UTM v4.5.2 is out with support for UTM Server, a way to do remote desktop from iOS/visionOS to your VM running on macOS. You can get the free client on the App Store: https://t.co/G7AWtIoPGy

(Also includes big fixes and other quality of life changes.)

Also shoutout to @ktemkin whose QEMU TCTI implementation was pivotal for this JIT-less build.

[UTM @UTMapp]

We are happy to announce that UTM SE is available (for free) on iOS and visionOS App Store (and coming soon to AltStore PAL)!

Shoutouts to AltStore team for their help and to Apple for reconsidering their policy.

Reminder of what is possible if virtualization was allowed in the App Store

@KingOfNerdsVR While we both wear Vision Pros? 👀
Busy would be anunderstatement to describe my activity level this week, but maybe I can squeeze it in in a few!
I’ll DM you on Discord.

I can’t get my files into Vision Pro and screen sharing isn’t working and I’m getting very frustrated.

[Gavin Shapiro 🐧 @shapiro500]

Wow Sora is so amazing, I wanted to really push it to the limits and see how it would handle a very complex prompt:

“A 45-45-90 right triangle divides in half within itself repeatedly to create an organized fractal structure with self similarity, increasing in size from small at the top left to large at the bottom right, the whole structure is gradually growing from the top left point as the origin to create a seamless loop over 8 seconds, the individual triangles form platforms like a staircase descending downwards and have small rounded corners, as they move towards the bottom of the screen they each divide in half and one half moves downwards slightly to create another step and then the halves should divide in half again and one moves downwards to create one more step, after the second division curved cut-outs inside the triangles emerge upwards in a mechanical motion to form a continuous winding curved path towards the top of the structure, the edges of the path cutouts should be visible in the floor before they emerge so the viewer can anticipate the path being formed, after the path pieces move into place three Adélie penguins hop upwards along the path chasing a bright turquoise butterfly, the penguins should be hopping like the penguins in the following videos [https://t.co/1tB1SoKh9f, https://t.co/i6VJVxIhd9, https://t.co/JtdZedhnyM] and should be progressing up the path while staying visually centered onscreen, the animation of the triangle platforms dividing and path forming and penguins hopping should be visually clear from top to bottom and arranged in such a way that you can look anywhere in the image to focus on a certain part of the story yet also be able to follow along from top to bottom to watch how the story unfolds throughout the image, the platforms should all be made of an elegant slightly reflective light wooden floor and white walls like a contemporary art museum, as each path segment moves upwards into place it is revealed that it is built on reflective chrome columns, lighting in the room is dark except for a single spotlight following the penguins and thin neon tube lighting around the edge of each triangle platform placed just below the floor level so that when the platforms divide and descend it reveals the neon light from the platform behind it which lights up the edges of the newly formed triangles and makes their form clear to the viewer's eye, some more neon lights inside the edge of the gap left by the path segments rising to form the path, the large dark triangle that makes up the upper right corner should be divided repeatedly by subtly glowing lines in a similar structure to the main layout but moving in the opposite direction as if to suggest that the 45-45-90 triangle on which the whole structure is based is being gradually disintegrated over time into a series of smaller identical triangles and emotionally relatable architecture as a frame for the penguins at the center to make them seem like the protagonist of the piece even though the true protagonist is the triangle itself, in the style of shapiro500, isometric 3d, beautiful lighting, best quality, masterpiece, hyperdetailed 4k, octane render”

but I don't have Sora access so I made it by hand with Cinema 4D instead

Thank you for sending your kitties, nicknames and stories! If you’re having a bad day, here’s a thread of lovely kitties ♥️

New Swift project: a library to automatically allocate an unused port and also set up UPnP/NAT-PMP port forwarding to make the port accessible over the internet. This is done by wrapping low level DNS-SD APIs into a Swift friendly interface. https://t.co/3of3kyYbBT

@RomainDerrien Hehe nice! here was mine from back in the day:

My #AugmentedReality app idea is coming to life thanks to ARKit, SpriteKit, AVFoundation, CoreImage and @twostraws. 👌

Found a really cool accessibility setting in visionOS that exposes your eye tracking directly

It’s really trippy to see your own saccades, especially when reading lines of texts.

[CONATH @_conath]

@SnazzyLabs Clearly what is missing from your Vision Pro experience is a Nixie Clock. Right? …right!?
(what can I say, I just really like Nixie Clocks)

[CONATH @_conath]

@maxweisel (I made this little clock instead https://t.co/OUI4qk5Fif )

[CONATH @_conath]

@maxweisel Yes it's quite annoying. Can't make an audio app happen that I have been sitting on for years, and that only really makes sense in MR, because half of AVFoundation is missing. :/ Hope it gets added soon. (FB13608878)
