October 21, 2021 00:27 - 1 hour - 113 MBWhy is there an Apple event scheduled for a Monday? Has the very course of time and space been altered in such a way was to warp the very fabric of reality and Kleenex tissues? No, I think it’s Tim Cook just having a laugh.

MyMac Podcast 868: Data Dumped
October 15, 2021 00:33 - 42 minutes - 78.7 MBA data dump usually means a massive transfer from one place to another. In this case it meant a dying enclosure and two failed hard drives. A bit of bad luck for Guy turns into a teachable moment For Pick’s Sake Guy:- Terramaster D4-300 USB 3.1 type C four bay external enclousure. It’s been rock solid so far and much quieter than the enclosure I had before that died.

MyMac Podcast 867: So we‘re back
October 05, 2021 01:05 - 1 hour - 129 MBBelieve it or not, we had sort of intended to do a show from Macstock or nearby at least, but circumstanced deemed otherwise.Some virtual (but very real) technical issues, audio feedback, and the fact that Guy took a laptop running a Mojave beta (so no Rogue Amoeba apps could be run) meant that frankly it was just impossible. It also didn’t matter how many microphones Guy took with him (over 10) no matter what he thought at the time he was gathering them. Contact / Follow Us: (NEW!) podcas...

September 12, 2021 16:05 - 1 hour - 119 MBNo matter what some may say, there is no such thing as good or bad news, there’s just news. However the LACK of news lately has been Maddening (pun intended), so the announcement of an event on Tuesday, September 14th fills our hearts with glee, sunshine and rainbows, THAT IS good news! Links Guy:- Two picks. The Inn at Leona is a fabulous place to stay with a wonderful staff and so much ambiance you could choke on it. Reasonably priced rooms too.

August 29, 2021 13:05 - 51 minutes - 95.1 MBRemember when simplicity was actually almost built-in to Apple products? When presenters would stand on stage and say “All you need to do is push this button and we’ll do all the heavy lifting.” Those days? LONG gone.

MyMac Podcast 862: Golden Age of Apps
August 22, 2021 06:39 - 1 hour - 111 MBRecent experiments by Guy has made him start to think. A dangerous precedent that you would believe the world would want to avoid, but they did it anyway. Is the current crop of emulation of not just X86 coded apps, but iOS and iPadOS apps a look into the future? Are we getting closer to that time when what OS you’re running is irrelevant? That’s the subject for the next section anyway.
Mac to the Future GO Livecast 193: Photo Finish
August 17, 2021 01:17 - 41 minutes - 75.4 MBApple says their photo checking is completely harmless, above board, and can't be modified into anything else...hmmm. Want a TouchID Keyboard? Apple will sell you one for a not suprising big amount of money. Jennifer Lawrence's superpower MAY be her ability to wrestle a large amount of cash from Apple or Netflix.
Mac to the Future GO Livecast 191: Sure, let's go with that

MyMac Podcast 861: NOW we’re getting somewhere
August 17, 2021 01:08 - 48 minutes - 89.6 MBThat pesky Apple Car just won’t go away! Just when you thought it was safe to start looking at what analysts say again, this crops up once again proving the old saying…”Analysts are idiots who will say anything to get you to part ways with your money in the direction they’re being paid to tell you to spend it at.”. OK, the saying might not be old, in fact we may have made it up here on the spot, but it it doesn’t make it any less true.
MyMac Podcast 860: Your stuff is our stuff
August 17, 2021 01:06 - 1 hour - 129 MBBIG thanks to Karl Madden from the Mac and Forth podcast for stepping in and keeping Guy sane…company while Gaz was away. Apple is the company that gives and then takes away. Announcements have been made that they are going to start scanning users Photos library to help stop underage exploitation and while that is a lofty goal, what does it mean in regards to user’s privacy that Apple has touted in their press clippings?
MyMac Podcast 859: What’s Karl got going on?
August 17, 2021 01:05 - 1 hour - 115 MBGaz is off doing all things Gaz this week so Karl Madden of the Mac and Forth Podcast graciously allowed himself to be blackmailed into being on. For fulfilling his end of the deal, those pictures will never be released to the general public. They go into their recording setup and gear because there’s not really all that much else going on and Guy LOVES talking about that stuff.
MyMac Podcast 858: So, what's left
July 30, 2021 10:17 - 1 hour - 114 MBWith fall about to drop in about a month, a lot people begin to focus of new iPhones. However with the transition away from Intel for the Macs, it has been a very chaotic kind of year not even including a global pandemic. The M1 Macs have been pretty good, but there’s lots of room for improvement with the Macs that haven’t gotten out of the labs yet.

MyMac Podcast 857: Monterey Musings (part 2)
July 12, 2021 10:42 - 1 hour - 116 MBWe talked about some of the new features coming up for macOS Monterey last week and said we'd talk some more about it this week...which is what we're going to do. So that shouldn't be all that surprising. Links: Security The good old Shure SM7B which is a dynamic microphone that requires OODLES of gain.

July 05, 2021 11:56 - 1 hour - 130 MBThe first public beta for macOS Monterey is now out and SO many people are talking about, so we thought we might too! Because we’re all about getting out the information our listeners demand! Oooor…we just like jumping on any bandwagon that we can. There’ll be more on this next week for the bits we didn’t get to this time.

July 01, 2021 11:11 - 34 minutes - 64.1 MBApple spins its way (oh so quietly) onto someone else’s remote. Apple’s own remote is updated with the AppleTV that’ll cost you around a lot. Windows 11 may be coming virtually to your M1 Monterrey Mac…eventually. iOS and iPadOS Public Betas are out! Should you dive headfirst or let others take that chance?
MyMac Podcast 855: Monopoly
July 01, 2021 11:09 - 1 hour - 135 MBLots of talk from Capital Hill in regards to those naughty big tech companies. Congress wants them to play by the same rules as the average person as if the average person could create a big tech company…or that they could either. Oddly enough, Apple is probably in less of a fix as the other four, by these bills definition.
Guy's Daily Drive 6-28-2021
July 01, 2021 11:08 - 15 minutes - 27.6 MBA little bit more about Peter's move, Beatles are raining, DaVinci isn't always a smart move, and just more stuff!

MyMac Podcast 854: No Place like Home(Kit)
June 25, 2021 07:34 - 54 minutes - 99.8 MBThere are several standards in regards to home automation. Reaching back into the Jurassic age there was X-10 which made it possible to connect several devices to a home security monitored (by someone else) system. However it wasn’t very interactive once set up. Coming into the modern age besides Apple’s Homekit there’s Belkin’s Wemo (now discontinued), SmartThings, Ankuoo, D-Link, and TP-Link amongst others.
MyMac Podcast 853: Dun Dun DUUUUUUUN!
June 18, 2021 14:17 - 1 hour - 138 MBDub-dub is now fading away but all the great stuff they revealed is open for review! Like…that thing…where they…did, stuff?
Mac to the Future GO Livecast 189:iPhonies
June 18, 2021 14:15 - 41 minutes - 76.8 MBOnly crooks have iMacs…I mean there’s a chance your iMac is crooked and there’s no way to put a positive spin on that. It shouldn’t be a great surprise that Tim Cook doesn’t want side loading apps for iOS and iPadOS and it has nothing to do with how much money Apple makes from the App Store. A Democrat from Rhode Island wants to force Apple and others to divest themselves of their App Development teams.

MyMac Podcast 852: The Randoms
June 13, 2021 07:40 - 1 hour - 121 MBGuy has returned from Walton country ablaze with success after bagging multiple Mooses…meece, mice? LOT’S of plural Moose. So no matter what he says after this, he’s obviously lying. WWDC 21 starts on Monday which is probably when most people will hear this podcast. So there’s no real point in speculating much about what it’ll all be about. So a few randoms things will be thrown in instead.

MyMac Podcast 850: WWDC Ready
June 09, 2021 08:22 - 1 hour - 121 MBWe are about 2 weeks away from WWDC 2021 and expectations are high! As in, anyone making predictions and claiming to have any accuracy is probably on illegal medication. That won’t stop the GMen from making predictions though because they’re naturally high…on LIFE!
Mac to the Future 188: Phone HomeOS
June 09, 2021 03:20 - 34 minutes - 62.5 MBYeah we like it when companies make things simple, but changing TVOS to HomeOS? Original HomePods are sold out in Apple Stores but still available online for as long as (lolz) supplies last. Rumors of a new iPod touch are surfacing, though no one can explain why. Batteries dying in those old moldy AirPods? Good News! AirPods 3 is likely, probably, but not for certain on the way! Speaking of uncertainty, did you get an M1 Mac mini? Not to worry! There might be an M2 Mac mini on the way and an...
Mac to the Future GO! 187: The M1 is compromised, but no one cares
June 09, 2021 00:17 - 41 minutes - 75.8 MBSure we want reviews, and positive reviews even more, but to force users to leave one BEFORE you can even use the app? Cheap deals for M1 Mac Minis are out there, maybe a new model coming? WWDC is scheduled to start June 7th. Besides new looks in your favorite operating systems, what else might Apple be announcing? There are reports that there’s an unfixable flaw in the M1 processor, but that it really doesn’t matter except to alarmist tech blogs. Guy Serle Email: [email protected] Twitter: Mac...
MyMac Podcast 849: Missed it by THAT much
June 08, 2021 19:04 - 1 hour - 134 MBAccording to some, Apple and Google’s market dominance in Smartphone operating systems is stifling competition. While some of their points are valid, they also are ignoring the consequences of opening the ecosystems to everyone.
