You drop into an iMessage quick tip and quickly branch into a whole toolkit for running your Apple life smarter. You learn faster ways to edit messages, how Slack's up-arrow muscle memory carries over, and why platforms limit your edit window. From there, the show rolls into clever NFC and QR workflows for appliance manuals, Time Machine fixes over SMB on Synology, and a deep dive on spam and email hygiene: Fastmail's undelete safety net, SaneBox's smart filtering, Apple Mail's categories, plus when to reach for SpamSieve or even your own chatbot to watch junk folders so you Don't Get Caught losing important mail. The crew also compares real‑world email providers, DNS setups (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9), and router‑level changes that stabilize your network. You get a reality check on legacy cruft—Trip Mode, MacFUSE, ancient launch agents—still loading after years of Migration Assistant, and how tools like Lingon and CleanMyMac help you audit what's secretly running. On the fun-and-productivity side, you hear honest impressions of Apple Vision Pro: tabletop-style multiplayer games like Demeo, surprisingly usable virtual desktops, the importance of dual straps and decent cases, and when to skip hotel Wi‑Fi in favor of hotspots or a UniFi travel router so your Macs, iPads, and headsets all “think” they're at home. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1131 for Monday, March 2nd, 2026 March 2nd: National Banana Cream Pie Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba!

Agnes watches a reaction video, Picard recieves the parent voice, and Seven plays some Meta Quest. Meanwhile Cameron has some miming notes, Rob loses track of time, and Bobi names her period. Engage!

We dive deep into the Meta Quest v85 update, the removal of the Horizon Feed, and how the new Navigator UI is changing the user experience. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": Valve's Steam Frame delay. With component prices skyrocketing, can Valve still deliver the "Steam Deck of VR"? This conversation delves into the evolving landscape of virtual reality, focusing on recent updates in hardware, Meta's Horizon platform, and the implications of AI in social media and smart glasses. The speakers discuss the challenges of rising PC hardware prices, the user experience in social VR, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI features. They also explore the future of XR technology and Meta's strategic direction, emphasizing the importance of user feedback and engagement in product development. In this conversation, Bradley Lynch and GT discuss the evolving landscape of VR gaming, focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by new hardware and software developments. They explore the implications of Steam's gaming ecosystem, the potential of eye tracking technology, and the future of social gaming experiences in VR. The discussion also touches on Apple's recent acquisition related to XR technology and the innovative features of new gaming applications like Retrocade

Virtuix CEO Jan Goetgeluk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has officially joined the Made for Meta program from Meta Platforms. Through the partnership, Virtuix plans to make its Omni One 360-degree treadmill compatible with Meta Quest headsets and games, significantly expanding Omni One's reach to the world's largest XR user base. Goetgeluk told Proactive that Meta operates one of the world's largest immersive platforms, with tens of millions of Quest headsets already in the market and continued investment in extended reality technologies. The Made for Meta program authorizes select third-party manufacturers to develop high-quality, certified products that seamlessly integrate into the Meta ecosystem. Virtuix expects to provide further details on product compatibility and timing in the near future. Omni One combines immersive virtual reality gameplay with meaningful physical activity. The omni-directional treadmill enables users to walk, run, crouch, and jump naturally in full 360 degrees within video games and other virtual environments, delivering a fully embodied gaming experience. Virtuix continues to scale its proprietary full-body movement technology across consumer, enterprise, and defense markets. The company reported 138% year-over-year revenue growth for the six months ended September 30, 2025, and has manufacturing capacity in place to support production of up to 3,000 units per month—representing approximately $100 million in annual revenue potential as demand accelerates. #proactiveinvestors #virtuix #nasdaq #VTIX #Virtuix #VTIX #OmniOne #OmniOneCore #MadeForMeta #MetaQuest #MetaPlatforms #VRGaming #ExtendedReality #XR #ImmersiveGaming #FullBodyVR #GamingInnovation #VRFitness #ConsumerTech #TechPartnership #GamingHardware #FutureOfGaming #RevenueGrowth #ScalableTech

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Wenn die Berechnungen einer Experience auf einem Computer erfolgen und diese dann an ein Headset ausgespielt werden, dass mittels eines Kabels oder auch kabellos mit dem Computer verbunden ist, dann nennen wir das Personal Computer Virtual Reality. Oder kurz: PCVR. In der heutigen Episode sprechen wir über PCVR! Was erst mal nicht besonders spektakulär klingen mag, es aber doch ist: Denn es ist das erste Mal, dass wir diesem Thema in über 120 Folgen eine eigene Episode widmen. Natürlich haben wir hier und da schon mal über PCVR gesprochen. In dieser Folge wollen wir uns dieser "Nische in der Nische" in aller Ausführlichkeit widmen. Warum jetzt? Die Versprechungen von Stand-Alone und Mixed-Reality als das, was uns zum Mainstream führt, konnten nicht eingehalten werden. Doch PCVR wächst nach den aktuellen Steam-Statistiken unbeirrt weiter. Es gab noch nie so viele unterschiedliche Headsets, die so einfach anzuschließen waren. Es gibt viel Content, und es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Für Tüftler, die sich in den Einstellungen vergraben wollen, als auch für jene, die einfach ihre Meta Quest 3 an den Computer anschließen wollen. Jemand, der sich intensiv damit auseinandersetzt, ist Stefan Berger. Der Content Creator aus Dormagen hat sich in seinem Hobbykeller ein PCVR-Nerdhöhle gebaut, aus dem er seine beiden YouTube-Kanäle befüllt. Er nimmt uns mit in seinen PCVR-Werdegang und hilft uns zu verstehen, was PCVR eigentlich ist und warum die Grenzen schwammiger sind, als ich es erst mal erwartet hätte. Außerdem besprechen wir die 8. Ausgabe des Aurea Awards, bei dem Thomas Bedenk erneut telgenommen hat. Und wir schauen uns das Anouncement der Lynx R2 an, die mit ihrem sehr großen Field of View beeindruckt.

Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

On this episode of the Ruff Talk VR podcast we are back to talking all the latest VR news! Unfortunately this includes some sad news on the Meta end with many layoffs to their Reality Labs division and many of their studios closing including Twisted Pixel, Armature and Sanzaru Games, as well as reductions to the Supernatural team.

In this episode of the Gamertag and Bradley VR Podcast, the hosts discuss significant changes in the VR industry, particularly focusing on Meta's recent decisions to shut down several studios and shift focus towards smart glasses. They explore the implications of these changes on the VR ecosystem, comparing it to historical events in the gaming industry, such as the rise and fall of Atari and the strategic success of Nintendo. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by smaller companies in the VR space due to market distortions caused by large investments from companies like Meta. They also discuss the potential future of VR and AR, emphasizing the importance of organic growth and innovation driven by passionate developers. The episode concludes with a hopeful outlook on the future of VR, despite the current upheavals.

Metal Geeks Episode 276: End of Year Geekery wraps up the year with Cary the Metal Geek alongside special guests Justin the Metal Detector from the Harsh Vocals podcast and Metal Mike Lawrence for an all-encompassing dive into metal, movies, TV, comics, and games. At the top of the show, the crew pays tribute to Rob Reiner, talks about Spinal Tap 2 heading to HBO Max, recaps live shows from Death Angel and Vio-lence, as well as Omnium Gatherum with Aether Realm and Hinayana, discusses Battle Beast and their new singer, and breaks down why rock and metal albums are dominating vinyl collectors lists, with nearly half of the most-collected releases on Discogs coming from the genre.  In What We're Watching, the Geeks cover Stranger Things Season 5, The Running Man, Fallout Season 2, Tournament of Champions: Christmas Edition, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Movie, Zootopia 2, and The Beatles Anthology Remastered, followed by What We Reading, What We Star Wars, and What We Marvel with Aliens vs. Avengers. On the gaming side, the episode dives into Meta Quest 3, Deadpool VR, Alien VR, Metroid Prime 4, Terminator 2: No Fate, Skate Story, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Dispatch, and Keeper, plus a full recap of The Game Awards 2025, including reveals like Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, Resident Evil: Requiem, and Tomb Raider Catalyst. George lets loose in George Hates Metal, targeting Abduction's Truth Is as Sharp a Sword as Vengeance (Existentialismus) and Orbis de Ignis' Golden Snake (Ancestral Strides), before the episode closes with What We Jammin.

In this episode of AwesomeCast 761, Michael Sorg is joined by Intern Mac and Intern Tony for a wildly geeky night of robots, AI, VR, and very silly holiday gifts. We kick things off with the new Robosen Shockwave Transformer robot, a $1,000 self-transforming Decepticon boombox that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, then fall down a rabbit hole of programmable Transformers, Buzz Lightyear, and WALL-E robots for STEM-minded kids. From there, Mac highlights Apple's latest Apple TV “liquid glass” intro, crafted with real glass panes and practical effects instead of AI – a hopeful sign for human artists in an AI-heavy world. Sorg shares what it's like living with an AI-generated news anchor on his Telly-style TV, including a bizarre “buff Judge Elvis” story that looks nothing like the real judge and points toward a future of AI hosts on gas-station and in-store TVs. The crew then revisits GameStop's “Trade Anything” day, reacting to reports of taxidermy, cans of beans, cursed plushies, and stressed-out employees caught between corporate hype and real-world chaos. On the gaming and VR side, we look at a mod project that brings classic shooters like Quake III, Doom 3, Redneck Rampage, and Quake 4 into standalone VR on Meta Quest headsets and reminisce about the clunky mall-VR rigs of the 1990s. Chachi's Video Game Minute covers the Helldivers movie, Netflix's proposed Warner Bros / WB Games deal, and rumored Japanese studios making design applicants draw by hand to avoid AI shortcuts – which leads into a deeper chat about Netflix potentially owning Mortal Kombat, Batman Arkham, DC Comics, and what that means for movies and games. Tony's Awesome Thing of the Week is pure chaos: the TikTok-viral “Butts on Things” activity books, puzzles, and Cheek-to-Cheek card game – proving once again that everyone finds butts funny and weird gifts win Christmas. We wrap with internship reflections, from Apple sock purses and new Apple gadgets to everything Mac and Tony have learned about podcast production, live streaming, editing, and social media on the Sorgatron Media shows. Stick around to the end for a tease of our Patreon-exclusive segment featuring the creepiest robot dogs you'll ever see.
