Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed? (lemm.ee)

Rules:

*You can teleport into and out of it at will

*It has a couple of plug sockets and can connect to internet from the region you teleported in from

*You can take objects and people with you

*As already stated, it is (3m)^3 (3m*3m*3m). The walls are plain plaster with a light in the middle of the ceiling. The pocket dimension is topologically toroidal, so if there weren't walls and a ceiling/floor (which you can actually destroy) you would loop if you went more than 3m in any direction. Gravity, then, is artificial and can be altered to anywhere from 0 to 2g from a dial on the wall.

Edit: additional specifications

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

*Time proceeds at the same rate inside the pocket dimension

*There is an eject button for those inside to get out if something happens to you

Long trips on planes/trains/busses would be a lot more enjoyable.

Emergency supplies would be available at a moments notice including escape from the elements (camping/travel just became a breeze) .

Would you be able to free dive super deep taking each breath or a rest in the pocket dimmension?

Since the pocket dimension would be sea level pressure, dipping into it for a breath when you're deep is a sure way to get the bends, which would be a painful way to die. (Especially if nobody is there to help you.)

Also, would you leave a void in the water if you teleported out of it, or a big puddle in your cube going the other way?
