Episode Details

You dive into Mac Geek Gab 1126, kicking off with quick tips like batch renaming files in Finder using Craig’s method, then celebrating Lotus 1-2-3 Day with a wild tangent on competitive spreadsheeting and full-contact spreadsheet battles—think TCAS systems in airplanes morphing into “Car As A Service” dreams. More tips follow: three-finger pinch on Mac for quick zoom, pinch iPhone Safari screens for all tabs, time zone hacks for jet lag flyers, Fn key emoji picker, and disabling cellular data on cruise ships to avoid roaming nightmares. Don’t Get Caught hits hard with Michael’s Password Hell survival and Larry’s warning on that pesky Apple Search bug in Settings—hold off nuking your iPad.

You tackle listener queries next, troubleshooting Bob’s Lightroom + Dropbox Trash Bin woes, hunting DLH’s missing CarPlay Maps pinch-to-zoom (maybe iOS 26?), verifying Eric’s MacUpdater safety, and fixing Sandy’s wonky Contacts app step-by-step.
