FYI #Windows users _this_ is the correct Aerial screensaver and Application/Configuration UI for Windows if you want to bring Aerial magic from tvOS to your Wintendo.

I use the Aerial for macOS on all my macs and obviously all the AppleTVs. my preferred scene is Underwater and I love watching reefs and fish and kelp and jellies more than just about anything. If they add some african rift lake cichilds I'm done for.

The origin of the 3D pipes screen saver in windows...

they requested 3d options and the devs provided several options do demonstrate 3d as a screen saver & put it to a vote on what to include.

So the devs gave them 3D Text, 3D Maze, 3D Flying Objects, and, 3D Pipes

The market droids saw this and just replied “You can call off the vote. We’re adding all of them to the product!”

YouTube has this new screensaver mode that dropped today for me where it shows a thumbnail of some theme like, “Acrylic Pouring Techniques” or “New York City Drone” and UI encouraging you to “press up to play”. It’s slightly annoying because it now overrides the art screensaver that I set up as my default Apple TV screensaver.

Pressing up plays a video associated with the listed theme. I wonder how much the video creators got paid for this? 🤔 #YouTube #weird #screensaver

New v1.2 version of MandelSaver now available for your pixel-saving pleasure.
All thx to @luchak for finding creative ways to not only speed up the rendering process, but also (my fav feature) auto-selecting "interesting" random views *before* displaying them! 👏
