Podcasts about Macs

A great 1st hour!

We talk about Macs trip to Cancun and fill him in on all that he missed.

October 3, 2025 In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Ray Painter discuss two timely and important topics. First, they break down the current government shutdown and its effects on Medicare claims processing, including the 10-day hold issued by CMS to allow MACs to adjust their systems—especially around telehealth billing. They offer practical recommendations for urology practices, including billing guidance and the use of ABNs during the shutdown.Then, the discussion shifts to artificial intelligence in healthcare. After attending multiple urology meetings and AI sessions, Scott and Mark share real-world observations on how AI is being used across the urology landscape—from ambient documentation tools to claims scrubbing and patient scheduling. They emphasize the importance of human oversight, expertise, and carefully evaluating AI partners before implementing tools in your practice. Ray adds his perspective on the ongoing need for human knowledge and caution when embracing new technology.Urology Advanced Coding and Reimbursement SeminarInformation and RegistrationPRS Coding and Reimbursement HubAccess the HubFree Kidney Stone Coding CalculatorDownload NowPRS Coding CoursesFor UrologistFor APPsFor Coders, Billers, and AdminsPRS Billing and Other Services - Book a Call with Mark Painter or Marianne DescioseClick Here to Get More Information and Request a Quote Join the Urology Pharma and Tech Pioneer GroupEmpowering urology practices to adopt new technology faster by providing clear reimbursement strategies—ensuring the practice gets paid and patients benefit sooner.         https://www.prsnetwork.com/joinuptpClick Here to Start Your Free Trial of AUACodingToday.com   The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook group.The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group link to join:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ThrivingPractice/

Mac goes through his top teams, Bob goes through his stinkers and we talk headlines with one word.

The Ravens are down on themselves and it's time for the Chiefs to capitalize on that. We listen to Mac and Bob rank the top and bottom teams before talking headlines and naming a Royals player of the year as their season is officially over as far when it comes to playoffs.

This week on Driftwood Outdoors, Brandon Butler and Nathan McLeod welcome guest Keith Hannaman to talk all things bear hunting across the country and here in Missouri.What should've been a smooth conversation turned into one of the wildest recordings yet — Brandon's iMac Pro took a nosedive, Missouri weather kept knocking Keith offline, and the whole thing quickly spiraled into a comical disaster.Still, amidst the chaos, the crew managed to cover bear hunting, Keith's days playing football at Penn State, the kickoff of archery season, and of course, the Mystery Bait Bucket.It might be our most technically cursed episode yet, but it's packed with good laughs and a little bit of outdoor wisdom.Special thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

The presentation was similar in ambition to product unveilings of Macs, iPhones and iPads when Steve Jobs ran Apple. Mr. Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, laid out his vision for how computerized glasses would become the future of personal computing. The new glasses, the $800 Meta Ray-Ban Display, which runs apps similar to a smartphone, were supposed to show that Meta was light years ahead of the competition. But it failed its first public demonstration.

La adopción de la interfaz Liquid Glass en macOS Tahoe, que para nosotros muestra una transición con algunos puntos de fricción y una falta de actualización en aplicaciones propias de Apple como iWork y demás. Debatimos si esto se debe a una falta de recursos o a la burocracia interna de la compañía. El tema más destacado fue el rumor, surgido de Min-Chi Kuo, sobre la inminente llegada de Macs con pantallas táctiles a finales de 2026. Comentamos si esto sería una funcionalidad táctil básica o un cambio más profundo en el sistema operativo, considerando las expectativas de los usuarios y la experiencia previa con productos como la Touch Bar.En cuanto a otros productos de Apple, revisamos las primeras impresiones y las preventas del iPhone 17. Observamos un buen rendimiento general, especialmente para los modelos Pro y Pro Max, con operadores ofreciendo promociones agresivas. Sin embargo, señalamos que las preventas del iPhone Air en España no estaban siendo tan prometedoras, aunque preveemos que podría ganar tracción durante el periodo navideño. Además, compartimos los resultados de una encuesta entre nuestros oyentes sobre la duración de la batería de sus AirPods, encontrando experiencias variadas, especialmente con los AirPods Pro de primera generación, y especulamos sobre factores como el volumen de uso.Finalmente, comentamos la ausencia de la función de traducción de los nuevos AirPods en la Unión Europea, atribuyéndola a una estrategia de Apple para evitar posibles problemas con la Ley de Mercados Digitales (DMA), más que a una prohibición explícita. También celebramos el éxito de Apple TV+ en los premios Emmy, donde "The Studio" obtuvo 22 galardones. Discutimos el desempeño de otras series de la plataforma como "Severance", "Chief of War" (mencionando una interesante anécdota histórica española en Hawái), y la tercera temporada de "Fundación".

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas interviews Emily Graver, an adventure operations specialist at Macs Adventure, about the Hadrian's Wall walk. Jonathan is planning to walk the trail, a lifelong goal, in summer 2026. They discuss the history, planning, and preparation needed for this iconic 84-mile trail that runs across Northern England. Emily shares insights on logistics, fitness requirements, and the best sections to explore, as well as tips for packing and dealing with unpredictable British weather. The conversation also highlights local attractions, accommodations, and the support available for walkers, making it a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in this historic journey. Please help Jonathan make this dream of the walk happen by purchasing the special limited edition fundraiser Hadrian's Wall 2026 Calendar. Links in the show notes below. Note: Cover image in podcast is NOT Hadrian's Wall, it's Hardknott Roman Fort nearby in Cumbria (I don't have any pictures of Hadrian's Wall...yet). Links Hadrian's Wall Special Calendar Jon's Hadrian's Wall Announcement Post Hadrian's Wall Update Anglotopia & Londontopia 2026 Calendar Fundraiser Macs Adventure Hadrian's Wall Walks Cicerone Hadrian's Wall Guidebook Hadrian's Wall Path: British Walking Guide Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail official website Hadrian's Wall Country Bus (AD122) timetables and routes Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular long-distance walk. The walk requires careful planning and preparation, especially regarding fitness and logistics. Walking 15 to 30 kilometers a day is common, and the terrain can be hilly. Packing for all seasons is essential due to unpredictable British weather. Booking accommodations in advance is highly recommended, especially for summer months. The East to West route offers a unique experience of walking from a busy city to peaceful countryside. Vindolanda is a must-visit site along the route, known for its historical significance. Solo walkers will find camaraderie on the trail, while group walkers may face accommodation challenges. The app provided by Macs Adventures offers useful information and emergency contacts for walkers. Public transport links to the starting points of the walk are very good, making travel easier. Sound Bites 1. On the physical challenge: "The biggest mistake people make is they underestimate the level of walking that's involved. You are walking like 15 to 30 kilometres a day. It's also very hilly. There's a lot of ascent and descent." 2. On booking timing: "May is booking up a lot for people, very keen people that are ready to go on holiday for next May. It books up really, really quickly. So I'd really recommend if you've got like, if you want to... book ahead now." 3. On the route direction debate: "I personally did the East to West and I prefer it because you're going from like quite a busy city, Newcastle, and then you're slowly walking towards like really peaceful areas... You're also following the route that the wall was originally built by the Romans." 4. On the most challenging section: "The most challenging section is between a cute little village called Once Brood and the Hayton Gate turn off. It's very, very hilly... you are looking at 18 miles total in that one section." 5. On accommodations: "I will say with the Hadrian's Hall, there's less opportunities to upgrade your accommodation just because of the places we work with. They're very, very small. So it will tend to be more bed and breakfasts and inns." 6. On the historical discovery at Vindolanda: "They've discovered preserved handwritten parchments from Roman soldiers writing letters home... this Roman soldier asking his mum for a new pair of socks because it's so chilly and things like that." 7. On the full English breakfast challenge: "My personal point of view, accommodations will serve you such a big full English breakfast that by the time it gets to lunch, I don't usually need any. I can just power on through because like it's like sausages, bacon, eggs..." 8. On solo walking: "For solo walkers, I would say that Hadrian's Walk is a really nice walk for solo walkers because of the camaraderie that you'll get... as soon as you walk and you see someone, you say hello, you'll get chatting." 9. On essential packing: "I learned the hard way blister plasters, you have to pack them because my feet were absolutely awful and then I got to this lovely accommodation... very kind lady there gave me her pack of blister plasters." 10. On weather unpredictability: "I will say the weather is unpredictable. You need to pack for all seasons, but that's just, that's British weather. And we love talking about the weather. That's like our passion."

In this episode, Levi Gobin demonstrates screen sharing with VoiceOver on macOS. Levi first shows us the Screen Sharing settings in VoiceOver Utility, then demonstrates controlling another Mac using the Screen Sharing app.Starting with macOS Tahoe 26, VoiceOver can be used to control another Mac remotely using the built-in Screen Sharing facility, either through FaceTime or Messages for controlling Macs over the Internet, or Finder or the Screen Sharing app (located in the Utilities folder) for controlling Macs on your local network. When controlling another Mac, VoiceOver can be configured to use a different voice or cursor color, in order to differentiate your Mac from the remote one.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Levi: Hello, everyone. And in this podcast, I'm going to demonstrate the newly introduced screen sharing feature that was introduced in Mac OS 26. This feature allows you to remotely control another Mac and hear VoiceOver through that Mac, as if you were at that Mac. You can even select a different voice, or if you have low vision, change the cursor color. I'm going to first talk about the settings for screen sharing, and you can get to those by going to VoiceOver Utility with Control Option Function F8, or just Control Option F8, depending on your keyboard.VoiceOver: Opening VoiceOver Utility. Voice over utility, voice over utility, utility categories, row 1 of 12, general, selected, has keyboard focus.Levi/VoiceOver: So now we're in voiceover utility, and as you hear, it says general. And the easiest way to get to this is to interact with the table. In utility categories. And then press control, option, function, right arrow, or control, option, end on a desktop keyboard. Screen sharing, row 12 of 12. And there you are. Out of utility categories. So here you have the following options. You can use voiceover to control another Mac using screen sharing. Open screen sharing button. And that's one way you could open the screen sharing app. When interacting with a shared screen, heading. When interacting with a shared screen. No change. Speech pitch. Pop-up button. So if you wanted to, you could raise or lower the pitch. Menu. Three items. Checkmark. No change. Lower pitch. Lower pitch. Checkmark. No change. Raise pitch. Raise pitch. Checkmark. No change. Closing menu.Levi: I like it set to no change. And that's what I have the voice set to for screen sharing. I have it set to something different usually, but that's... You can also... You can have a default or any voice in your voice router. And this is the color of the voiceover cursor if you have low vision. So this controls how you want to switch back to controlling your device. The options are... So you can stop interacting and depending on the setting that will either stay in the shared screen or that will exit.Levi/VoiceOver: Menu, two items, check marks, days, and shared screen. Check marks, leaves, shared screen. Check marks, days, and shared screen. Closing. I like I said to that, and the way you return to your local device is control option,…
