This month Bart is joined by returning guest and photographer Jeff Curto. This is another instalment in the series-within-a-series where Bart invites photographers he respects to evangelise photographers they respect. The sky is the limit, guests can choose any photographer who's been active at any time between the invention of photography and the present day. Jeff chose to share his love for Olivia Parker's work, a photographer who has been active since the 1970s, and is still active today. You can see her work at http://www.oliviaparker.com.

Tim has a COVID test, David buys an M1 Mac, and we look at the response to the Apple event, iPhone 12 Pro MAX, and much more.

In the same week as the announcement of M1-based Macs, Big Sur has also been released for the general public and it goes to 11! Well the new MacOS version does anyway and with that update comes general compatibility issues and major questions about if the M1 processor is all that and a bag of crisps (or chips depending on where you’re listening to this).

While usually avoiding politics, Tim and David spend the first ten minutes talking about just that. Then on to the Mandalorian takes center stage, the newest Star Trek Discovery season, and Bruce Willis.

Sigh…sure there just HAD to be another event this year to announce the new Apple Silicon-based Macs. Why? Because obviously they didn’t already have their plans made or designs locked down before LAST month’s only 1 hour pre-recorded event. No video last week because eCamm’s Call Recorder (which is getting harder and harder to use) can’t handle more than one person at a time.

Joining Bart this month are Mikah Sargent from the Clockwise podcast and TWiT network, and SimonParnell from the Essential Apple Podcast. The show starts with a few followup stories, updates on some Apple-related legal cases, one acquisition, and a quick(ish) overview of news related to Apple's original content. The three main stories are Apple's Q4 2020 earnings call, the on-going anti-trust kerfuffle, and Apple's 'Hi, Speed' event. The show ends with a quick rundown of some smaller Apple-related stories that made the news in October. Detailed show notes are available at https://lets-talk.ie/lta86.

Reviews of Xbox Series X without turning it on? Google kills yet another product with the Nest Secure. Apple’s iPhone 12 and MagSafe opinion and the stupid decision not to include a power adapter for the most transparent of reasons. David and Tim wrap up by discussing Printers and how crappy they are.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who use HomeKit and those that just don’t understand it…like the GMen for example. Pssst! They’re in the “don’t understand it” camp. Fortunately Karl Madden from the Mac and Forth Podcast is here to explain so that even Guy MIGHT understand it…maybe.

My oh my how that little streaming serviced that a lot of people ragged on for not enough content (the GMen included) has grown up. After testing the waters with a big exclusive with Tom Hanks Greyhound World War 2 adventure, Apple and Netflix are rumored to be in the running for the latest (and reportedly last one with Daniel Craig) oft-delayed James Bond flick “No Time to Die”. Big news for sure, but is there more to it?

iPhone 12 arrives, and then Tim and David spend almost the entire episode arguing. Seriously, it’s almost a brawl! And Spider-Man, of all things, is at the heart of it.

This month's show is best described as an un-expected part two for last month's show. Bart shares some thoughts on finding inspiration in the ordinary things around us as we continue to face COVID-induced restrictions and confinement. It is possible to find great photographic opportunities in the most mundane places if you can find a different way of looking a things.

iPhone 12 announced, and who between Tim and David are getting two of them? Plus the Tempest Replicade, boring cell phones, 5G fallacies, and much more.

Not a single iPod sock or HiFi (sort of) was announced at the Apple Event much to Guy’s disappointment. However there was some more expected products to come to light, mainly the iPhone 12 in its various iterations and while the product wasn’t that surprising, the $99 price tag mostly was for the HomePod Mini

We break stuff then try to fix it so you don’t have to because we’re just nice that way. Thinking about syncing is our focus for episode 342 of Geekiest Show Ever. Data loss can become a real problem in the pandemic era of working and learning from home. Melissa shares some concerns and strategies for preventing data loss before it occurs by keeping track of syncing services and testing them out periodically. Elisa wants to learn how to create an additional shared vault in 1Password. Detailed show notes are here at https://www.geekiestshowever.com/gse342-syncing-snafus iOS Reminders PSA: Be aware of your settings when working with third-party apps that can be set to sync with iOS Reminders because you could inadvertently delete them never to be restored again. Apple’s support article: Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using iCloud.com says, “You can restore your calendars and events together with your reminders and reminder lists from an earlier version that was automatically archived in iCloud

ANOTHER Apple Event scheduled for next week. Most people thinks it’s for the iPhone 12, but Guy has a sneaking suspicion it’s for a new iPod HiFi and updated iPod Socks. Also best wishes to all the friends and family of Eddie Van Halen who sadly passed away from cancer last week.

Joining Bart this month are Charlotte Henry; Kelly Guimont from the Mac Observer, and Nick Riley from the Essential Apple Podcast. The show starts with a few followup stories (including the virus-shaped elephant in every room these days), some hires and acquisitions, and a quick overview of news related to Apple's original content. The three main stories are more App-Store-related developments, Apple's 'Time Flies' event, and the release of iOS 14, watchOS 7, etc.. The show ends with a quick rundown of some smaller Apple-related stories that made the news in September. Detailed show notes are available at https://lets-talk.ie/lta85.

Jamie Fox as Electro Returns, Avatar, James Cameron, The Mandolorian, and Tim gets a new floor!

This weeks Apple stories got juicier as the week went by, but the real issue this week is what on earth is Gaz going to do with a dead mans Mac. Also Epic vs Apple is back in the news and the GMen give a bit a talk-about it.
