I discovered that my DIY Fusion Drive wasn’t supported any more and it was the reason for several failed Sequoia installs, so I needed to split the drives via terminal. Just make sure to have an external keyboard and mouse for the initial install if it’s a 2008/9 generation MacBook.

OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It downloads MacOS installers, patches them and creates bootable installer disks. From then onwards system updates function as expected. I’ve used it on many old Macs to great success for years. Could have upgraded as far as Sequoia. dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Leg...

Functional although slow for anything too heavy.

Quick benchmark:
Photos takes 3 to 5 bounces to launch
Calendar 3 bounces.
Music 12 bounces.

I’d be curious to see how a preference for frame interpolation could smooth the typical key frame heavy QTVR with added in-between frames. It could enhance the ease in and out effect.

As much as I’d never use motion smoothing on my TV, this might be the best use case ever! Cool project Dustin.

It is magical, it might even change how you think about taking photos.

You’re gonna love it! I was blew away by Spacial Photos in Vision Pro too, just seeing my photo library come to life. Best photo feature since Live Photos.

The new Spacial Scene feature in iOS 26 Photos is incredible. I long hoped for a method to display 3D photos using the iPhone gyroscope just like this! #wwdc

Transparent labels have arrived and are applied. I also added a couple of extra bits. 😍

There's no way this printer design is coincidental.

When in full screen mode, the area at the top of the screen continues to be reserved for the menu bar which completely fades to Black. This mode provides no additional usable vertical screen real estate.
