In this podcast Jon Westfall and I discuss:

1. Upgrade notice just after firing up Audio Hijack to record this podcast
   What’s new in Audio Hijack 4
   $29 to upgrade. $64 for a new license
2. iFixit inks deal with Google – Any chance we’d ever see something like this from Apple or Microsoft? Or on other Google products than Pixel? Apple is launching something but we haven’t seen anything yet.
3. Ref: Nov. 17, 2021 Apple announces Self Service Repair
   Announced for early 2022. Still a no-show
4. 8 useful Apple Shortcuts. Some great ones here including quick access to the Built-in sounds (So you don’t have to go through accessibility to hear the ocean for a bit)
5. Jon started talking to an AI For Science… and to see if these things are any better than they used to be.

Jon Westfall and I are joined by old friends Jack Cook, Steven Hughes (who we last heard from in podcast 187 way back in Dec. 2016), and Don Sorcinelli to look back at the Boston Pocket PC Users Group that I was an admirer off. Unfortunately, I’m the only member of this podcast that did not actually attend any of their meetings! We also discuss:

1. Todd’s mini-rant about the reviving a Dell Inspiron 15 5500 (2015 model) by running Windows 10 system refresh and re-discovering that its magnet screen closure mechanism that shuts down if you are wearing a metallic/magnetic smartwatch band.
2. We also discovered that Microsoft Teams recently put a time limit (60 minutes) on group personal conference calls. It cut us off without warning after at 60 minutes!
3. Jon’s three questions for our panelists:
   What’s the best piece of hardware you’ve used in the past year – any type of device.
   What’s the best software find you’ve had?
   What’s the best tech accessory you’ve discovered?
4. Steven Hughes’ list of tech gadget/services recommendations!
   Hardware:
   Kia eNiro
   Dell 43-inch display
   Mouse Wrist Guard
   Software:
   Penbook for Windows
   Penbook for iOS (for iPad) there is a beta available for iPhone via their website https://user.camp/apps/penbook-ios/

Jon Westfall and I discuss:

1. Note: Thanks Paul Lawler for sitting in last week
2. Google Maps lost its sense of direction

3. Was not even aware of the gadget category. Expensive.
   The best headphones for sleeping in 2022
4. Apple Announcements: The Studio Display is tempting for Jon, but considering he already has 27 inch Apple Cinema Displays from 2010 that are still working fine with a USB C hub, he’s probably gonna stick with those a bit longer. And maybe permanently, because Apple doesn’t like certain things on their displays… like power buttons.
5. iOS/iPadOS Universal Control?
6. Data Jar app (Works with Shortcuts) (https://datajar.app)
