MyMac.com Podcast

Other than lot’s of political wailing about one thing or another there’s not much to talk about this week, but we’ll manage. Some cool Sci-Fi is coming to the small screen. Also Guy got a new chair so no more squeaks and a new microphone so lot's more beeps

A mandatory Android and iOS app for all Olympic athletes and visitors for the 2022 Winters games allegedly can listen in with no prompting from the user. However it makes up for this by storing and sending personal information like GPS data, any medical history, contact information, and so on to unknown servers unencrypted. So it’s got that going for it.

connectivity and low power wireless standards all jumbled together to make an internet of things word salad less confusing. As an added bonus, even stuff not designed to work together should if the proper protocols are followed. Get it? Well we're not sure either, but the GMen will bumble and stumble their way to a greater understanding and we're taking you along for the ride! Also don't forget we need you to insult us in the worst way for our upcoming 600th episode and that's no sausage!

600th podcast is coming up so you need to write or record the most insulting (but keep it clean) you can say about the GMen to possibly win a fabulous prize! Would love to tell you what it will be but we not real sure yet.

CES 2022 is over and apparently wasn’t as huge as it’s been in years past. Obviously the never ending-demic is the culprit, but there were still some cool things released for Apple related products and the GMen will discuss that with absolutely no expertise at all! Also spoiler alert if you haven't seen the new James Bond flick, don't listen to the after show. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

A quiet year in general since most people were discouraged from going anywhere and Apple wasn’t immune either. So let's take a walk down memory lane at the world of Apple in the year 2021. Also more phone calls!

Gaz and Guy are going to share with you their opinions of some of the new features built into the latest versions of iOS and MacOS. Some of those opinions like those features will likely stink. Also, remember Guy complaining that no one was using the Skype call number? People did and Guy didn’t know because sometimes he’s dumb.

Yeah we know Apple is coming out with new Macs all sporting the latest M-designed chips, but what will they call them? So far there hasn’t been much in the way of originality when it comes to naming conventions for Apple devices (Air and Pro being the most innovative sheesh) and there likely won’t be much this go round either…or will there be?

Sorry about that bit of bad language at the beginning of the show last week. See THIS is what happens when you become a lazy audio editor and don’t listen through the whole thing or take notes to remember what to do when you start putting things together…or so Guy thinks he was told anyway. Also Who DOESN'T love having their their iPhone turned into a spying device on themselves? Am I right?

Why are the GMen wasting time recording a podcast on Black Friday when we or AppleTV could be getting deals of a LIFETIME!?! Because it’s the same boring ho-hum nonsense from every year. “Special one day only deals” that seem to last a week on stuff we don’t really want anyway. Instead we’ll talk about the differences between the AppleTV, AppleTV, PLUS AppleTV!
