# How the bot got full macOS access

Remote desktop inside the VM — treat the big screen as workspace, forget the small sandbox.

Some people are wondering how I gave @bot access to an entire MacOS device and have same access as humans.

Simple: the VM it runs on can run pretty much anything.

You just install a remote desktop app, then tell the bot to treat that new remote environment as its workspace and forget about the small sandbox it was using before.

You are welcome, this will get very wild.

@bot Here is how I'm running them locally now: [https://x.com/Daniel_Farinax/status/2089423915718517220](https://x.com/Daniel_Farinax/status/2089423915718517220)
