This week Dean returns and joins Alan, Steve, and Karl to mull over the week's Apple and tech-related news. Another series of Apple updates have been pushed plugging some more security holes and addressing bugs. Mac shipments have had a rather large drop in sales, but maybe that's not surprising. Apple is sued due to a chatbot. Just how safe are your passwords from A.I.? Google kills another service and Apple kills an unannounced product, or has it? All this, and slightly more, on this week's episode.

This week Alan, Steve, and Karl are joined once again by Gaz from the MyMac Podcast. Together they leaf through the week's Apple and tech-related news. Karl also shares his recent discovery about what fellow cast members really think of certain subjects, that they have apparently held dear for ages…or have they? LastPass users might want to update their passwords. Apparently, Chrome will no longer be a battery hog. Apple has a super-secret team working on super-secret things and watch out if wearing your AirPods Max out in public. All this, and slightly more, on this week's episode.
