Mymac Podcasting Network - All Shows Channel

Tim is using a retro battle station for the show this week, and David has joined the dark side of social media. Our lockdown activities also get discussed in detail.

Power outages, Marvel movies, Artemis Fowl , and the problem with the Jurassic Park and DC franchises

Just about one week away until we find out if all the analysts were right and Guy was wrong about the Mac going to ARM at the virtual WWDC. Put your money on the analysts.

Monday is that thing we’ve all been waiting for and talking about non-stop until we’re sick of it! Except NOW Apple said something to hack off all the free app developers out there…or something. Hard to tell what to to be outraged about this week. Simon Parnell answered our Saturn Moon Titan question from last week and the answer is, 14,630.4 years for that moon to be 1 mile further in orbit. A nice fresh custom made WOOTie was sent.

Yet ANOTHER week mostly stuck at home and like all good vampires, we’re becoming allergic to sunlight, mirrors, and garlic…maybe not garlic. Guy bought an old Dell Windows PC (from 2013 no less) and he'shaving a lot of fun finding out just how slow what a fast computer can be. Trying to play 10+ year old games on a 7+ year old computer. JOY! Some serious (somewhat) talk about monopolies too.

More on Infinity Photo, a picture that can brick your Android phone, Apple CarPlay, UFO footage, and the Sega Game Gear Micro

Elisa and Suzé try to put into words their feelings about recent events in the Black community. We struggled, knowing as White women we will never truly understand what our Black citizens go through on a daily basis. We explain why Vicki didn’t join the discussion. Please, please check out the show notes at www.threegeekyladies.com for important resources to help better understand the issue, and what we can do to help.

Joining Bart this month are Kelly Guimont from The Mac Observer, and Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast. The show starts with a few followup stories (including the virus-shaped elephant in every room these days), one notable number, a few quick legal stories, a few Apple staffing changes and acquisitions, and a quick overview of news related to Apple's original content. The four main stories are the launch of Apple & Google's Exposure Notification API, the George Floyd protests affect on Apple, the US government's latest attack on Apple over encryption, and the Unc0ver Jailbreak. The show ends with a quick rundown of some smaller Apple-related stories that made the news in May. Detailed show notes are available at https://lets-talk.ie/lta81.

So no video last week because stuff was broken…for once not by Guy or because of Guy, or due to Guy doing something wrong. There’s a first for everything. One benefit of using Apple products is that they last typically a very long time. Can you use older Mac and Apple gear and still do the latest stuff? Also we interrupt the show to watch a rocket take off.

Tim and David discus bad sales, replacing Dell laptops with Microsoft Managed Desktop Service, Raspberry Pi 4, update on the Toyota grill, Mattel Aquarius, ZX Spectrum, and more.

Last episode we discussed what makes a great design and what we liked most or felt was life-changing. This time, we're flipping it to talk about the Terrible Product Designs We Love to Hate. How could these product designs be improved to make the world a happier place? Dealing with waste and bad design takes some thinking outside the box.

A little about theme music, Hertz rental cars, Joe Rogan, Howard Stern, Pixelmator, affinity Photo, external SSD as a boot drive, and much more.

Some stuff in the works? Other stuff on hold? Do we really know for sure? ABSOLUTELY NOT! But we’ll spend a lot of time talking about it anyway! Lastly, there is FINALLY a really good reason why no one will put Guy in charge of the world….and it involves ducks.

In this solo show Bart describes the so-called 'Rule of Thirds', and then teases apart what it's good for, and more importantly, what it's not good for. He argues in favour of its use as a tool in your proverbial tool box, but that you should be careful never let it constrain your creativity.

Gaz and Guy take social distancing to the EXTREME by talking thousands of miles away from each other but do admit they don’t wear masks while podcasting. Also, why is it that the winners of these class action lawsuits seem to be mostly lawyers?

Light Bulbs, custom grill, John Wick, the Matrix, Harry Turtledove’s Worldwar and Colonization series, self publishing, and second-hand book stores are all topics covered by Tim and David

The Ladies welcome Victor Cajiao. Victor shares how he uses technology while he and his wife travel the country in their Airstream camper. He also talks about recent purchases, and offers a tip about Apple IDs and Apple Card.

What is a product or service you believe is so well-designed that it makes life easier to navigate? We share our gratitude for design by discussing our top-of-the-list, favorite products inspired by an article Elisa found in Fortune Magazine The 100 Greatest Designs of Modern Times.

So the MyMac Podcast has been around for 800 shows. If you count the mini shows and one offs, it’s really been way more than that, but let’s just deal with 800 official MyMac Podcasts. So our official position is, let me know when we hit 1000. Also, we just passed the 84th anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster.

Tim's iMac died, so he and David discuss for hours on end.
