Absolutely! Choice episodes of this and the oddly named How to DJ kept me going over Christmas!

This game looks great, but my favourite part of this video is definitely the commentary!

Honestly, this is one of the best life hacks. Has saved me a lot of procrastination.

In a similar vein, I was wondering about the impact of buying space on advertising hoardings to show some purely educational content for once. Could work on YT too. Oases of quality amongst the commercial brain rot.

I do appreciate how Apple provides a usable office suite with every device.

IMHO outrageously good, like all their mixes of that era :).

One detail of the #AppleVisionPro I'm rarely seeing reported is the price drop, outside of the US. The M5 model is about 10% cheaper than the M2 was. Still some way off mass-market, but definitely more tempting for those on the fence.

This has been asked before! I'm also curious...

Also, absolutely loving this quality content. The overview of immersive formats was so valuable.

I'd love to know how sales of the #AppleVisionPro are right now. I'm seeing local availability of all models vary a lot.

I expect it's a combo of conservative supply and a reasonable amount of demand, but those units don't seem to be hanging about.

This is a great idea, and especially helpful for those of us in different time zones!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm not quite there on my journey yet, but love finding out about visionOS workshops generally. Still working my way through the "Create immersive media experiences..." videos.

Oh my, the new Dual Knit Band is a game-changer. Everything felt lighter, and adjustment was a dream. Hats off to whichever team came up with that! #AppleVisionPro

The M1 Macs were a turning point, for sure!

Cheers for the link, though... There's some fascinating kit in there! ๐Ÿชฐ

This is an impressive analysis, after such a short demo. Nice work!!

The white witch is certainly there, looking pensive and cross. That's likely Edmund by her side, though all but his hair is concealed by a white band across the bottom of the book with a barcode and price.

Good memories! The artwork might have been less obscured on your copies though...

As predicted, the last challenge was a rabbit hole! Looking forward to having all these concepts make so much sense that my code doesn't become so convoluted.

Well, that's the accessibility section enjoyed and done! The challenges of the next two days might be a bit less straightforward, but let's see!

As I'd gone completely off-piste with the Guess the Flag project and couldn't test VoiceOver properly in the visionOS simulator, I instead modified the sample code for the iOS app from the GitHub repository.

Turns out it's not that hard to improve the accessibility of basic apps. It was gratifying to revisit some previous tutorial projects and make them work better with VoiceOver!
