How to cast Meta Quest 3 to a TV

Before beginning the casting process, be sure you've downloaded the Meta Quest app to your phone and are logged in to your Meta account. You'll also need to ensure that your Quest 3, phone, and television are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network or you'll be unable to cast to those additional devices. When you're all set, proceed with the below instructions to begin casting your Quest 3 to a television.

Step 1: Turn on your Quest 3 and wait for it to load the main menu.

Step 2: When you reach the main menu, select Camera from the bar at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Select Cast from this next menu.

Step 4: Next, you'll see a list of devices show up. Choose the television (or Chromecast) you want to cast to and wait a moment for it to begin. If you don't see your television on the list, that means either it isn't compatible or it isn't connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Having followed these steps, you should notice that the television you've chosen will now display what you're seeing within the headset so that others can watch alongside you. Just be aware that personal content could be shown during this process, so be mindful of any private information you may not want anyone to see.

Step 5: To stop casting, just go back into the Camera menu, select Cast again, and finally, Stop casting.

When Apple unveiled its new touchscreen MacBook Pro, I was intrigued. Apple's response to people asking for a touchscreen-enabled MacBook used to be that macOS was never built to support touch interface.

I've used plenty of touchscreen Windows laptops over the years, but I didn't expect to pay nearly $3,000 for Apple's own take on such a notebook. Then I came across a video from developer @pikacodes on X, and suddenly, I could see a genuinely compelling reason for the upgrade.

Apple’s most powerful Mac ever is finally here, and your wallet might want to sit down for this one.
2025 Mac Studio

When Apple launched the M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studio in August, it quietly mentioned that one configuration would arrive later. Apple listed 512GB of RAM as an option, but you couldn’t actually buy it. That changes today, as Apple has opened pre-orders for the fully loaded M5 Ultra Mac Studio, which might just be the most powerful Mac ever made.

How much does the maxed-out Mac Studio cost?
