Podcasts about talk apple

Bart taught us about creating static sites with Jekyll and even how to create custom layouts using Bootstrap 5. We learned about Markdown files with YAML front matter and more. In this Tidbit, Bart walks us through how he used everything he learned and taught us to migrate his Let's Talk website from WordPress to Jekyll hosted on GitHub Pages. It's a fun episode because we learn what worked well, what slipped through the cracks, and what he forgot to do. He built up a lot of technical debt on Let's Talk with his Let's Talk Apple and Let's Talk Photography podcast posts, so he highly encourages you to fork the site and create pull requests to help him clean up the older posts. You can see how many posts need cleanup (mostly adding contributors) at lets-talk.ie/temp-episodes-to-review.html You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net.

In this episode We Re-launch the Podcast and talk Apple and and the need to upgrade our devices.

Carl & Eitan run through a number of topics, including F1's exciting box office performance, the (too early?) release of Nolan's The Odyssey teaser and new blood in Apple's executive layer. They also may now be a food podcast?

Not since Gutenberg's printing press has one human being's inventions improved the quality of life for people as much as Apple co-founder and principle creator Steve Wozniak.    Fortunately for me the Woz loves jokes, humor and comedy in general so after sending him several heart felt e-mails requesting to chat with him he agreed, so last week while I was performing in San Francisco I drove down to Cupertino to record this conversation while him. This conversation was recorded at the Mandarin Oriental restaurant where Steve asked me to meet him. There is pleasant violin based classic music playing in the background because the owner politely delinked my request to turn off the music.    Steve Wozniak is not only a creative genius who has improved human life more than any other human being in the last 300 years, he also loves and cherishes humor and the story tellers who create the jokes.    He is exciting to talk to because he thinks so fast and can convey complicated information in a very simple way to be understood universally. His genius is not exclusively bound to his inventions that will lead the world to higher plains of consciousness and communications but it is the basic fact that he is a good person who genuinely cares about helping dreamer people like me wherever he can. It is my pleasure to present to you now the one and only Steve Wozniak!   Intro song: Cutting Room (Hot Pants) – Oceanliners Movie clip from YouTube: Her TRAILER 1 (2013) - Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson Movie HD Movie clip from YouTube: Klaatu's warning Recorded in Cupertino, CA. January 2014.    [Original broadcast date: Jan 28 2015]    This is the output of OpenAI ChatGTP prompting to summarize the transcription:  This conversation with Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, touches on humor, technology, and personal philosophies. Key highlights: Humor and Pranks Wozniak loves jokes and pranks, sharing stories about altering iPads, high school stunts, and making counterfeit $2 bills. Humor keeps him optimistic and happy. Thoughts on Technology AI Concerns: Wozniak shares concerns about AI surpassing human control, aligning with fears from Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. He believes humanity's dependence on machines began with the Industrial Revolution. Privacy Advocacy: As a founder of the EFF, he champions internet freedom and user privacy, criticizing surveillance and censorship. Creativity Tools: Wozniak celebrates how Apple products empower creativity, describing computers as a "bicycle for the mind." Personal Insights Happiness: Optimism, humor, and calmness define his outlook. He avoids stress and focuses on enjoying life. Philosophy: Maintain youthful ideals, accept differences, and foster positive relationships. Closing Wisdom Stay curious, embrace creativity, and be kind to others. Humor and innovation are central to living a fulfilling life. Wozniak's blend of playfulness, intellect, and optimism offers both insight and inspiration.     Hooray for humanity!

Most folks expect some new Macs to shamble forth. Apple drops big hint October event will be Mac focused Apple invited the world to a product-launch event on October 30. And the invitation strongly suggests that new Macs will be on the agenda. Mark Gurman's tweets: “Apple's iMacs and MacBook Pros are in extremely short supply” “Apple has been testing M3 Max and M3 Pro 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros” “Apple has been planning an M3 iMac for a while […] No other major changes other than the chip” “Inventory of existing high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros — as well as the all-in-one iMac desktop — has dwindled at Apple stores as well as retailers” Monday's ‘Scary Fast' Macs could sport M3 chips after all After Apple invited the world to its Scary Fast product event Monday, speculation turned more seriously to the idea that newly announced Macs might sport faster new M3 chips rather than versions of the current M2 series chips. MacRumors: OLED iPad and MacBook Rumored to Feature Specialized Display Materials Apple has apparently collaborated with LG Display to integrate new OLED material sets in some of its future devices, including forthcoming iPad Pro and MacBook models. AirPods 4 could deliver active noise cancellation AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 will get the axe in 2024 to be replaced with a fourth generation that will come in two versions, according to an unconfirmed report from Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. One AirPods 4 model will offer ANC and have a charging case that supports the Find My app. A cheaper version will not have either feature. Apple raises rates for Apple TV+ and other services by up to 40% The cost of watching Apple TV+ series and movies just went up 40%. […] The price for Apple Arcade, Apple News+ and Apple One also increased. But the cost of other services, like Apple Music, remains the same.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss our expectations about Apple's upcoming "Scary Fast" event, which is widely rumored to see the announcement of new Mac models. We talk through the unusual nature of the event, with Apple announcing it less than one week in advance, opting for an unorthodox 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time start, and even offering an explicit nod to the arrival of new Macs with a Finder easter egg. The event is expected to see the debut of the M3 chip and some of its more powerful variants. Two Mac models are currently in the running to be announced, with the iMac and high-end MacBook Pro rumored to be on the table. We also discuss our feelings about the AirPods Max as we approach three years since their introduction and more. The MacRumors Show is now on X @macrumorsshow, so be sure to give us a follow to keep up with the podcast! You can also view this week's episode on our NEW YouTube channel!

Hugh Millen joins the show to recap the college football weekend. He tells the guys what he saw in the Huskies' first game and what we can take away from it considering where Boise State is this year. He tells you about the concerns he had early on in the game against Boise State. We are gearing up for the Seahawks game this weekend and give a preview of what to expect. Dick doesn't like that there is no NFL on during Labor Day weekend, but Softy brings up the point that nobody is going to compete with the NFL. Dick sees missed opportunities in college football too. UW's President Ana Mari Cauce says she's ok with continuing the Apple Cup in Seattle and Pullman every other year. Softy and Dick think there's still merit to playing the game.

Sometimes appears on Bart Busschots' Let's Talk Apple APPLE Updated 13-inch MacBook Pro Dumps Butterfly Keyboard, Doubles Storage – TidBITS SSD REPLACEMENT Suffolk Pete: A few months ago I bought MacBook Air 2014 that ‘broke' when I tried to encrypt the SSD with FileVault. After talking to Mark at Suffolk Macs I decided to replace the ‘blade style' SSD. A little research soon showed that : Apple use a completely proprietary chip in the 2104 model with a non standard pin arrangement. Third party manufacturers have started to make adapters & even chips that mimic the Apple SSD. Plenty of people report problems using these 3rd party chips. I decided to stick with an Apple SSD. my Go-To store for 2nd hand parts is The Bookyard, they even format & install OS X on it for you! I purchased a 256GB recycled module that was pulled from a working MBA and guaranteed for 3 months. This also doubled my storage capacity. I had to buy the tools to take the back off the Air, because though I've taken apart several Macs & have a lot of tools, the Air uses 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws. Thanks to iFixIt I had a working MBA running 10.14 in about 15 minutes. All in all a good result!
