MyMac Podcast 963: Buggy Bugs

There’s quite a few bugs in Apple’s regular software. Actually more than a few and the GMen are going to talk about some of them this week. Not all of them because that might make the show just a tad too long, but enough to take the smirk of superiority off some Apple user’s faces. 

MyMac Podcast 962: Lack of Vision

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week or so, pre-orders for Apple’s Vision Pro started on Friday January 19th. Are you ready for all the hype and whining well too bad, it’s likely going to be all you hear in tech circles for the next month or two. We promise that THIS show will be the last you hear about it from us! Or maybe we’ll likely be gushing and or complaining about it too. Also, Guy says a dumb. See if you can guess where it happens.

MyMac Podcast 961: Hoping to see clearly

Guy hasn’t made a secret of his issues with having lost his right eye. While he’s made light of it, in every way it sucks. It puts him and others like him in a weird situation. They have a clearly defined affliction, but there’s little to no help for them. While it’s sure that people with worse sight issues would gladly trade places with those with mostly good vision in one eye, there’s more assistive technology for the blind or those with almost no vision than there there is for people with monocular vision. Everyone is different and their needs are very different, but can’t there be some help for them too?

MyMac Podcast 960: We don’t need no stinkin exploits

While we may not want them, we’ve had them in a long journey that no one saw coming except for the exploiters themselves. They even went to extraordinary lengths to hide what they were doing from everyone. If ever there was a time to patch ALL your Apple devices, it would be now.

MyMac Podcast 959: Sorting out Photos

Does Photos drive you crazy with all of it’s sometimes VERY annoying quirks? Do the GMen have any answers? We would like to think we do, but how does that usually end up?

MyMac Podcast 958: Happy Holidays

In what was supposed to be just a quick little,”Hey everyone! Have a great Holidays whatevers!” turns into a travelog and bit of weird and funny stories from the GMen. So of course it ends up being much longer than we thought it would be.
 

MyMac Podcast 957: Spyruses and Malspam

Still believe that your Mac can’t get infected by bad actors? Maybe you should take a minute and rethink that. ANY digital device can get infected by carefully crafted baddies and this week, we’ll give you a few tips to keep it from happening.

MyMac Podcast 956: Blech Friday

Sure there are deals both in-store and digitally, but since they started talking about Black Friday deals before Halloween, is anyone else tired of the hype? We sure are, so here’s a few relatively inexpensive things tech related you can buy that we like, and they’re probably not even on sale! But maybe they are.

MyMac Podcast 955: Coming up next

There is practically no real Apple things to talk about that we haven’t already covered to the point of a coma, so let’s jump in a different direction while still keeping it an Apple focus. What’s some of the new stuff coming up in the AppleTV service and what’s some of the returning stuff?
