The group dives into the latest Apple news and beta updates including visionOS 26.4 beta 4, iOS 26.4, and other platform updates. They also spend significant time discussing the newly released MacBook Neo, Apple's surprise entry-level Mac that is already shaking up the PC and Chromebook market. The panel explores how the MacBook Neo performs in real-world scenarios, including video encoding tests and education-focused use cases. Early impressions suggest Apple may have dramatically changed the budget laptop landscape. The discussion also touches on how competitors like ASUS are already reacting to the Neo's disruptive price point and performance. Vision Pro remains part of the conversation as the group discusses new features in the latest visionOS beta and a curious real-world incident where a passenger was asked to remove their Vision Pro during a flight. The panel debates airline rules, passenger etiquette, and how spatial computing devices fit into public environments. One of the biggest topics this week is Apple's newly released MacBook Neo, and both Marty Jencius and Eric Bolden share their early hands-on impressions. Marty puts the machine through a real-world test by converting a 4K video project to 1080p in Final Cut Pro, revealing performance that surprised even seasoned Mac users. Eric also shares his experience using the Neo alongside Apple Vision Pro in a coffee shop workflow, highlighting how the device works well as a lightweight entry point into the Mac ecosystem. Dave also shares his first impressions of the new iPhone 17e, which he recently picked up through a carrier upgrade. He talks about the improvements over the previous model, including the return of MagSafe, a better display, and increased base storage. While positioned as Apple's entry-level iPhone, Dave explains why it may be an excellent option for many users looking for a capable iPhone without stepping up to the higher-priced Pro models. Other topics include Apple continuing security updates for older devices, new Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball announcements, and reflections on Apple's upcoming 50th anniversary celebration. The group also shares personal stories about the Macs that meant the most to them over the years. Finally, the team wraps up with exciting news about MacStock X, where several panelists will be speaking, and encourages listeners to join the Apple community event.

Dave Ginsburg is joined by Mike Potter, Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jill McKinley, and Eric Bolden to break down a big week of Apple news. The panel discusses visionOS 26.4 beta updates, iOS 26.4 beta, the new iPhone 17e, M4 iPad Air, and refreshed MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with M5 chips. The biggest debate centers around Apple's brand-new MacBook Neo, a $599 MacBook designed to compete with Chromebooks in education. Is it a smart gateway device for new users or an underpowered compromise? The panel shares strong opinions while also discussing Apple's strategy for expanding the Mac ecosystem.

The discussion begins with updates across Apple's platforms, including visionOS 26.4 beta 3, which appears to focus mainly on bug fixes and stability improvements as Apple prepares the platform for a future release. The panel shares their early impressions of the update process and discusses how developers are continuing to explore new possibilities around XR streaming and immersive experiences on Vision Pro. The group then moves into Apple's latest software updates, including iOS 26.3.1 and iOS 26.4 beta 3, along with updates for iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. While many of the updates are minor, Apple continues refining features such as Apple Music's Playlist Playground and preparing Apple Podcasts for native video podcast support. The panel also notes Apple's continued improvements to system security and stability while reminding listeners that beta software should still be used cautiously on primary devices. A major part of the episode focuses on Apple's latest hardware announcements. The panel begins with the iPhone 17e, Apple's new entry-level iPhone that includes the A19 chip, improved portrait photography, MagSafe support, and a 256GB base storage configuration while maintaining a competitive $599 starting price. The group discusses how this model could become the ideal recommendation for many users who want a reliable iPhone without paying for a higher-end Pro model. They also explore how the device could work well as a travel phone, a secondary phone, or a practical upgrade for family members who want simplicity and value. Next, the panel examines the newly refreshed iPad Air with the M4 chip, which now includes 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7, and Apple's N1 wireless networking chip. The panel largely agrees that the iPad Air continues to be the "sweet spot" in Apple's tablet lineup, offering powerful performance without the premium cost of an iPad Pro. They discuss how the Air remains the most common recommendation for everyday users who want a capable iPad for productivity, media consumption, and general use. The conversation then shifts to the Mac side of Apple's announcements. Apple updated the Studio Display with Thunderbolt 5 support and upgraded internals, though the panel debates whether the premium pricing makes sense compared to other high-quality displays on the market. The discussion continues with Apple's updates to the MacBook Air with the M5 chip and the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which bring major performance gains, increased base storage, and improved graphics capabilities. Dave shares that he plans to upgrade his own MacBook Pro to an M5 Pro model, while the panel reflects on how dramatically Apple Silicon has improved Mac performance since the M1 era. The biggest debate of the episode centers around Apple's surprising announcement of the MacBook Neo, a brand-new entry-level MacBook starting at $599 and powered by an A18 Pro chip. Designed to compete directly with Chromebooks in education markets, the Neo introduces a new tier in Apple's laptop lineup. The panel dives into a lively discussion about whether the Neo represents a smart strategy to expand Apple's reach or a compromise that may struggle with longevity due to its limited memory and ports. Mike Potter delivers a passionate critique, arguing that the device feels like a disposable computer aimed primarily at schools, while other panelists see it as a secure, well-built, and affordable entry point for students, travelers, and users who need a simple Mac for basic tasks. The conversation also explores how the Neo might introduce a new generation of users to macOS while potentially competing with low-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks. Some panelists see it as a gateway device that could lead users to upgrade to more powerful Macs later, while others question whether a refurbished MacBook Air might be a better long-term option. To close the show, Mike Potter shares updates on MacStock 10, including expanded programming, the addition of Ecamm's Creator Camp, and a new Saturday evening event that will be announced soon. The panel reflects on how MacStock continues to grow each year as an important gathering for Apple enthusiasts and creators. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

Sometimes, technology can almost seem like magic. That's how I think sometimes about cell phones. I mean, you can just pull a little device out of your pocket, tap a couple of things on the screen, and suddenly you're talking in real time to some other person, who can be anywhere in the world? I know we take this for granted now, but it's pretty amazing. There was a little trick I used to do sometimes, with Skype. Remember Skype? Back in the day, it was pretty cool to be able to use your computer to actually make a phone call. Of course, now we do it all the time with Google Voice. But Skype used to be pretty cutting edge. Anyway, one of the features of having a Skype account was 3-way calling. You could have a 3-way conversation really easily. So what I would do is pull up the Skype app on my computer, and have my list of contacts on the screen. I would click on my dad's name, so it would start dialing his phone number. Then I would click my brother's name, and it would start dialing HIS phone number. They would both answer the phone, like “Hello?” and I would just stay silent and enjoy the confusion. They each knew their phone rang, and of course they recognized each other's voices, but neither of them had made the call so they had no idea why their phones rang. It was always good for a laugh. But sometimes, a phone call can be traumatic. My guest today is Adam. He was enjoying some solo rock-climbing one day, and was on the phone with his roommate, Rachel. That phone call became one that neither of them will ever forget. Adam is on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaiaiaaoui/ This is Adam's band, Birdnest - https://www.instagram.com/birdnest.music/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/248 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

With no official details revealed, speculation runs high. Could we see colorful, lower-cost MacBooks powered by A-series chips? M5 Pro and Max MacBook Pros? Updated iPads? The panel debates whether Apple may stage a staggered release week or unveil everything in a single coordinated announcement. The discussion shifts to Vision Pro, where rumors suggest Apple could demonstrate immersive Formula 1 experiences just days before the 2026 F1 season begins. With Apple's expanding sports footprint, including IMAX screenings of F1 races, the possibility of spatial sports broadcasting feels closer than ever. The panel also reviews VisionOS 26.4 beta updates, including refined UI elements, reorganized settings, early foveated streaming support for developers, and expanded 8K playback capabilities on newer hardware. iOS 26.4 beta brings one of the busiest update cycles in recent memory. Highlights include AI-powered playlist creation in Apple Music, enhanced podcast video playback directly inside the Apple Podcasts app, CarPlay integration with third-party AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, improved hotspot usage visibility, battery charge limit automation through Shortcuts, and Stolen Device Protection becoming enabled by default. The panel weighs in on whether security features should be opt-in or automatically enforced. On the Mac side, Rosetta 2 warnings now alert users when launching Intel-based apps, signaling Apple's continued push toward full Apple Silicon adoption. The conversation explores legacy software challenges and developer responsibility during platform transitions. Additional stories include Toyota adding Apple Wallet car key support, Tesla's rumored CarPlay integration delays, and a powerful real-world example of Emergency SOS via satellite saving skiers in a Lake Tahoe avalanche. Finally, Apple's sports strategy takes center stage as MLS Season Pass becomes free for Apple TV+ subscribers, joining F1 and Friday Night Baseball in Apple's expanding live sports ecosystem.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Chuck Joiner, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. The panel discusses iOS 26.3 security updates, the launch of YouTube's native app on Apple Vision Pro, and improvements across Apple's platforms. They debate home security cameras and privacy, explore iPad multitasking enhancements, and break down the Apple Card's move from Goldman Sachs to Chase. Plus: YouTube TV bundles, T-Mobile's live call translation, and Apple's removal of iTunes wishlists.

With more than 35 security fixes in iOS and iPadOS alone, the panel stresses the importance of updating immediately. They also discuss improvements to Android-to-iPhone transfer tools and Apple's continued cross-platform migration efforts. A major highlight this week is the long-awaited arrival of a native YouTube app on the Apple Vision Pro. The panel dives into immersive video support, spatial Olympic content, interface quirks, and how this finally elevates Vision Pro's entertainment value. Is this the turning point for mainstream Vision Pro adoption? The debate is lively. The conversation shifts into a thoughtful discussion about home security cameras, sparked by recent news events. Are devices from Ring, Eufy, and others increasing safety — or creating neighborhood surveillance grids? The panel explores privacy concerns, AI integration, cloud vs local storage, and whether user-controlled footage strikes the right balance. Accessibility features get some spotlight as Dave demonstrates Sound Recognition on iOS, including the ability to detect doorbells while wearing noise-canceling headphones — a small feature with meaningful real-world impact. iPadOS multitasking improvements are also examined. Window resizing, dock behavior, and multitasking toggles continue pushing the iPad closer to being a full laptop replacement, though muscle memory and discoverability remain challenges. Financial news rounds out the show as the Apple Card prepares to transition from Goldman Sachs to Chase. The panel discusses what stays the same, what might change, and open questions about the Apple Savings account. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

The panel reflects on how far the platform has come since its early releases, noting steady software improvements and growing maturity. Marty shares hands-on perspective from recent workshops, emphasizing Apple's consistent approach to spatial computing compared with competing XR platforms. The conversation shifts to Apple's latest immersive video content, including the Crufts Dog Show experience, which highlights Vision Pro's strengths in visual detail and presence. From there, the panel touches on iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, and other platform updates, including Apple's continued support for older operating systems and why that matters for users with legacy hardware or specialized workflows. Discussion then turns to the Mac, with reactions to Apple's new online Mac configuration process, now modeled after the iPad buying experience. The panel debates whether the new flow simplifies customization or makes it easier for costs to escalate unexpectedly. A key segment focuses on the Apple Home app and Apple's push to migrate users to the newer Home architecture. The panel shares candid experiences with home automation reliability, pointing out HomeKit's strengths, ongoing frustrations, and the lack of a true backup-and-restore option. The episode continues with CarPlay Ultra's gradual expansion, reports of CarPlay connection dead zones caused by wireless interference, and a celebration of the iPad's 16th anniversary, reflecting on its lasting impact and why iPad and Mac continue to serve different roles.

HP Makes the Case for AI-First Collaboration Built for the Long Term At ISE 2026, HP Poly Mission Series, lineup features AI-based noise cancellation, super wideband audio, and multiple microphone configurations across the 400, 600, and 800 Series @Doug Green Publisher, Technology Reseller News “Hybrid work only works when the technology disappears into the background,” said Brian Phillips, Product Marketing Leader at HP. “By combining AI-driven audio and video intelligence with platform longevity and centralized management, we're helping organizations deliver consistent, high-quality collaboration experiences anywhere people work.” That statement captures HP's message at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, where the company rolled out a broad set of Poly audio and video updates designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in hybrid work: how to deliver reliable, high-quality collaboration experiences at scale without increasing complexity for IT teams. Rather than positioning AI as a standalone feature, HP is embedding intelligence across its collaboration portfolio, pairing AI-driven audio and video enhancements with longer platform lifecycles, sustainability considerations, and centralized management. The strategy reflects a clear focus on enterprise buyers who must balance user experience with operational consistency and long-term planning. A key part of the announcement is the new HP Poly Mission Series, a family of corded USB headsets designed for mission-critical use cases. The lineup features AI-based noise cancellation, super wideband audio, and multiple microphone configurations across the 400, 600, and 800 Series. HP is also simplifying procurement and deployment with a single model certified across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Google Voice, reducing the friction often associated with managing large headset fleets. On the video side, HP Poly VideoOS 5.0 signals a more strategic shift. Built on Android 13, the platform introduces architectural improvements designed to support future innovation while extending the usable life of HP Poly video systems. With support planned through 2032 and a roadmap toward Android 17, HP is directly addressing enterprise concerns around frequent hardware refresh cycles as collaboration software evolves. VideoOS 5.0 also delivers immediate enhancements, including smarter camera framing, enhanced AI noise blocking, multi-microphone audio mixing, and faster touch controller performance. Just as importantly, it establishes the foundation for upcoming capabilities such as DirectorAI multi-camera automatic switching, reinforcing HP's intent to evolve collaboration intelligence over time rather than through disruptive replacements. HP also used ISE 2026 to focus on a practical challenge facing many hybrid offices: Bring Your Own Device meeting rooms. The combination of the HP Poly Studio V12 video bar and the HP Thunderbolt 4 180W G6 Dock enables a single-cable connection that provides instant access to room displays, cameras, microphones, speakers, and network connectivity, while keeping laptops charged. The solution is designed to support Windows, Mac, and Chromebook users and is managed through HP Poly Lens, giving IT teams centralized control over settings, firmware updates, and device health. At the high end of the collaboration spectrum, HP continues to push toward more immersive experiences with HP Dimension with Google Beam. The AI-powered 3D video communications system combines six-camera capture, spatial audio, adaptive lighting, and real-time processing to create lifelike meetings without headsets or wearables. HP and Google are demonstrating the solution at ISE, offering a glimpse into how AI may redefine presence in future work environments. Taken together, HP's announcements at ISE 2026 reflect a clear direction. The company is betting that the next phase of collaboration will be defined not by novelty, but by intelligence that fades into the background while delivering durable, manageable, and high-quality experiences for both users and IT teams.
The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave is joined by Jill McKinley,Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. The discussion spans the latest Vision Pro beta updates and immersive NBA experiences to rumors of new M5 MacBook Pros and significant leadership shifts at Apple. The team also tackles critical security news, including a major data breach at a manufacturing partner and new anti-phishing features from 1Password.

The episode covers a wide range of topics from hardware shortages and software betas to major security breaches and executive transitions. The panel discusses the recent Vision Pro beta releases, noting that while the updates are relatively minor, they significantly improve connectivity with game controllers. Looking ahead, Apple Arcade is set to launch a "Retrocade" on February 5th, bringing 3D immersive versions of classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids to the headset. The team also reviews the recent immersive Lakers NBA game, sharing mixed feelings about the audio quality and app stability, but ultimately expressing excitement for the future of sports in VR. Current MacBook Pro stock is reportedly thinning, with wait times stretching into March. This has fueled speculation about an imminent release of M5 Pro and M5 Max models. The panel debates whether users should upgrade now or wait for the rumored M6, while also considering how NVIDIA's priority at TSMC for AI chips might be impacting Apple's supply chain. The discussion takes a serious turn regarding a massive 1TB data breach at Apple manufacturing partner Luxshare. The stolen data allegedly includes confidential product designs and engineering documents from 2019 through 2025, raising concerns about reverse engineering and hardware vulnerabilities. On the software side, 1Password has introduced a new anti-phishing feature that warns users when they attempt to paste passwords into suspicious websites. The panel also revisits Walmart's continued refusal to accept Apple Pay, noting that the retailer prefers its own "Walmart Pay" system to maintain control over customer purchase data. Apple TV+ continues to gain momentum with six Academy Award nominations for the film F1. The panel also previews upcoming content, including the March 27th premiere of For All Mankind Season 5, and discusses other popular series like Starfleet Academy and Monarch. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to reports that John Ternus is being groomed as the next Apple CEO. Ternus has recently taken over management of the design teams, a move seen as a way to expose him to broader business operations before Tim Cook eventually retires. While some panelists express anxiety over a post-Cook era, others highlight Apple's history of strong succession planning. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

The panel begins with breaking news that Chase will replace Goldman Sachs as the Apple Card issuer, a transition expected to take up to 24 months. The group debates potential impacts on daily cash back, high-yield savings, international availability, and whether Chase branding could alter the card's famously minimalist experience. Attention then turns to Apple Vision Pro, highlighted by the announcement of immersive LA Lakers games available to users in select regions. While excited about Apple's continued push into immersive sports, the panel addresses recent reports questioning Vision Pro sales and critiques media narratives framing the platform as a failure. The consensus: Vision Pro is still early, niche, and evolving—especially for enterprise and immersive content. On the software side, Apple's background security update testing raises interesting questions about transparency and user control, while Wi-Fi 6E performance boosts arrive quietly for newer Macs and iPads. Apple Music also gets some love, with new playlist folders, pinned music, and lock-screen animations, plus deeper discussion on whether Apple Music is now compelling enough to replace Spotify for some users. The episode also touches on a Logitech mouse certificate expiration that temporarily broke advanced features, reinforcing concerns about cloud-dependent hardware. From CES 2026, the team highlights smart bird feeders, AI-powered TVs, and a massive 52-inch 6K Dell display, sparking debate about longevity, privacy, and the growing creep of "always-connected" devices. Finally, the panel explores AI integrations in Gmail and Apple Music, including ChatGPT-powered playlist creation.

The discussion begins with a deep dive into Apple Vision Pro, focusing on whether the new M5 model is a worthwhile upgrade, who it's really for, and whether Vision Pro should be viewed as a finished product, an emerging platform, or a preview of Apple's long-term spatial computing vision. The panel explores developer adoption, enterprise use cases, and why meaningful spatial productivity apps may take years to fully materialize. The conversation then shifts to software, including impressions of the iOS 26.3 beta, particularly changes driven by EU regulations and continued refinements across Apple's platforms. Attention turns to the iPhone 17 lineup, where incremental updates, battery life improvements, camera enhancements, USB-C workflows, and vapor cooling spark debate about whether upgrading is worth it year over year. From there, the panel revisits the ongoing question of whether the iPad can truly replace a laptop, acknowledging its powerful hardware while noting ongoing limitations in iPadOS. The discussion continues with Apple's Mac lineup, highlighting macOS Tahoe as the final release to support Intel Macs and reflecting on how Apple Silicon has reshaped performance, battery life, and upgrade cycles. Security also enters the spotlight with a discussion on a recent malware case that bypassed macOS Gatekeeper, reinforcing the importance of user awareness despite Apple's protections. The episode wraps with a lighter but thoughtful look at ChatGPT's new year-end summary feature, comparing it to services like Spotify Wrapped and reflecting on how AI tools are becoming increasingly personal in daily workflows. The episode closes with final thoughts on Apple's 2025 trajectory, community engagement, and what lies ahead as the calendar turns toward 2026.

We saw M5-powered Macs push performance and battery life even further, while the Mac Studio continued to blur the line with the Mac Pro. It marks the end of official support for Intel-based Macs, meaning future macOS versions after Tahoe will be exclusive to Apple Silicon Macs.

The show opens with a discussion about the frigid weather sweeping across the country, before moving into Apple's newly announced App Award Winners. The panel covers winners across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro—including the iPhone App of the Year Timbo and Vision Pro winner Explore POV—with commentary on design choices, spatial computing innovation, and whether they personally use the selected apps. Next, the 2025 Apple Podcast of the Year—The Rest Is History—leads the group into a conversation about podcast quality, history storytelling, and the growing depth of Apple's podcast ecosystem. Updates to visionOS 26.2 RC are discussed, including expanded Travel Mode for buses and cars, support for spatial accessories (like Logitech's stylus), and improvements to Freeform. Eric even admits the new features were compelling enough for him to install the beta. Updates for iOS/iPadOS 26.2 RC also make news, adding the Liquid Glass lock screen slider, Reminders alarms, new AirPods Live Translation support in the EU, and Podcasts app refinements. Jeff warns listeners to hold off on macOS Tahoe due to persistent audio issues, reinforcing that stability still matters more than flash. The show then pivots into a major AI segment featuring: • Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5, touted as the new coding champion among AI tools • ChatGPT's new holiday shopping assistant, which impressed some panelists • The controversial discovery of ads in ChatGPT's app code, sparking fears of "enshittification" • A possible Apple Health integration, which launches a passionate privacy debate • Real-world examples of AI massively reducing work time—from spreadsheets to meeting analytics The group revisits Apple's newest patent describing a crease-free foldable iPhone using liquid metal, prompting speculation on durability, user experience, and whether Apple can create a foldable without the hallmark crease. Apple's Year-End Music Charts and Apple Music Replay lead to panelists sharing their most-played artists—ranging from Supertramp to Rush to 80s icons—and poking fun at Dave's unavoidable Taylor Swift top rankings. Apple also releases a beautifully produced Accessibility in College ad, highlighting assistive technologies like magnifier, voiceover, and live captions. The panel praises Apple's leadership in accessible design and speculates on future features for glasses-based products. Finally, the team dives into a major Apple Arcade update, featuring five new games including Subway Surfers+, SpongeBob Patty Pursuit 2, PowerWash Simulator, and more. The topic unexpectedly evolves into a discussion of how simulation games—like power washing or trucking—can offer therapeutic calm for many players.

Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network. Tonight the gang is bringing back the cartridge corner Cartridge corner: Snider The .577 Snider (14.7×51mm) cartridge was a British black powder metallic centrefire cartridge, which fired a 0.577-inch (14.7 mm), 480-grain (31 g) lead projectile, primarily used in the Snider–Enfield rifle. Early .577 Snider cartridges were made from a composite design using paper and brass foil with a stamped metallic base and primer, much like the first generation of Martini-Henry cartridges. Later cartridges (after the design had been proved with the Martini-Henry cartridges) were made from drawn brass, much like modern small arms ammunition. The .577 Snider cartridge was eventually replaced in service by the .577/450 Martini–Henry cartridge in the 1870s. The .577 Snider cartridge is considered by most commentators to be obsolete, with large scale commercial production having ceased in the 1930s.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave is joined by Jill McKinley,Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. Episode 395 discusses VisionOS 26.2, Apple's new immersive F-18 video, third-party VR content, iOS/macOS beta features, CarPlay tweaks, and frustrations with notifications. The team reviews five years of M-series chips, explores new satellite features, tests out the digital passport ID in Wallet, debates the bizarre iPhone Pocket, reacts to Tesla adopting CarPlay, and covers Apple TV's plans to stream MLS for free in 2026.

The group jokes about aliens, mental shielding, and Guy's emergency hat deployment skills before shifting into the week's Apple news. They begin with VisionOS 26.2 Beta, noting incremental improvements such as fixes for stylus pressure, stability updates, and lingering bugs in AirDrop visibility, SharePlay DRM playback, and subscription syncing. The panel agrees the update feels like a tightening pass while everyone waits for the next major feature drop. Apple's newest immersive video, "Flight Ready," filmed with Navy F-18s, sparks lively discussion. The group praises the cinematic quality—especially nighttime carrier deck landings and aerial shots—but several mention Apple's signature issue with immersive content: the feeling that "people are way too close to your face." The panel also highlights the increasing amount of third-party immersive Vision Pro content, including music videos, training simulations, and niche experiences created in tools like DaVinci Resolve, signaling that spatial content creation is slowly becoming more accessible. Eric shares his in-store test of the Vision Pro M5, where he focused on widgets, Safari multitasking, virtual displays, and system responsiveness. He intentionally pushed the device hard to see if it stutters—and it didn't. Dave walks through updates in iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS 26.2 betas, pointing out UI refinements such as expanded Liquid Glass styling, an improved Alarm interface, app sorting options in Game Library, and message-pinning in CarPlay. CarPlay itself becomes a heated topic—Dave explains how answering a call sometimes instantly hangs up afterward. Marty expresses frustration over automotive UI "reactions" in group chats while driving. The general consensus: CarPlay is great… except when it isn't. The group digs into macOS 26.2 (Tahoe) with mixed reactions. While some see improvements, Jeff notes memory issues and audio stack quirks still need addressing. 1Password's new behavior—unlocking automatically after system login—splits the panel. Some appreciate fewer prompts, while others insist on strict manual unlocking for security. A retrospective on five years of Apple's M-series chips follows. Marty mentions real-world benefits moving from M4 to M5, Jeff feels his M2 Pro is still strong, Dave says his M4 Pro Mac mini is now his main machine, and Guy jokes that old Intel Macs were basically "space heaters with keyboards."

The crew explores the rollout of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS 26.1, covering both the new features and the "why is my audio weird?" moments. Dave shares his Vision Pro M5 experience with the new dual knit band that may be the best $100 head strap you didn't need—but bought anyway. Marty highlights VisionOS improvements, including Logitech Muse stylus support and developer fixes. Jill and Eric praise the Vision Pro stability and clarity, while Guy laments Apple's confusing numbering scheme. The conversation shifts to iOS 26.1, with battery life improvements, manual workout logging, and AI-powered updates leading the list. Jeff warns about audio glitches, while Jill celebrates working out manually (on her Watch, that is). The crew debates iPadOS's new multitasking—and how everyone accidentally triggers Slide Over now. There's lively discussion on HomePod performance, tvOS tweaks, and watchOS bugs, including Eric's hilarious tip: turn off Bluetooth so the update doesn't take seven hours. Jill debuts her Apple Watch Ultra 3, promising not to test fall detection by "throwing herself off a mountain"—a running joke that quickly derails into chaos ("Don't go hiking with Jill!"). Later, Jeff reviews the Audioengine HXL DAC, calling it "tiny but mighty" for audiophiles, while Marty praises Apple's new App Store web interface for making app discovery easier across all devices. Finally, the crew cheers Apple's Q4 financial performance, with record-breaking $102.5 billion revenue, strong Mac sales, and unstoppable Services growth. As Dave puts it—"Apple's doomed… to keep making money." Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

Liz Entin didn't believe in an afterlife. She wasn't spiritual, and she avoided thinking about death. That changed after she lost her father. His death didn't just bring grief, it sparked a search for answers. In this episode, Liz shares how that search led her into quantum physics, reincarnation research, and mediumship. We talk about how she went from skeptic to believer after encountering evidence she couldn't ignore. She even tested psychics using fake names and burner phones, trying to confirm or debunk what they said. Liz is the author of WTF Just Happened?!: A Sciencey-Skeptic Explores Grief, Healing, and Evidence of an Afterlife and the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast. What makes her story unique is that it's based on firsthand experiences and real evidence, not blind faith. Liz discusses: The moment she realized life after death couldn't be dismissed The University of Virginia's reincarnation studies that shifted her perspective Her secret tests of mediums with Google Voice numbers, fake names, and burner emails The signs and synchronicities that changed everything for her How she accidentally gave her own mediumship reading How afterlife awareness shifts the grief journey Liz's story is about more than loss. It's about discovering something deeper in the wake of tragedy. If you've ever questioned what happens after we die, or if you're hoping for a sign from someone you've lost, this episode is for you.

Shehan Jeyarajah, college football writer for CBS Sports, returns to the show to join Alex and Richard for a meaty preview of the Big 12. You may enjoy Shehan's recent report on the details behind Texas Tech's NIL boom. In this preview:* Arizona State loses Cam Skattebo but still has so much returning from a team that nearly made the playoff semifinals* Iowa State has questions … and probably answers* Cincinnati likely has its best team under Scott Satterfield, which isn't saying a ton but could still be fun* Colorado probably (famous last words) will be less of a media circus* Baylor has huge upside with a full year of Sawyer Robertson at QB* Kansas State needs a less sloppy season from Avery Johnson* BYU's linebackers rock, but the QB situation does not* Oklahoma State asks: Does Mike Gundy have one last job in him?* UCF reunites with Scott Frost but may find that the world has changed* Texas Tech spent millions of dollars on the No. 2 transfer portal class. Shehan explains the nuts and bolts of how the Red Raiders are trying to get a bang for their buck, and the group talks about reasonable expectations* WVU has Richard deeply intrigued as Rich Rodriguez comes home* TCU can't waste a quarterback like Josh Hoover* Kansas has Jalon Daniels back, a solid defense, and medical questions* Houston brings on Conner Weigman, who's hoping for a better second act* Arizona might no longer be the offense-first dynamo we thought they were* Utah should be much better … but how much better?We then award Big 12 preseason awards such as the Split Zone Duo Dude of the Year, the Low-Key Cool Game of the Year, and the Coach Who's Most Likely Not to Return. Thanks to Shehan for joining us and to you for listening.Tell us why you love college footballLeave us a voicemail, and we may include it in an upcoming show.

Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network. Tonight the gang is answering some more questions. Hi guys, I have listened to a lot of your shows and I have not heard you cover this. Can you point me to a show where you covered this off, or advise me? Do you know if any of the Bullet seating die manufacturers produce dies that seat the bullet using a bullet seat plug that is independent of the bullet shape? Then I would just need one bullet seating plug for each calibre I load. By that I mean it gets seated the same way you measure CBTO using an ogive comparator tool and callipers? Or is this method likely to put too much pressure on that part of the projectile and cause deformation at the base of the ogive? Or am I completely off base with this and have completely misunderstood how it all works? Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network. Tonight the gang is taking questions from the live chat. I did some shooting last week, and was disappointed on the average Muzzle Velocity I measured. I used Hodgdon Benchmark powder on a 150gr bullet for my .308 Win. Reloading data from the website says that the max load is 43 gr. with an estimated velocity of 2,752 fps, and minimum charge 39.0gr with an estimated velocity of 2,521 fps for this bullet weight and caliber. For the reloading aspect, I annealed my brass, FL resized and bumped the shoulder .002", trimmed the brass to 2.005" and seated the bullet .020" away from JAM. I decided to come down 2gr from max but got a average of 2,010 fps, I shot 50 rounds, does anyone know what might of happen? Only thing I could think off is that i didn't take into account the COL that the manual says, Hornady manual says maximum 2.700" and hodgdon states 2.800" that's the only measure I didn't take into account since my seating depth was determined by the .020" from JAM. Hope to get some guidance and make up for the next batch. Josue from The Reloading Room on FB I just bought a french mas bolt action anyone have a good bullet powder combo? Any advice would be appreciated.
