Playing Your Movies, Migrating Your Data, Managing Permissions – Mac Geek Gab 685

1 hour 23 minutes

Cold weather (in the Northern Hemisphere, that is!) means lots of people are staying home playing movies, and your geeks are here to help out with that. Our Southern Hemisphere friends are vacationing, and all that travel means playing movies on the airplane, too, so… we all need this! That's not all, though. Heck, that's not even most! APFS on rotational drives, permissions for your files, battery apps for your iPhone and much, much more are included, as well. Press play and enjoy as Dave Hamilton and John F. Braun take you on an infotainment adventure. You'll learn at least four new things!Note: Shownotes are complete!
