  • Scoring the Sleep Scores

    Scoring the Sleep Scores
    2025/12/08
    You dive into a packed Cool Stuff Found episode this week, moving fast from sensor-powered tinkering with phyphox to smarter dictation using Wispr Flow, altitude readouts in CarPlay, and Emby’s upgraded media management. You get practical wins too: safer file sharing with MetaWipe, smoother workflows through PopClip, a road-tested Nomatic backpack, and Picmal for quick local media conversions. Then the conversation flips to your questions: which sleep score app you can trust, how the new Journals app handles multiple journals, and how to make notifications behave when your Apple Watch is on your wrist. Don’t Get Caught missing the deep cuts. You also hear clear guidance on backup safety, with SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, ChronoSync, and Backblaze each playing a different role depending on how you protect your data. To wrap things up, the crew tackles border ID differences between REAL ID and passports, whether upgrading to macOS Tahoe or Sequoia is the smarter move, and a listener warning about bottom-filled beers that’s both funny and useful. It’s a full tour of tech insight and practical nerd wisdom, delivered at MGG speed. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1119 for Monday, December 8th, 2025 December 8th: Take it in the Ear DayMGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of OpenIn!The MGG Merch Store is Live!MGG’s CES 2026 Sponsors: BusyCal (with code MACGEEK10)!EeroEcammMacPawCCC Backup Cool Stuff Found 00:00:01 Ian-CSF-phyphox gives you ALL the Sensors on your Phone to play with!00:07:44 David-CSF-Wispr Flow for Dictation00:10:02 Bob-CSF-Altimeter & Barometer Pro shows your altitude in a CarPlay widget00:11:56 P2-CSF-Emby Media Server Emby Metadata Enhanced PluginPlex 00:16:29 Michael-CSF-1117–MetaWipe to safely send files00:20:17 Tony-GG-Popclip app is super handy and affordable00:22:04 Dave-GG-Nomatic Travel Backpack been using all year00:27:58 Alberto-CSMade-Picmal converts and compresses images, videos, and audio files locally on your Mac Sponsors 00:30:11 SPONSOR: Framer.

  • Treat Your TV Like a Monitor

    Treat Your TV Like a Monitor
    2025/12/01
    You kick off this episode with a rapid-fire blast of Quick Tips that sharpen how you use your Mac, iPhone, and apps every day. You learn how to tame iOS typing quirks, get the most out of dictation in ChatGPT’s Mac app, clean up Safari’s sidebar, and jump straight into System Settings with an alphabetical view. Then you dive into the spam-text battlefield, where forwarding to 7726, filtering, and blocking help you stay ahead. And because it’s Mac Geek Gab, you’re reminded: Don’t Get Caught letting your smart TV monitor more than you expect. From there, you get practical answers to real listener questions: backing up external Photos Libraries, deciding whether you trust Tailscale (and your relatives!), keeping network drives mounted in macOS 26, and dealing with the fact that Messages aren’t included in your Apple Data Archive. You round things out with a strong Cool Stuff Found segment covering tools to clean your menu bar, manage your watch history, secure your Mac, replace Bento, and more. It’s a full week of tips that tighten your workflow and expand what your Apple gear can do for you. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1118 for Monday, December 1st, 2025 December 1st: Eat a Red Apple DayMGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of OpenIn!The MGG Merch Store is Live!MGG’s CES 2026 Sponsors: BusyCal (with code MACGEEK10)!EeroEcammMacPawCCC Backup Quick Tips 00:00:01 Darrin-QT-Set Amazon Auto Buy00:04:47 Susan-QT-Maybe disable “slide to type” to tame iOS typing?00:07:09 QTR-Dictating to ChatGPT’s Mac App is really handy00:07:59 Bruce-QT-1116-Manage Safari’s Sidebar to your liking00:09:11 Gene-QT-System Settings Alphabetical List00:13:28 DGC-Dealing with those SPAM Text Messages Forwarding to 7726 Reports SPAM to your carrierScreen, filter, report, and block text messages on iPhone Don’t Get Caught 00:18:09 Todd-DGC-Beware of your TV selling data about you00:22:45 ATC-DGC-Know about Mouse Keys Sponsors 00:27:02 SPONSOR: Aura Frames.

  • Call Haptics, Photo GeoData Warnings, and Space-Saving iPhone Tricks

    Call Haptics, Photo GeoData Warnings, and Space-Saving iPhone Tricks
    2025/11/24
    You kick off this week’s episode on D. B. Cooper Day with a rapid-fire mix of fresh iOS 26 tricks and Mac power-moves. You learn how iOS 26’s haptic call alerts work, how Alfred can shut down your Mac faster than any menu, and how Forklift’s sync feature rivals DeltaWalker without any hassle. Shortcuts get smarter with automated sleep tracking, Command-P becomes your instant PDF escape hatch, and you get clarity on when you do and don’t need to hand over your phone as a digital ID. Listener follow-ups keep the energy rolling, including a reminder to rethink long-held holiday assumptions and a shoutout to Tailscale for keeping your tech effortlessly connected. Then it’s time to sharpen your defensive instincts so you Don’t Get Caught. You hear how to avoid being stranded without a wireless charger, why sending photos can leak your location, and what to do when the Mac App Store refuses to update your apps. You dig into undeleting Mail quirks, discover where your iPhone hides space-hogging files, and pick up smart workflows for offloading Messages media with CCC, iMazing, and Apple’s GDPR archive. You close with a simple breakdown of SSH so you can finally understand what’s happening when you open that mysterious Remote Login switch. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1117 for Monday, November 24th, 2025 November 24th: D.B.
