We are sponsored this week by Tailscale. Tailscale is legitimately one of my favorite discoveries, if not my favorite discovery of 2024. Now, they've been around a lot longer than just this year, but I only really truly embraced Tailscale earlier this year. And really, truly, genuinely, it has made my computing life that much better. They can't pay me to say that, but it is absolutely true.

So what is Tailscale? Imagine if... you didn't have to care what network each of your devices was on, your home network, a work network, perhaps at Linode or DigitalOcean or something like that. You just wanted to make sure that you could always talk to all your other devices, irrespective of what network they're on, irrespective of what firewalls are between you and your other devices.

If that's something that sounds good, and it should, then you need TailScale. Tailscale is a super easy to deploy, zero configuration, no fuss VPN. VPN, you say, whoa, I don't know about that. Don't hang your hat on the VPN thing. It is a wire guard VPN under the hood, but Tailscale sprinkles all this incredible magic on top so that it just works perfectly.

You're going to do yourself a favor, and you're going to do me a favor, and you're going to go to tailscale.com slash ATP, T-A-I-L-S-C-A-L-E dot com slash ATP, and you're going to check it out, and you're going to try it, and you're going to install it on at least two devices, and then you're going to send me a tweet or whatever and say, holy cow, Casey, you were so right. This stuff is amazing.

Tailscale.com slash ATP. Thank you to Tailscale for sponsoring the show. All right. We have semi-breaking news. I think it was yesterday afternoon. iOS 18.2, Mac OS 15.2, Vision OS 2.2 all launched. And I was not on the beta train on anything for the .2 releases.

And I have been very excited to try the .2 releases, the 15.2 and VisionOS 2.2 releases, macOS 15.2 and VisionOS 2.2, because this gives us the new fancy Mac virtual display. So if you are not caught up...

The way it worked up until literally yesterday as we record this is that if you wanted to kind of suck your Mac into the Vision OS world, you could use either the Vision OS Control Center or if you have a laptop, you can just look at your laptop and a little button will appear over it. This is when you have your Vision Pro on. A little button will appear over your laptop that says Connect.

And then it'll, whatever, you know, laptop or even desktop, if you go in through Vision OS's Control Center, whatever computer you're bringing into the Vision OS, you get a 4K display in Vision OS. And you can resize that display insofar as you can make it the equivalent of 10 feet in front of your face, but it's still only ever 4K. And I've used this a handful of times.
