10.31.2022 - By Dave Hamilton, Pilot Pete & Their Geeky Friends
macOS Ventura changed the way we manage preferences with its System Settings app…and lots of things aren’t where we’d expect to find them! Listen as John tries to help Dave make sense of some of these…and maybe that helps us all! There’s more: your two favorite geeks dig into your questions about Wi-Fi speeds, travel chargers, and the security of Photos on your iPhone. That plus some great Cool Stuff Found submissions from the MGG Family make for a completely spooky episode for this year’s Halloween. Don’t get caught!
