Ever want you had a large display on your gaming session or work challenge? When you’ve got a Meta Quest headset, you are in luck — now you can join it to just about any system.
Meta’s new app for the Quest headset, HDMI Hyperlink, turns your headset into a large display for any HDMI output-compatible system, together with media gamers, sport consoles just like the Nintendo Change or PS5, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and extra.
The excellent news for older headset customers is that this app works on the Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, and Professional.
With HDMI Hyperlink, Meta says, you possibly can get pleasure from an enormous number of 2D content material in a 3D area in 1080p with virtually no latency. Nonetheless, it won’t work for films or exhibits.

In 2021, Meta launched a considerably related characteristic known as Air Hyperlink, which lets you join your Meta Quest wirelessly to your PC to play PC VR video games in your Quest. That characteristic solely works on PCs, although, and requires dependable Wi-Fi. This new characteristic works wirelessly however is open to all HDMI units, not simply computer systems.
There may be one small caveat. HDMI Hyperlink wants a little bit further {hardware} — a UVC- and UAC-compatible seize card and cables. Meta says that is “principally plug-and-play” however provides that it isn’t fairly as simple as Air Hyperlink. A fast search on-line exhibits a number of first rate choices for suitable playing cards underneath $30, so it is a comparatively inexpensive funding.
Tomatoes have at all times been central to good diet, nice delicacies, and at instances spirited debates over learn how to classify one in all nature’s most utilitarian wonders.
Years in the past, British journalist Miles Kington settled that query. “Information is understanding {that a} tomato is a fruit,” he wrote. “Knowledge shouldn’t be placing it in a fruit salad.” We’re nonetheless studying from tomatoes, and about them. A major instance is a examinefrom a analysis workforce on the College of Barcelona that exhibits natural tomatoes are far more healthy than conventionally-grown varieties. The obvious motive: They’ve earned their nutrient-rich profiles the old style approach, within the day by day battle to outlive.
John Gulius, South Carolina’slandscaping and gardening professional, has lengthy recognized this about natural tomatoes. As he explains it, typical farming strategies have basically made fashionable tomatoes fats and lazy. Natural farming leads to a hardier tomato, a plant that depends on its pure defenses to thrive. Defensive compounds like polyphenols make the natural tomato a lot richer in vitamins than its chemical-fed cousins.
“It’s all about how onerous it’s for a plant to entry nitrogen,” he says. “With typical farming practices, particularly on farms owned by big agribusinesses, vegetation are regularly doused with nitrogen within the type of synthetic fertilizer. Natural farmers don’t layer their crops with synthetic compounds, and so the quantity of nitrogen is much less. This in flip triggers a pure protection reflex in vegetation which boosts ranges of vitamins, minerals and secondary metabolites. That’s not solely nice for the plant, however splendidly wholesome for these of us on the high of the meals chain.”
From his base in Greenville, John Gulius operates Carolina Turf Options, an organization that, in response to its web site, makes use of a “holistic method that integrates superior information, sustainable practices, and customized care to cater to the distinctive wants of every panorama.”
He believes a landscaper have to be an environmental steward, knowledgeable who understands what kinds of vitamins particular vegetation want, and during which proportion. With this data, Gulius is ready to make use of plant-based fertilizers in lots of conditions. He’s realized that by utilizing cowl crops, it’s doable to feed the expansion of vegetation with out constructing extra quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus within the soil.
Reporting on the Barcelona examine, Science Day by day reviewed the advantages of natural cultivation, which builds the character of the younger inexperienced orbs as they redden on the vine: “Natural tomatoes comprise increased ranges of phenolic compounds than typical tomatoes. Phenolic compounds are natural molecules discovered in lots of greens with confirmed human well being advantages. Polyphenols — pure antioxidants of plant origin — are thought-about to be of nice dietary curiosity as a result of its consumption is related to decreased danger of cardiovascular and degenerative ailments, and a few types of most cancers.”
College of Barcelona researcher Rosa M. Lamuela informed the publication: “The advantage of taking polyphenols by means of meals is that they comprise all kinds of such molecules, that are elevated. This might be extra useful to well being than the consumption of dietary supplements. Tomatoes additionally comprise lycopene and different carotenoids, and vitamin C.”
The College of Barcelona workforce discovered that these dramatic dietary variations are additionally obvious in tomato juice and ketchup. Whether or not in a consuming glass or condiment bottle, tossed in a salad or stewed in marinara sauce, the natural selection is richer, more healthy and extra flavorful — a tomato true to nature, and pleased with its roots.
Including customized values to SwiftUI’s atmosphere has by no means been very exhausting to do to. Nonetheless, the syntax for doing it’s verbose and simple to neglect. To refresh your thoughts, check out this publish the place I clarify the best way to add your personal atmosphere values to a SwiftUI view.
To summarize what’s proven in that publish; right here’s the way you add a customized worth to the atmosphere utilizing Xcode 15 and earlier:
non-public struct DateFormatterKey: EnvironmentKey {
static let defaultValue: DateFormatter = {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
formatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"
return formatter
}()
}
extension EnvironmentValues {
var dateFormatter: DateFormatter {
get { self[DateFormatterKey.self] }
set { self[DateFormatterKey.self] = newValue }
}
}
We’ve got to outline an atmosphere key, outline a default worth, and write a getter and setter to retrieve our worth from the atmosphere utilizing our key.
That is repetitive, simple to neglect, and simply annoying to do.
In the event you favor studying thorugh video, here is the video to look at:
Fortunately, in Xcode 16 now we have entry to the @Entry macro. This macro permits us to outline the very same atmosphere key like this:
I completely love this new syntax as a result of it removes all of the boilerplate in a single go.
And the perfect a part of this macro?
We are able to use it in initiatives that focus on iOS variations older than 18! In order quickly as you begin growing your undertaking with Xcode 16 you’ll be capable to use this macro no matter your deployment goal.

New Macs
With the replace for the Mac Professional at WWDC in June 2023 Apple completed transitioning all its Macs from Intel processors to its personal silicon. Apple launched the M3, M3 Professional and M3 Max chips on the finish of October 2023, so we are able to count on the next updates quickly:
Mac mini & Mac mini Professional
Now that the iMac has an M3 chip, and the MacBook Professional an M3, M3 Professional and M3 Max chip, the arrival of these chips within the Max mini is lengthy over due. Besides that the rumors point out that the Mac mini replace goes to characteristic an M4 chip, and we might even see it earlier than the tip of 2024. Nonetheless, there are additionally rumors that the Mac mini is getting a brand new, smaller design, through which case the wait might be slightly longer.
The subsequent on the listing for replace would be the Mac Studio, additionally more likely to bypass the M3 and soar straight to the M3 Max and M3 Extremely.
There’s a new iMac with M3 chip, but it surely’s nonetheless obtained a 24-inch display screen. What individuals need is a return of a extra skilled iMac with a much bigger display screen.
Apple is alleged to be engaged on a Professional model of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Professional maybe. It appears like an M4 Professional iMac would possibly occur, however we might be ready slightly longer for that one.
No iPads had been up to date in 2023 – the primary time a yr handed with out an iPad replace. There was one iPad that wasn’t even up to date in 2022—the iPad mini—so that appears the most definitely for an imminent replace. However the entire vary might be headed for a refresh this yr, and that course of began on Might 7, after we obtained new Airs and Professionals.
iPad mini
A brand new iPad mini (seventh technology) might be coming quickly.
The most recent customary iPad joined the lineup as way back as October 2022 so a brand new mannequin may be anticipated in 2024. Word that the Ninth-gen mannequin was retired on Might 7, with the Tenth-gen mannequin remaining on sale at a lower cost.

This isn’t the primary we’ve heard of a much bigger model of the iPhone SE. The query is, will it nonetheless characteristic the Residence button? Learn concerning the iPhone SE Plus.

A 3rd-gen Apple Watch SE can also be doable with display screen dimension adjustments too.
If Apple was by no means to innovate away from the merchandise it makes proper now it might be left behind as know-how progresses. It’s no shock due to this fact that the corporate is engaged on varied new areas. We don’t count on these to land in 2023, however rumors counsel that a few of them nonetheless might arrive sooner moderately than later.
HomePod with display screen
We do hope there’s some fact within the rumors that Apple is engaged on a HomePod with a display screen. We’ve at all times mentioned {that a} display screen would make the HomePod infinitely extra usable, however maybe we’re the one ones who hate having to speak to our speaker and management the HomePod by way of an iPhone (which generally is a drain on the battery).
A display screen would lengthen the makes use of of the HomePod past audio into visible – so you may watch podcasts and information reviews and YouTube movies, however most usefully talk by way of FaceTime.
Up to now all Apple has accomplished is introduced again the full-size HomePod that it faraway from sale.
