Episode Details

This week, you roll right into another round of Quick Tips, laughs, and lessons learned with Dave, Pilot Pete, and Adam! From macOS Tahoe’s alphabetized Settings to Spotlight searching everything—including those hidden menus—you’ll uncover new tricks that keep your Mac life humming. The crew digs into Apple and Google Maps’ smart intersection awareness, shares shortcuts to open Terminal right where you are in Finder, and explores accessibility superpowers like controlling your screen with your eyes and using full voice control across macOS and iOS.

Of course, there’s time for listener questions, from fixing calendar syncs and Mail zoom quirks to selecting inverse text the geeky way. You’ll even get their latest Gear Picks, like the Scosche ScoVac mini vac, Sifely smart door lock, and Matias Tactile Pro keyboard—all topped off with a detour into absurdity: Polka on a Flatbed. Stay sharp, have fun, and as always—Don’t Get Caught!
