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)

You can follow his exploits on Twitter, catch him on Mac to the Future on Facebook, at @Macparrot@mastodon.social, and find everything at VertShark.com.

<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><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>

<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>

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>This MacVoices Live! session starts off with a discussion of the impact of Apple's API restrictions on third-party applications, particularly in relation to mail plug-ins in Sonoma. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Brian Flanigan-Arthurs</strong> and <strong>Web Bixby</strong> explore the importance of having a backup plan and the challenges faced by developers when APIs lack functionality. We also cover alternative options for Gmail users and workarounds for using Apple Mail with Outlook. Other topics include MSG file compatibility on Mac, the popularity of shows like "Silo" and "Foundation," and the possibility of a season four of "Ted Lasso.” (Part 1) </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. The use of large language models has made its way into MacVoices’ production, and Chuck covers the goods and the bads of these new tools as the experiment continues.

<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><strong>Guests:</strong></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>The MacVoices Live! discussion turns to Apple’s recent App Store purge of outdated files. <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Ben Roethig</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, and <strong>Guy Serle </strong>discuss the logic behind it, and why more than just old files are no more. Resistance to Apple Pay has some panel members fired up, and Warren Buffet’s divestiture of TSMC stock concerned. (Part 2) </p>

<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>

<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 <strong><a href="http://nabshow.com">NAB</a> </strong>in Las Vegas, we got an extensive tour of the many options for wireless mobile microphone solutions from <strong><a href="http://saramonicusa.com">Saramonic</a></strong>. <strong>Joe Nassar,</strong> USA Brand Marketing Manager, outlines models that have multiple transmitters, connect to your phone via Lightning or USB-C, models can be used in a wireless lavalier style, with clips or magnets, and even an option that lets you upload graphics to identify the speaker or in place of a mic flag. The affordable price points will surprise you. </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.

<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). How news stories and more get from happening to you has changed a great deal over the years. Glenn talks about those changes, how the iPhone has made things previously impossible a common event, and why there is still a need for crews and specialized gear. </p>
