    The visionOS 2 beta enables web-based VR.

    Previously an experimental feature, WebXR support is on by default for Vision Pro beta testers, RoadtoVR wrote last week. The open standard allows for VR and AR experiences on the web, such as those listed on this GitHub page.

    However, the outlet writes that AR experiences do not seem to work quite yet, limiting it to fully-VR ones for now.

    “Hello, computer.”

    As seen in MacRumors, iOS 18 beta testers can set a new Siri wake word using Vocal Shortcuts, a new accessibility feature. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Vocal Shortcuts > Set Up Vocal Shortcuts, then find and tap “Siri” to try it.

    It won’t work with HomePods. And your iPhone won’t acknowledge it unless you pause after saying the word. That’s good; otherwise, you learn just how frequently you say a word like “computer.”

    Perfect timing.

    NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, who’s been on the International Space Station since March, seems to enjoy sharing his camera settings. For the picture of the Boeing Starliner below, he followed up:

    Cybertrucks might have another issue.

    Posts on the Cybertruck Owners Forum, Reddit, and on X say that Tesla has notified them their Cybertruck deliveries are being pushed back. Some say they were told it was a wiper blade issue, while others say they weren’t given a reason.

    The reports come just two months after the company recalled all Cybertrucks over stuck accelerator pedals. Tesla didn’t immediately respond to our request for comment.

    Whosoever holds this hammer lock, if they be worthy, shall possess the power tools of Thor.

    I think most people will be worthy, considering how easy it is to unlock this lock shaped like the MCU version of Thor’s hammer.

    Truth be told, I’d still find something to use it for.

    Who says Macs aren’t for gaming?

    Apple’s long-included macOS Chess game has a new look in the first macOS Sequoia beta.

    Shiny as it is, it’s missing things like the “Grass” board and the style picker for the pieces, 9to5Mac writes. Here’s the current version (using “Fur” pieces on the Grass board, of course) compared to a screenshot posted to Reddit of its coming replacement.

    The current version with a grass board (top) versus the new version, which has shinier pieces that are reflected in the now-glossy board (bottom).
    Without a grass board and silly fur-covered pieces, is it even still Chess.app?
