The gserle1's Podcast

Shortest event ever and could have been even shorter if they had snapped it up with all the processor talk. Don’t get us wrong, we love some of the finer details, but when you have an event that’s blink and you’ll miss it, having half of it taken up talking about cores and M1/Intel comparisons is kinda weak sauce.

Remember just a few weeks ago when we thought there wouldn’t be another Mac event this year? Or did we actually say the exact opposite? Hard to say, as the overblown reverb meant most people couldn’t stand listening to it.

Is anyone else disturbed that Apple may be getting involved with AppleTV content that they gave free reign to? We’d ask Jon Stewart but apparently that doesn’t play well in China. Also Guy’s experimental podcasting in a cave, down a ravine, in an abandoned concert venue, underwater last week didn’t work out as well as he had hoped.

We may thoroughly despise rumor mongering, but we do enjoy a little alleged by all accounts scuttlebutt so the story goes…so lets do that! Also Guy MAY have been a LITTLE heavy on the reverb…possibly

Sorry about that, but we were away for a bit taking care of all kinds of unrelated to being GMen things, but here we are. With MacOS Sonoma now released, there are certain things to remember and do BEFORE jumping to that new operating system. Chief among them is making sure you have a complete backup you can revert to in case things go horribly wrong! Will they? Probably not. CAN they? Oh most certainly.

I’m sure we were all surprised by the totally not pre-revealed by every single tech person ever alive or dead on what Apple released last Tuesday and to put the final nail in the coffin here come the G-Men! This should be an hour of predictable fun

Well we already talked about our predictions for the next Apple event last week. On purpose since a lot of people wouldn’t have heard us until after the event if done this week so what do we do for today? How about some CarPlay audiobook apps? Sure why not?

Apple announces to absolutely no one’s surprise their iPhone (probably) event on September 12th. There’s some stuff already known and likely there will be a surprise or two, but at this point we know what’s Apple’s cooking. Also, a big surprise from Guy

World’s longest “short” podcast that Guy and Gaz have ever done. No big tech show this week though Gaz’s snippets are still there. So, just how bad can a few flights go? Oh let me spin you a tale! Also odd tech glitched throughout much of the show which is blamed on Glenn Beck for reasons.

The title is kinda clickbait as there isn’t really anything called artificial intelligence for real. There are machine learning programs capable of writing malware based on the criteria given to it. The past and current talking points is that as the Mac gets more popular there will be more malware directed toward it. Been hearing this for years and the M-series Macs have grown the Mac market to the point where it is a more attractive target, but has there been more actual infections? One very telling point is that most articles saying the Mac get’s viruses and malware seems to come from companies selling anti-virus software.
