MyMac Podcast 984: Apple Makes Money

Posted on August 4, 2024 by Tim Robertson

Apple’s 3rd quarter results are in and to no one’s surprise, Apple made a lot of money. Maybe the surprise is where they made it as much as how they made it. Also, we haven’t talked about it much, but our 700th show is just 1 show away. Anything you want us to talk about? Let us know or we’ll just drone on as usual. And of course thank you Karl for stepping in over the past couple of shows.

MyMac Podcast 983: Where’s Guy?

Posted on July 29, 2024 by Tim Robertson

Guy is away and Gaz has to Pod on his Jack Jones, or does he, of course not no one would want that, so Karl kindly stepped in to assist Gaz on this weeks show. They have a short chat about Apple’s HomeKit and Home Automation.

MyMac Podcast 979: CarPlay to Stay

Posted on June 30, 2024 by Tim Robertson

Karl Madden from the Mac and Forth podcast is in to keep Guy in line (good luck with that) while Gaz is away on a well deserved vacation from retirement! Also, General Motors is about to make a big mistake. They are said to be removing both CarPlay and Android Auto from their vehicles with their own Ultifi (no I didn’t make that up) platform. This is just one in a series of decisions GM is making to bring more people into the showroom by totally pissing them off. Because nothing enhances the car buying experience like making it even more frustrating.

MyMac Podcast 967: Artificially Intelligent Laughter

Posted on March 10, 2024 by Tim Robertson

What happens when you get two podcasters playing with AI images? Unexpected results and lots of laughs. Karl Madden and Guy spent some time this morning trying to create images with AI and some crazy results occurred. Since this is more visual than usual, Guy will create a version of the podcast on YouTube that will just have the AI image discussion so you don’t have to go through the whole thing.

MyMac Podcast 953: Scary Wrong

Posted on October 29, 2023 by Tim Robertson

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.

MyMac Podcast 950: So We’re Back!

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Tim Robertson

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.

So instead of more, “<em>Hey how about those new HomePods that look amazingly like the ones Apple already discontinued once</em>” or “<em>Should I get a new Mac now or wait until the M3 miniPro UltraMax comes out?”, </em>we’re going to talk about what to do when your worst week ever happens…without it being like, actually life threatening or anything.

There’s also lots of speculation (and a fair bit of whining) that it won’t be as expandable as some past Mac Pros were. Honestly? It probably won’t be. OODLES of audio comments including our first from the new Google voice number which will make this a SUPER long show with a lot of afters.

Obviously they haven’t been alone in doing this, most major tech companies and many smaller ones have either moved their factories to China or gotten started there. The pandemic showed that this was a risky move as China essentially shut their entire country down for a long time, disrupting supply chains everywhere. Apple and now many others are beginning to rethink this strategy and have begun diversifying their manufacturing to other countries in the region as well.</p> <figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="http://www.mymac.com/podcast/mymac922.mp3"></audio></figure> <p></p> <p><iframe style="width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px; background: transparent;" src="https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mymac-com-podcast/id74170128?itsct=podcast_box&itscg=30200" height="450px" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation">
