What are your thoughts on backup internet connections, programming NFC tags, expiration dates on consumer products, DACs for your devices, and more? If you don’t have any of these yet, you will once you listen because these are just a few of the tangents John and Dave will walk you down this week! Never fret, though, everything still brings it back to all the Apple and technology devices you know, love, and want to learn about. Your two favorite geeks ensure you learn at least five new things, so go ahead and press play. Make sure you listen all the way through to the end, too, because you have a (very fun!) homework assignment!
