign but is an ergonomic disaster.
It allows me to rent a cheap cloud machine, build and test code there instead of upgrading my laptop.
I have a feeling that this limit used to be 10 tunnels/user, did they decrease it?
