The MacVoices Live! panel discusses the controversy surrounding Beeper, questioning whether it's a case of innovation or something less above-board. The back-and-forth between Beeper and Apple results in concerns about the security implications of giving out Apple IDs. The discussion shifts to the broader topic of politicians, particularly Elizabeth Warren, making statements about technology without a deep understanding of the issues at hand, with Beeper front and center. Overall, Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, and Guy Serle explore the complexities of interoperability, user experience, and Apple's decision-making in the context of iMessage and Beeper.

Less than 24 hours after Apple’s “Scary Fast”, MacVoices Live! convened the panel of Chuck Joiner, David GinsburgJim ReaEric BoldenPatrice Brend’amourBen RoethigJeff GametMark Fuccio and Kelly Guimont. The discussion starts with the presentation aspects of the event, then turns to the new iMac powered by an M3 processor and its consumers focus, returning to the iMac's original roots. That Apple's most powerful machines are now laptops is considered, as are the alternatives for those who want more, larger screen options. Screen resolution is debated, and the implications of the event being shot entirely on an iPhone 15 Pro Max were  examined. (Part 1)

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck JoinerDavid GinsburgPatrice Brend’Amour,Jim ReaBrian Flanigan-ArthursWeb BixbyEric BoldenJeff GametMark FuccioKelly GuimontBen Roethig, and Guy Serle finish up their discussion of Apple’s Wanderlust event with some (for now) final conclusions. They highlight the iPhone 15 Pro's hardware ray tracing and USB-C port, which offer great benefits for 3D work and accessory options, and debate the size options, questioning whether purchasing the Pro models is not necessary unless you need faster USB-C speed and 5x zoom. The line between the 15 and 15 Pro is blurring, and the panel can’t fully agree on who which model is for. (Part 3)

<p>In the final part of this MacVoices Live! session, the panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong><strong> </strong>discuss Goldman Sachs’ reported $1 billion loss on Apple Card. We speculate on other factors like changing interest rates and their foray into the consumer loan business as possible explanations. Just for fun, we consider the idea of Apple potentially acquiring Goldman Sachs to expand into consumer finance. Regulatory challenges and the complexity of multinational operations are covered, as well as the role of existing banks in Apple's international expansion plans for the Apple Card. (Part 3) </p>

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong> went shopping on Amazon Prime Day (who didn’t), and reveal their purchases both tech and non-tech. That led to some discussion of hardware choices past and present, and what effect participating in the annual shopping event has on data collection. This part of the discussion concludes with observations about the adoption rate of Threads. (Part 1) </p>

<p><strong>Ben Roethig</strong> believes the iPad has evolved to be more like a Mac, with mouse and keyboard support, and that that evolution should include the macOS. We debate the benefits and challenges of a touch interface on the Mac, and the future of traditional laptops. How a unified operating system could preserve device strengths while implementing simplicity is discussed with an eye toward security.</p>

Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.</p>

<p><strong>Michael Potter</strong>  is the Executive Producer of<strong> <a href="http://www.formaceyesonly.com">For Mac Eyes Only</a></strong>, and the organizer of the annual<a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com"><strong> Macstock Conference and Expo</strong></a>. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.</p>

<p>In the second part of our discussion with <strong>Joe Kissell </strong>about <strong><a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/digital-legacy/#tab-toc">Take Control of Your Digital Legacy, Second Edition</a>, </strong>Joe talks about the importance of designating a trusted digital executor and consulting professionals for handling digital assets. We recover the risks of relying on third-party services and the need for a backup plan. Practical tips include writing your own obituary and carefully managing passwords. Joe's book on digital legacy offers more detailed information and even a template you can use. (2) </p>

<p>In Part 2 of our conversation about  <strong><a href="https://rockynook.com/shop/image-editing/lightroom/adobe-lightroom/ref/251/?campaign=jccom">Adobe Lightroom: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features</a> </strong>author <strong>Jeff Carlson</strong> explores the usability of Lightroom's features for landscape photography and the masking feature,which allows for precise adjustments without affecting the rest of the image. The importance of understanding Lightroom's capabilities is emphasized, and the Jeff explains how this book aims to guide photographers in approaching their editing process differently. We also touch on Lightroom Classic's plug-in system and its flexibility in integrating with other applications. Jeff shares insights on exporting images from Lightroom, editing them in other programs, and re-importing them versus using third-party plugins within Lightroom. We wrap up by discussing AI's influence on photography. (Part 2) </p>

<p>In the 2023-06 Update, Chuck talks about Macstock Conference and Expo and The Road to Macstock, Take Control author interviews, and the studio/office refresh.

<p><strong>Joe Kissell</strong> is back to discuss his latest book, <a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/passwords/"><strong>Take Control of Your Passwords</strong></a>. First up is the ever-increasing importance of password hygiene in our digital age as passwords remain an easy target for hackers. We delved into Passkeys, a more secure alternative to traditional passwords, and the recent developments in their adoption, including support from Microsoft, Google, and password managers. Joe also also touched on the challenges of saving Passkeys in third-party tools and the ongoing work being done to solve this issue. (Part 1) </p>

<p>Our conversation with <strong>Rachel Schmitz </strong>on <strong><a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">The Road to Macstock</a> </strong>outlines her unique approach to the conference’s topic of “Learn”. How living with a geek “rubs off”, lessons from how she and husband <strong>Mike Schmitz </strong>are raising their family in an intentional way, with different approaches to learning and creativity, and more are all part of a different kind of discussion. </p>

<p>Rachel Schmitz is mostly a nerd by association. She has bachelors degrees in both fine arts and theology. She began her photography business in 2006, called the Art of Kairos, specializing in wedding photography and custom designed leather bound albums. Her business pivoted to contract commercial photography the final few years until she closed her business in 2020. Her use of technology is driven by the mission and mantra: Create not Consume!<br /><br />At that point, her focus turned to homeschooling her tribe of 5 children (4 sons and 1 tenacious daughter). She loves learning alongside her children and cultivates insatiable curiosity in them. She launched the Intentional Family podcast with her husband as a solution for endless calls, emails, and pleas for help from the multitude of parents suddenly in a world requiring them to navigate schooling at home in 2020.<br /><br />Unapologetically, Rachel is not on social media.

<p>Our <strong>Road to <a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">Macstock</a> </strong>series continues in a conversation with <strong>Jill McKlnley</strong>, a first-time presenter at the conference. Jill will be talking about “Using Your Sticks”, her metaphor for being more productive with your Apple tech. Jill should know: she talks about her journey from Windows user to podcast listener to switcher ad podcast producer. Her perspective on why the Mac, and on piece of software, make her choice obvious. </p>

<p>This MacVoices Live! panel wraps up with the panel’s thoughts on a report that tipping could soon become a thing at Apple Stores. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Web Bixby</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, and <strong>Jim Rea</strong><strong> </strong>have some strong, and sometimes conflicting, opinions on tipping in general, and in this instance in particular. Then, completely off-topic, Elon Musk’s Boring Company’s approval to expand under Las Vegas and Space X’s share of payload launches concludes the session. (Part 3)</p>

<p>Our latest <strong>Road to <a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">Macstock</a> </strong>conversation is with cognitive neuroscientist and productivity coach <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, who will be making her first appearance at the conference. Brittany will be taking a different approach to the topic of “Learn”, and discussing where and how we expend our mental energy to achieve the best results. She gives us a small look at how that thinking integrates with some software tools, as well as providing her thinking on appropriate uses of multitasking. </p>

<p>In the May 2023 Update, Chuck explains a slight change of appearance to MacVoices that was driven by circumstances both voluntary and involuntary, and a lesson learned. The conclusion of interviews from NAB, the return of “The Road to Macstock”, and the month’s support report round out the Update. </p>

The seizure of a shipment of counterfeit AirPods and what jobs are already being impacted by ChatGPT round out the discussion. (2) </p>

<p>Our next stop on the <strong>Road to <a href="http://macstockconferenceandexpo.com">Macstock Conference & Expo</a> </strong>is a conversation with <strong>Allison Sheridan</strong>. We start out reviewing how a previous Road to Macstock session resulted in a change to Allison’s topic before trying to figure out what she will present this year. Along the way ideas were proposed, discussed, and rejected. She finally decided on a topic…or did she? </p>

<p><strong>Guests:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Allison Sheridan</strong> started podcasting in May of 2005, just 7 months after podcasting was invented, and her primary show, the <a href="http://nosillacast.com"><strong>NosillaCast</strong></a> has come out every week without missing an episode since late 2005. She now produces <a href="https://www.podfeet.com/blog/category/ccatp/"><strong>Chit Chat Across the Pond</strong></a> as a separate podcast that is also released weekly. NosillaCast and Chit Chat Across the Pond audio content and associated blog posts are created and edited by Allison.</p>
<p>Allison has a Master’s of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from UCLA with an emphasis in Kinematics. Her love of technology really took off when she and her husband Steve bought a 512K Mac in 1984.</p>
<p>During industry events such as NAB, CES, Macworld, CSUN’s Assistive Technology Conference, and Mac Mania Cruises, Allison conducts interviews and presentations while NosillaCast videographer Steve Sheridan records, edits and produces them. Associated blog posts and social media presence are also managed by Steve.</p>
<p>Her partner in crime on many of the shows is Bart Busschots who co-hosts Chit Chat Across the Pond every other week. He brings the propeller-beanie style episodes with his series <a href="https://www.podfeet.com/blog/taming-the-terminal/"><strong>Taming the Terminal</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.podfeet.com/blog/programming-by-stealth/"><strong>Programming By Stealth</strong></a>. Bart is a well informed, engaging instructor and he keeps detailed tutorial show notes over at <a href="https://www.podfeet.com/blog/about/%E2%80%9Chttp://bartbusschots.ie%E2%80%9C"><strong>bartbusschots.ie</strong></a>.</p>
<p>In addition to hosting her own shows, Allison has been a guest on MacBreak Weekly, Daily Tech News Show, Clockwise, Cordkillers, SMR Podcast, Tech’s Message, Ritual Misery and The Productive Woman Podcast.</p>
<p>She also creates video tutorials for <a href="http://screencastsonline.com"><strong>ScreenCasts Online</strong></a> and is a freelance writer for <strong><a href="http://www.screencastsonline.com/magazine">SCO Magazine</a></strong>. She’s been a speaker on the Mac Geek Cruise, Macworld, BlogWorld & New Media Expo, Macstock, and at many Southern California Mac User Groups.</p>
<p>Allison dedicates a considerable amount her time learning and talking about assistive technologies, especially for the blind. In her spare time she exercises like a demon.</p>
<p>Without the support of Steve, none of this would be possible.<br /><br /></p>

<p>At <strong><a href="http://nabshow.com">NAB</a> </strong>in Las Vegas, we caught up with <strong><a href="http://studiobox.co">Studiobox</a>, </strong>and there was a lot to catch up on. Co-Founder <strong>Ian Smith</strong> explains how they are expanding from just a production company to include a SAS option. They can still be hired to run the Studiobox-based production, but you can also do your own production. Soon, as the SAS model expands, you will be able to use your own equipment via their software. A fascinating example of a company born during the Pandemic and who are now evolving based on need and technology advancements. </p>

<p>At a very crowded, busy <a href="http://insta360.com"><strong>Insta360</strong></a> booth at <strong><a href="http://nabshow.com">NAB</a></strong>, VP of Marketing for North America <strong>Michael Shabun </strong>gave us the rundown on the <a href="https://amzn.to/3pa4w4m"><strong>Flow</strong></a>, an AI tracking stabilizer that makes your iPhone an even more powerful video creation tool. From the magnetic connection that gets you ready to go in seconds, to the full control of both the stabilizer and the iPhone’s native video capabilities, to the tracking that makes sure that you are never out of frame, even if someone walks between you (which happened frequently during this interview), the Flow is something you’re going to want in your video toolkit.</p>

That has expanded the options for their users that include music, video clips that are organized using a story metaphor, and much more. Josh also offered a very balanced evaluation of AI use in the creative process.</p>

<p>At NAB, we had an interesting discussion with <strong>Glen Mulcahy</strong>, the Managing Director of <strong><a href="http://mojofest.eu">Mojofest</a>,</strong> about the development of mobile journalism (mojo).

<p>After being off a week, the MacVoices panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong>, and <strong>Jeff </strong><strong>Gamet </strong>catch up on a number of interesting developments starting out with why the expected deletion blue checkmarks on Twitter didn’t happen. A bit more concerning is an examination of a blog post outlining carrier forced wi-fi offloading - what it is and why it is a concern on a number of fronts. (Part 1) </p>

<p>This MacVoices Live! panel starts off with <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>Web Bixby</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, new panelist <strong>Kyle Swager</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, and <strong>Ben Roethig </strong>deciding whether Belkin’s decision not to support the Matter protocol for smart devices is meaningful. The cast of “Ted Lasso” visiting the White House was definitely meaningful to many, and the FCC taking steps to cut down on spam texts is absolutely meaningful to all smart phone users. The panel has meaningful thoughts. (Part 1)</p>

<p>Apple’s presence as a media company is becoming more important, both to the company itself and to its audiences. That's why <strong>Charlotte Henry</strong> and <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong> have teamed up to produce a new “show within a show”. <strong>TV+ Talk</strong> will be delivered through both the MacVoices channels and those of Charlotte’s <a href="http://theaddition.net"><strong>The Addition</strong></a>, and will focus on that presence. In the first installment, Charlotte and Chuck discuss the genesis of the project, their different perspectives on Apple TV+ shows, and how the first two episodes of the third season of "Ted Lasso" hold up. </p>

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>Dave Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, and <strong>Jim Rea </strong>had more thoughts on the use of ChatGPT and other generative AIs and where they are appropriately used (as if that’s going to stop inappropriate use). Samsung’s questionable claims of great moon images as evidence of their phone’s photographic capabilities, Google’s magic eraser feature, and more have the panel wondering if they are living in a science fiction novel. (Part 3)</p>

<p><strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Web Bixby</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, and <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong> take a look at a couple hot topics. The Apple community has rallied behind the idea of not asking for refunds on Twitter client subscriptions from some high-profile developers, but seem equally comfortable avoiding paywalls. The debate/discussion over the rationale behind these seemingly conflicting attitudes takes center stage. (Part 2) </p>

<p>This MacVoices Live! session finishes off a discussion of Spotify’s failure to deliver on a lossless music service, and whether that is part of a trend. The panel of <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, and <strong>Jim Rea </strong>wrap the session with their thoughts on Apple ordering all the 3-nanometer chips that TSMC can make. How far ahead of the competition will that make them, and how long can the lead be sustained? (Part 3) </p>

<p>To start off this MacVoices Live! session, <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong> relates a personal story of outstanding Apple support. Then, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, and <strong>Web Bixby</strong> dig into Spotify’s unsuccessful attempt to corner the podcast market, how much damage it did to that market, and to Spotify. Is podcasting really in decline, or is it just more click bait? (Part 1) </p>

<p><strong>Eric Bolden</strong> and <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong> have been experimenting with the various third-party apps for Mastodon. It is an area that is constantly and rapidly evolving, and that can be a bit confusing at times. In the first part of our conversation, they share how they use social media and what features are important to them before digging in to a discussion of individual apps. (Part 1) </p>

<p>Our conversation with <strong>Joe Kissell</strong>, author of the sixth edition of <a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/1password/"><strong>Take Control of 1Password</strong></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) </p>

<p><strong>Joe Kissell</strong> has updated <a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/1password/"><strong>Take Control of 1Password</strong></a> to the sixth edition, and our conversation about the new edition starts off helping you understand how and why the move to the Electron version of the app has caused so much controversy. If you think that is a bad thing, you need hear why Joe feels that 1Password isn’t the typical Electron app. Joe also starts a discussion of features, the subscription model they transitioned to, and why it is a good thing. (Part 1)</p>

<p>Our CES wrap-up prompted a passionate discussion of what expectations we should have for products exhibited. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Norbert Frassa</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong> and <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong> 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? </p>

<p>At <a href="http://ces.tech"><strong>CES</strong></a> in Las Vegas, we found <strong><a href="http://what3words.com">What3Words</a> </strong>in the Automotive Pavilion. PR Manager <strong>Frankie Cowan</strong> explained why they were there, and how their service lets you pinpoint your location down to a 3-meter square using a three-word combination. And that’s anywhere in the world: What3Words has it all mapped out, supports a variety of languages, has an iOS app, and much more. Frankie talks about the adoption of their service by emergency service, how some pop culture icons have adopted them, and more. </p>

<p>At <strong><a href="http://showstoppers.com">ShowStoppers</a></strong> at CES in Las Vegas, <strong>Unistellar</strong> was showing off an advanced, smart telescope that connects to your iPad rather than squinting through an eyepiece. CEO <strong>Laurent </strong><strong>Marfisi </strong>told us about the feature set, how it automatically calibrates to the part of the sky visible to you, and why you can get great images, even if you are in a light-polluted city. He also talks about their partnership with NASA to crowd-source astronomy, and what you need to do to be involved. </p>

<p>At <a href="http://ces.tech"><strong>CES</strong></a> in Las Vegas, <strong><a href="http://edgesoundresearch.com">Edge Sound Research</a> </strong>seemed to be hosting a party booth with couches and music. What became evident when we talked to Co-Founder and CEO Valtteri Salomaki was that the couches were there to allow visitors to experience their technology that lets you feel the various frequencies of sound. Not just deep base or subwoofers, their resonx technology lets you feel everything. </p>

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Jim Rea, Web Bixby, Mark Fuccio, Guy Serle</strong> and special guest <strong>Brad Meyer</strong> take an extended look at Apple’s announcements of new M2-based MacBook Pros and macMinis. Price, power, availability, and the unusual way the announcements were communicated all get reviewed. Find out why some of the crew have already ordered, why some are passing, and some are on the fence. Then, the question of notification of software subscription renewals and pricing is examined in a public service announcement type of discussion that includes some tips for making sure you do or don’t get renewed without your consent. </p>

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, and <strong>Jim Rea</strong> continue to discuss the use (or lack) of app clips and why they seem to have disappeared from the user landscape. Do QR codes represent a convenience or a threat vector or both? The panel doesn’t agree on the latter point, and weigh the benefits and risks. A discussion of AM radio (yes, AM radio) wraps up this session. (Part 3) </p>

<p>The discussion over the percentage of iPhones that get upgraded to the latest version, and why that is important, continues with <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Eric Bolden</strong>, <strong>Brittany Smith</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, and <strong>Jim Rea</strong><strong>.</strong> It isn’t just customers who make that decision; there are aspects of developers’ support of new system software version that you may not be aware of. The panel then starts a spirited discussion of why App Clips seem to have gone out of favor, and whether the use of QR codes represents a user-level threat. (Part 2) </p>
