MacVoices #23081: Joe Kissell Takes Control of the New Version of 1Password (2)

Our conversation with Joe Kissell, author of the sixth edition of <a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/1password/">Take Control of 1Password</a>, continues with some of the features that the new version makes possible. They include a great feature for security-minded travelers who cross borders, the secure sharing of passwords, and SSH keys. We discuss the many ways 1Password keeps your data safe, why it is imperative for you to follow the instructions on how to access your vault, and how 1Password and Passkeys will interact. (Part 2)

MacVoices #23077: MacVoices Live! - CES Wrap-Up Part 2 and Apple's AI Use For Audiobooks (2)

Our CES wrap-up prompted a passionate discussion of what expectations we should have for products exhibited. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Norbert Frassa, Guy Serle, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, Brittany Smith and Mark Fuccio debate what fits the mold and why. Next, the panel considers the fact that Apple will soon be using AI to create audiobooks that don’t have or might not get an audio version. Who benefits, who loses? Can AI match a human narrator, or are they two different things?
