The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

The story of Abraham and Sarah begins not with certainty, but with faith, hesitation, and the courage to take the smallest of steps toward a bigger promise.In this opening message of our Big Promises, Small Steps series, Pastor Jeremy Duncan explores how the grand narrative of God's reconciliation—what Paul calls “the healing of all things”—begins with a single family leaving home, not knowing where they're going.Through themes like “When the Moon Hits Your Eye,” “Stuck in the Middle with You,” and “Everything We Leave Behind,” this sermon invites us to reflect on the slow, unfolding nature of faith — and the ways God meets us in our pauses, transitions, and in-between spaces.Maybe you're in your own “Haran” moment — waiting, wondering, unsure what's next. This message will remind you that even when the surface is still, sacred work is happening beneath your feet.

“When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small.”

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I received an email from Frank K4FMH asking me about an idea I'd worked on some time ago, namely the notion that I might monitor solar flux at home using a software defined radio. At the time I was attempting to get some software running on my PlutoSDR and got nowhere fast. Before I continue, a PlutoSDR, or more formally an ADALM Pluto Active Learning Module by Analog Devices, is both a computer and a software defined radio receiver and transmitter in a cute little blue box. I've talked about this device before. It's an open design, which means that both the software and hardware are documented and available straight from the manufacturer. Out of the box it covers 325 MHz to 3.8 GHz. You can connect to a PlutoSDR using USB or via the network, wireless or Ethernet, though I will mention that neither of those last two is currently working for me, but more on that later. Encouraged by Frank's email, I set out to explore further and came across a 2019 European GNU Radio days workshop, which discussed some of the tools that are available for the PlutoSDR, accompanied by two PDF documents walking you through the experience. One comment around why the PlutoSDR uses networking as one of the connectivity options spoke to me. From a usability perspective, networking makes it easier to access the PlutoSDR from a virtual machine, since most of the time that already has network connectivity, whereas USB often requires drivers. As you might recall, network connectivity is one of the many things that I'm trying to achieve with a project that I'm calling Bald Yak, since by the time we're done, there's not going to be much hair left from all the Yak Shaving. The Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. As a result, I set about trying to actually walk myself through those PDF tutorials .. and got stuck on the first sentence on the first page, which helpfully states: "The necessary prerequisites have been installed on the local lab machine." It went on to supply a link to a page with instructions on how to acquire those very same prerequisites. Two days later, after much trial and error, I can now report that I too have these installed and because I cannot help myself, I made it into a Docker container and published this on my VK6FLAB GitHub page. To put it mildly, there's a few moving parts and plenty of gotchas. As an aside, if you think that installing Docker is harder than installing these tools, I have some news for you .. trust me .. by a long shot .. it's not. Right now I'm working on writing the documentation that accompanies this project such that you can actually use it without needing to bang your head against the desk in frustration. Mind you, the documentation part of this is non-trivial. For reasons I don't yet understand, my Pluto does not want to talk to the network directly over either WiFi or Ethernet, and connecting over USB through a virtual machine inside a Docker container is giving me headaches, so right now I'm connected across the network to a Raspberry Pi that's physically connected to the Pluto. As a result, I can now use the tools inside my Docker container, connected to the Pluto through the Pi and if you're curious, 'iiod' is the tool to make that happen .. more documentation. At this point you might well ask, why bother? This is a fair question. Let me see if I can give you an answer that will satisfy. Monitoring solar flux typically occurs at 2.8 GHz, which is outside the range of RTL-SDR dongles which top out at about 1.7 GHz. For the PlutoSDR however, it's almost perfectly within the standard frequency range. One of the tools that is introduced by the talk is an application called 'iio-scope', which as the name suggests, is an oscilloscope for 'iio' or Industrial I/O devices, of which the PlutoSDR is one. As an aside, the accelerometer in your laptop, the battery voltage, the CPU temperatures, fans, and plenty of others, are all 'iio' devices that you can look at with various tools. So, once I've finished the tutorials, I suspect that I will understand a little better how some of the various parts of the PlutoSDR hang together, and I can set it up to monitor 2.8 GHz. Of course, that's only step one, the next step is to make a Raspberry Pi record the power levels over time, better still, record it on the PlutoSDR itself, and see if we can actually notice any change .. without requiring anything fancy like a special antenna, some massive filters, a special mount and all the other fun and games that no doubt will reveal themselves in good time. It also means that, if I got this right, I have the beginnings of the bits needed to get the PlutoSDR to talk to GNU Radio. Why? Because I can, and because Frank asked, also Yak Shaving.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Jeff Gamet, Chuck Joiner, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Ben Roethig. covers Apple's new Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and MacBook Pro M5, along with reactions to the Apple TV rebrand, AirPods Pro 3 inflight experiences, and iOS 26.1 beta updates.

The panel dives into the launch of the Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and 14-inch MacBook Pro M5, exploring how Apple's latest chip is showing up everywhere—from spatial computing to creative workflows. Marty admits to pre-ordering the new Vision Pro while having blood drawn, leading to the episode's funniest moment (“They took my blood, I gave Apple my money”). Jeff immediately volunteers to be Marty's “no-good son” to inherit the old headset, sparking laughter about “device reallocation” policies. Discussion turns to the Vision Pro's new dual-knit band and Hover headset accessory, which redistributes weight to the crown of the head. Dave likens it to “flipping up granny sunglasses,” while Ben compares it to wearing “night-vision goggles.” Chuck's wise counsel: “Wait for the M5 Pro—patience beats payment.” MacBook Pro M5 specs are examined in detail—10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24-hour battery life (cue the joke: “if you never touch it”), and no Wi-Fi 7 support. Marty shares his “trade-up philosophy” while Jeff laments his $800 trade-in offer: “It lost that much value that fast?” Chuck recommends Apple's refurb store, calling it “the best deal Apple doesn't advertise.” The crew also explores the iPad Pro M5, agreeing that performance gains are meaningful but most users won't need to upgrade. Jill admits her iPad mostly serves as a “sleep-aid game console,” while Eric says Vision Pro has cut into his tablet use entirely. Other highlights:     •    Vision Pro M5's 120 Hz refresh rate and better cooling.     •    No Wi-Fi 6E bump—for $3,500, that drew audible groans.     •    AI readiness of the M5 chip sparks debate on whether Apple even has an “AI strategy.”     •    Apple TV's rebranding from “TV+” to “Apple TV,” which the panel calls “peak confusion.”     •    AirPods Pro 3 flight test: Marty's seal so tight it caused ear “pop-pop-pop” moments, while Dave says noise-canceling on planes “kills all sound, including your will to chat.”   Topics and Links Breaking News  Apple Debuts New iPad Pro With M5 Chip, Faster Charging, and More Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support Here's Everything Apple Announced Today  In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support

What if the reason your podcast & content isn't growing… has nothing to do with the content? Today in Content Is Profit, we're diving into a question that's been going around in our world lately: What are we missing when it comes to content and podcasting today? This conversation got sparked from a spicy debate inside a mastermind, and a few gold nuggets we pulled from Casey Neistat's recent chat with Colin & Samir. Let's just say—there's more going on than most creators realize. We're pulling back the curtain on: Why so many shows stall out after just a few episodes Where creators are hitting friction (even when they're “doing everything right”) And the hidden gaps no one's talking about when it comes to turning content into real business results No fluff. Just real stories from our studio, hard-earned lessons, and a few hot takes that might make you rethink your approach. If you're building a show—or thinking about it—this episode might be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. Hit play. Let's talk about what's really holding creators back.

Behind the Screen: The Impact of Cyberbullying on Adolescents and Teens Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat83 Target Audience             This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of NeedThis will be a two-part podcast that will focus on the psychological effects of cyberbullying and AI companions. This will be specific to adolescents and teens. As a result of the growing prevalence in digital engagement, a by-product has been cyberbullying.

Additionally, with the growing popularity of AI companions a second podcast will address this topic. Both podcasts will address the psychological effects and provide tools for providers to use to screen for subtle signs as well as resources. Objectives  Define cyberbullying and distinguish its varying levels of severity. Describe the psychological effects of cyberbullying and differentiate its impact from traditional bullying in pediatric populations.

Summary In Episode 390 of In Touch With iOS, host Dave Ginsburg is joined by Jill McKinley, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Ben Roethig to tackle Apple's latest updates with a mix of analysis and humor. The panel begins with VisionOS 26.1 beta 2, highlighting improved game controller responsiveness and Apple's new immersive films—from Hawaii's volcanoes to Maine's autumn colors. Marty jokes Apple just used the Photos app's magic wand to turn summer into fall, while the group teases about running out of U.S. states to film. They also discuss the quirky Hover strap accessory that “flips up like old-man sunglasses” with ad copy quoting “When a problem comes along, you must flip it.” iOS 26.1 beta 2 gets attention for bigger alarm buttons, a snooze/stop redesign, and expanded Apple Intelligence languages. On iPad, the return of Slide Over sparks relief, while microphone gain control earns praise for podcasters. Apple's Fitness app adds custom workouts, and AirPods Pro 3 receive a firmware update. Marty shares a hilarious inflight story: the new seal was so tight his ears went “poppity, poppity, poppity” during descent. The crew explores iPhone 17's USB-C capabilities—charging AirPods, external displays, Ethernet, even other iPhones. Jeff jokes about using USB-C mics for bird-watching apps, while Eric tests charging his Apple Watch directly from the iPhone. Other highlights: Amazon Prime splurges (camera arms, Stream Decks, car jumpers, and audio gear). Tag Heuer's $1,600 Connected E5 smartwatch, now iPhone-certified—“a $1,600 dongle for your wrist.” Apple's Colorado outdoor influencer event (hiking + AirPods demos). Cosmic Orange skins from Dbrand, prompting jokes about spray-tanning MacBooks or eating Cheetos near your iPhone. Liquid Glass design spreading to more Apple apps. CarPlay tensions: Rivian's refusal, Aston Martin as the lone CarPlay Ultra supporter, and frustration over automakers backtracking. Jeff warns CarPlay Ultra might never gain widespread adoption unless Apple compromises. The panel closes with laughs about hidden iPhone call history (“your spouse's attorney already knows”), cosmic orange hunting gear, and CarPlay Ultra being more elusive than a lottery win.

In this solo episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Boivin explores how tiny, consistent actions can create extraordinary change. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this conversation is for you. Laurel shares stories from her own journey—including the lessons learned while walking 1,500 miles in a single year—and client experiences that show how starting small builds momentum, confidence, and self-trust. You'll discover: * Why small, ordinary steps are more powerful than giant leaps * How consistency shapes confidence and strengthens self-trust * The importance of celebrating progress as much as setting goals * Practical ways to recommit when you've fallen out of rhythm * Journaling prompts to help you gain clarity and take your next step Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration: 1. Where do I feel overwhelmed by the size or magnitude of the change I want to make in my life? 2. What's one step I could take in the next 24 hours to move toward my goal? 3. What kind of support do I need to keep going day after day? (Do I need a system, a tool, or a person?) 4. How would my life feel if I trusted that small steps are enough to accomplish what I want to accomplish? 5. How does it feel to be more confident and have more self-trust, knowing that I have the ability to do what I set out to do?

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alan Gregerman, an internationally recognized authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential within all of us. Known as the “Robin Williams of Business Consulting,” Alan brings humor, humanity, and deep insight into how we can adapt, grow, and innovate in a world changing faster than ever before. I couldn't wait to share this podcast with you! My friend and innovation mentor, Alan Gregerman, joined me on On the Brink with Andi Simon for a stimulating conversation that digs into the interesting challenges facing all those who want to find their own best way of innovating. The "Robin Williams of Business Consulting," Alan injects humor, humanity, and leading-edge thinking into the brutal truth about how we need to adapt, change & innovate so now we win in a world changing faster than ever. Alan's latest book, "The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be a Catalyst for Innovation in an Uncertain World," reminds us that our lack of knowledge can be the source of the greatest discovery. During our conversation, we discussed his unique personal journey, his desire to help others reinvent themselves, and the most critical skills for all of us to cultivate to succeed in a world of disruptions. Curiosity Begins Early Alan revealed that his interest in other cultures began in early life. His mother, a specialist in world history, and one cherished gift — an atlas — prompted him never to stop learning and exploring. That early sense of curiosity would eventually form the basis of his career: to help businesses and individuals look beyond what they know, he tells them, to find new ideas in unexpected places. This investigative spirit has characterized his writing, from Lessons from the Sandbox (about reclaiming the creativity of childhood) to Surrounded by Geniuses (on how ordinary people and ideas can spur innovation) to The Necessity of Strangers (for why we must connect with people unlike ourselves). Now, with The Wisdom of Ignorance, he contends that expertise is not sufficient: we must develop the courage to say "I don't know" and use that humility to drive our future expos. Why Adults Resist Change A common refrain in our conversations was how hard it is to make a change. Alan reminded us that whereas 10% of people are quick to embrace new concepts, and another 10% resist vigorously, the rest of us tend to be somewhere in between. This resistance is not only cultural — it's neurological. Because our brains are wired to conserve energy, they will always prefer established habits over new things to learn. It's why Alan emphasized that innovation frequently demands creating small, quantifiable experiments. We can try ideas out incrementally rather than insisting on wholesale change overnight. These experiments help build confidence, reduce fear, and allow us to adjust more organically to the world as it changes. Watch our video of our podcast on YouTube. Wisdom of Ignorance Alan's methodology is based on what he dubs the six fundamental skills for flourishing in uncertain times. Central to them is purpose. Without something transformative and exciting enough to wake up for, innovation merely wanders around aimlessly. Clarity of purpose, whether it's in a for-profit or not-for-profit organization, is what leads to curiosity and experimentation, which begets growth. "When I speak with people at non-profits, one of the common themes you'll hear is a greater sense of purpose than businesses," Alan says that both sectors need to revisit and sharpen their "why constantly." "Best is a space that's kind of a moving target," as he put it. What works today is no guarantee of relevance tomorrow, and without purpose, even the greatest idea can lose its impact. The Six Essential Capabilities of an Innovative Organization Alan boiled it down to six related skills - all of which are the building blocks of his book and consulting practice: 1. Purposefulness – Commit to something worth doing that is meaningful. 2. Curiosity – Ask for inspiration and you will find it, remembering that behind most great ideas is the thinking of others. 3. Humility – Acknowledge we don't have all the answers, discovery starts with an open mind. 4. Respect – Respect everybody and everything, they are coming from somewhere unexpected. 5. Focus Forward – Peer into the future with a focus on newer trends, cultures, and ideas. 6. Paranoia: Stay aware of the fact that competitors and threats are always on your heels. These habits together prompt us to adopt what Santayana gleefully termed "enlightened ignorance" — a stance that appreciates not knowing as yet as the beginning rather than the end of knowledge. Lessons for Leaders As an anthropologist, Alan's take felt eerily familiar. We both believe that growth is often staring organizations in the face, disguised in plain sight — if only they can look beyond their routines and assumptions. Leaders need to push teams out of their comfort zones, provoke new ways of thinking, and acknowledge progress along the journey. Alan cautioned us that our customers aren't loyal because they're devoted to us — they stay with us because switching to another provider seems more complex. But they'll leave as soon as something better comes along. Innovation, therefore, isn't optional. It's survival. Human-Centered Change All this talk of disruption nowadays is mainly centered on technology — and current trend words like AI, Bitcoin, blockchain, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution — but Alan warned us to remember that much more critical forms of change are human and social. From changing values across generations to increasing loneliness and shifting work habits post-COVID, leaders need to pay attention to the people side of transformation. He urges us to reach out to strangers, listen more closely, and pay attention to the subtle signs of change that are all around us. In it, we can transform ignorance into discovery and shape futures that count. A Final Thought Alan's lesson is that you don't have to have all the answers in your mind to do something remarkable. All you need is a sense of purpose, curiosity, humility, respect for others, and a focus on the future — together with just enough paranoia to keep you from being complacent. Most of all, you need to warm up to the wisdom that eighth graders get every single day going into high school: not knowing. For, as these people remind us: "We all actually do have the ability to make a difference. It's something we can attain if we engage in a few crucial behaviors each day." His new book, The Wisdom of Ignorance, was published on October 14 and is available wherever fine books are sold. Key Takeaways: • Lean into what you don't know — that's where the wonder is, and that's where you'll feel becoming. • Purpose orients; small experiments build confidence. • Remain curious, humble, respectful of norms and traditions while remaining future-oriented, and a bit paranoid. • The human and social change is at least as important as the technological disruption. • Each and every one can make a difference one step at a time.

Making big lifestyle changes in midlife can feel overwhelming, especially during the transition through menopause. This is why the science of behavior change consistently points to the power of small, sustainable steps. Research shows that when goals are broken down into manageable pieces, women are more likely to stick with them, build confidence, and create lasting change. Instead of relying on willpower or the “all or nothing” approach, starting small creates momentum that compounds over time, leading to measurable improvements in health, mood, and resilience.In this episode of the Health Trip Podcast, I give you three steps to consider using to make new healthy habits stick for the long haul. For women in midlife, this approach isn't just about building healthier habits—it's about reshaping your future health trajectory. Small steps reduce overwhelm, align with your values, and build a foundation of confidence. The result is a lifestyle that not only eases menopausal symptoms but also supports long-term health, longevity, and quality of life.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.

Next, they dive into iOS 26.1, iPadOS, and macOS Tahoe updates, highlighting live translation in AirPods Pro 3, Safari tweaks, and the long-awaited digital passport in Wallet—sparking a hilarious debate about whether TSA, Minnesota, or cable companies would ever accept it.

That overwhelming sense of despair—beyond mere sadness—is what we tackle head-on in this powerful episode.The journey through depression's darkest valleys requires us to become change agents in our own lives. When everything feels impossible, remember this transformative truth: the darkest hour only has 60 minutes. Time continues to pass, bringing with it the potential for change, but that change rarely happens without our participation. Even the smallest actions—taking a shower, walking to the mailbox, or warming up leftovers—create momentum toward recovery when depression has you pinned down.We explore why incremental steps matter so profoundly during mental health struggles. The sedentary lifestyle that often accompanies depression creates a vicious cycle: physical inactivity leads to muscle aches, lack of nutrition depletes energy, and isolation deepens despair. Breaking this cycle requires conscious effort, especially when it feels impossible. Sometimes depression wins the day, and that's okay—retreating temporarily to gather strength for tomorrow is part of the journey. What matters most is that we don't permanently surrender to despair.Our greatest struggles often become our most powerful testimonies. Though it may not feel possible in the moment, the challenges we overcome strengthen our resilience and equip us to help others facing similar battles. When overwhelmed by negative thoughts, we must intentionally redirect our focus—perhaps by turning on music, engaging in a different activity, or deliberately choosing positive thoughts.Ready to transform your mental wellness journey?

The discussion covers the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Pro and Pro Max models powered by the A19 Pro chip, upgraded camera systems, and improved thermal cooling. Panelists debate upgrade cycles, storage needs, and even whether “pumpkin spice” (aka orange) should count as a phone color. We also break down the debut of the iPhone Air, Apple's thinnest iPhone yet, with its titanium build, new C1X modem, and unique design choices (including that hump). Is it just a super-thin marvel—or half of a future foldable iPhone? Opinions differ! Next up, the AirPods Pro 3 bring stronger noise cancellation, a heart rate sensor, and game-changing live translation features. The crew weighs whether these are must-have upgrades or evolutionary refinements. Finally, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 take center stage, with blood pressure monitoring, sleep score features, and battery improvements sparking debate about health tracking and who benefits most from the new models.
