The MacVoices Live! panel looks at who the reports of the M4 chip’s problems with virtualization affect and why. Microsoft is in the crosshairs of a new FTC look into Microsoft’s business practices, and Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby share some of their experiences with products that are the focus of the investigation. Then we transition into a discussion of Mobile Device Management by both Apple and Microsoft and what they mean if you are using a machine owned by your employer.

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby look at the unannounced feature that reboots iPhones after an extended period of inactivity, how they view it, and how law enforcement is seeing it. In the same vein, we look at what Apple is giving in the form of an also-unannounced improvement to their laptop screens, the new version of Final Cut, and new games for Apple Arcade. Apple is also taking away some features from and what Apple is taking away some legacy machines in terms of support and repair options. The panel digs through all of that and more.

The November 2024 MacVoices Update arrives a day late due to the holidays, and covers a variety of topics. Chuck talks about a new feature being tried out on the MacVoices web site, the many different ways to access the annual MacVoices Holiday Gift Guide picks, and an explanation of some schedule juggling. We wrap with a reminder about MacVoices Magazine, the Support Report, and why we structure the name recognition of our Patrons the way we do.
