    Bring back a tap-to-stop button for alarms and timers in iOS 26 with one Accessibility setting, then let Siri do the math when you ask for a timer that ends at a specific time. You’ll also learn how tapping the time in Apple Podcasts shows when your episode will actually finish at your listening speed, why your Apple Watch’s suggested replies suddenly got smarter, and how your cursor can glide between two Macs sitting side by side. Plus, fix shared external drives that refuse to let you write by checking the volume’s permissions, and find out why Siri AI can fail when Tailscale routes you through an exit node. Then it’s your questions: get Migration Assistant to see your old Mac (you have to run it on both) or skip it and just move your mail, decide whether an iPhone 18 Pro really makes Siri AI better than your 16 Pro, and get two-factor codes to auto-fill in Chrome with a simple click-away-and-back trick. You’ll hear why browsing Time Machine backups on a NAS crawls and what to look for in a UPS for your Mac mini. And in Cool Stuff Found, add a ring light to any Mac with LightBuddy, Webcam Ring Light or RingLight, snooze your reminders with Unforgetful, confirm your security patches with SilentKnight, and clean up a noisy mic with Waves NS1. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1167 for Monday, November 9th, 2026 November 9th: Carl Sagan DayMGG Monthly GiveawayThe MGG Merch Store is Live!

  • Seventeen Hours to Save Five Minutes

    Seventeen Hours to Save Five Minutes
    2026/11/02
    Hold Option while you drag a window edge and your Mac resizes around its center, and that’s just the start of what the Option key unlocks, from hidden Wi-Fi diagnostics to extra Bluetooth details in your menu bar. You’ll also learn how to update every Apple TV in the house straight from the Home app, why toggling Cellular Data revived an iPhone after iOS 27.2 when a reboot didn’t, what Reset Network Settings really costs you, and how a few well-named Notes give Siri’s new personal context something worth remembering. Plus the gang compares how they’re actually using AI right now, from Claude skills to coding agents that review each other’s work, then runs through Apple’s big week: the touchscreen MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display, the M6 MacBook Pro and iMac, and an OLED iPad mini. Then it’s your questions: find a medication reminder that bends around shift work (and count what vibe coding your own costs you in time), make Apple Mail always put attachments at the end, have your iPhone read your daily affirmations aloud with one simple Shortcut, and reach your NAS securely with Tailscale Serve or Cloudflare Tunnels instead of opening ports. And before you trust your left-behind alerts, open each AirTag in Find My and check its exceptions list, because Find My may have quietly added places you never picked.

    Kick off Mac Geek Gab 1165 with a stack of Quick Tips: find the four new options hiding in iOS 27’s jiggly-icon mode, see how Messages remembers where you were when you jump back through a thread, and control which direction Photos moves after you delete a shot. You’ll keep a stubborn printer visible just by leaving Print Center open, play your favorite podcasts through your Mac with iPhone Mirroring, and turn StandBy into a desk-side HomePod remote. Then it’s AI time: update the model on your scheduled agents before they quietly run on last year’s brains, get Siri AI’s full answers on iPhone and Mac, and size up Instinct, Muse, Dots, and Grok Bot as Apple’s assistant falls behind (again). You’ll also learn about the API credits hiding in Claude Max plans and a double-click trick that snaps any window to full size, with a Siri swear jar to keep the tips honest. Then your two geeks and a pilot answer your questions. Find out why your Mac’s scheduled shutdown never fires and which apps fix it without Terminal, run the flashlight test that tells you whether a dying display is worth saving, and pick the right webcam for your Zoom calls, from Insta360 and Obsbot to the Continuity Camera already in your pocket. Finally, tackle the macOS 27 Finder change that grabs your file extension along with the file name, plus the keyboard workaround that brings your muscle memory back. Press play, get your answers, and whatever you do, Don’t Get Caught! 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1165 for Monday, October 26th, 2026 October 26th: National Pumpkin DayMGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a MGG T-Shirt!The MGG Merch Store is Live!
