 It's time for Mac GeekGab and I'll bring us our quick tip of the week on your Mac. Go into system preferences, system settings, whatever version of the OS you're running. Go into privacy and look at every category and make sure all the apps that you want enabled for things like full disk access and accessibility and all of those things. Make sure the ones that you want enabled are enabled. I did it this morning on two of my Macs and there were like four things in a few different categories that I wanted enabled. I swear I enabled them at some point, but no, they were not enabled. More quick tips like this plus your questions answered today on Mac GeekGab nine eighty nine for Monday, July third twenty twenty three. Folks and welcome to Mac GeekGab, the show where you send in your tips like that, you send in your questions, you send in your cool stuff found. We take all of those things. We string them together into a thoughtfully created agenda that sometimes we completely abandon mid show. So that we can each be sure that we learn at least five new things every single time we get together sponsors for this episode include HelloFresh where you go to HelloFresh.com slash MGG five zero and use code MGG five zero four fifty percent off plus free shipping. We'll talk more in depth about that in a little bit for now here in Durham, New Hampshire. I'm Dave Hamilton. And here in Lee, New Hampshire, it's Pilot Pete. Welcome, everybody. Welcome indeed. Yeah, let's do this thing. How goes how goes with you today, Pilot Pete? All things being unequal, good. I'm starting to catch my own tail. I chased it around the world or I actually did a slingshot. I went all the way to Singapore, eastbound, and then all the way back. Oh, so you went you went east out and west back? Yes. So three quarters of a way around the world, all the way to Singapore. And actually, that's about halfway, because we were exactly 12 hours out, as I recall. That's right. We were 12 hours off from each other. That's why I recorded in Hong Kong last week. So that's right. Yeah. So I'm starting to catch my own tail and figure out what time zone my brain is in. Well, when you when you when you figure it out, let us know. You know, the sad thing is when I was in my forties, I could recover from a trip like that in about two days. And now it takes a little longer. It I noticed. Yeah. I noticed when I turned 40 that I'm even going out to California, I needed something to help regulate my sleep patterns on the road. Otherwise, I was I was a mess. It was Chris Breen who who sort of pointed me down that path because he saw me a few days into a macro. That's why he's like, you don't look so good. Are you OK? I'm like, I've been sleeping about two hours a night. He's like, yeah, you might want to fix that. Yeah. There you go. OK. Medical, the medical geek gap then. Yeah, the old guy, medical geek gap. Yeah, exactly. Melatonin is what I use. And I used to not take it when I'd wake up at three in the morning. Come on. I don't want to be all sleepy. Taxidermal sunlight and coffee will wash the melatonin away and you're good to go. So it's something you can safely take if you're trying to sleep in the middle of the night. You know, there you go. I take I take a melatonin and CBD combination thing now. And it is perfect. It's great for me. You know, you've got to know how CBD affects you because we're all different in that regard. But I'll put a link to the one I take in the show notes. Again, there you go. Pilots don't do that. I understand the FAA doesn't think it's funny and it is not an excuse. Should you pop positive for THC? I just use CBD. Nope, not an excuse. You're bad excuse. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of time zones, we are doing a Hangout this coming Sunday, July 9th at 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. And we have settled the eight. Is it 8 p.m. UTC? Is that right? Are we only four hours off in the summer? OK. And we have picked the topic. It is shortcuts. So come prepared to share any shortcuts that you use. And of course, you know, learn from all of us. These Hangouts are very much a many to many conversation. We do them in Zoom. The link will be in the calendar. So if you subscribe to the Mackie Keb calendar at mackiekeb.com slash calendar, you will have the Zoom link right there in the calendar. We will also post it in our Discord at mackiekeb.com slash discord. And so you will need the passcode. It's in the calendar. It's in the Discord. I just can't put it on like Twitter, Facebook, or even probably Mastodon. Oh, you can. The results are bad. The results are not optimal. Yeah. It's, um, it's, it was bad. It was a bad. Before you come to the shortcuts Hangout, go find Max Barkey's Field Guide on shortcuts. Oh, yeah. Right. Do some homework before you get there and you'll be more ready. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's, yeah, that's great. Yeah. I'll put a link to all of those things in the show notes. In fact, they are there. Uh, the first slash next quick tip, quick tip is from listener Ben who says, I found a new shortcut, speaking of, this is more just a keyboard shortcut. Hold down command and option and click a folder in the dock. And that will open the folder in the finder. Very cool. And he says that's listed in 80 shades of option key, which we will also link to. But yeah, option, click a dock folder and it will simply open it, uh, right there in the finder. So very cool. I appreciate it. I, I love, I love shortcuts like that. And that option key is, uh, that's the closest thing to magic on. Yeah, exactly. That there is. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, all right. We will keep on trucking here. Chicago Tom has one for actual shortcuts and, uh, he tells us or reminds us that you can use the terminal to, uh, run a shortcut. You simply open up a terminal session. You do shortcuts, space, run space, quote, unquote, the name of your shortcut within quotes. And there you go. And he also reminds us that if you're in the terminal typing man, space shortcuts will give you even more options that you can do with the shortcuts command there in the, in the terminal. So who just thought they to me that a command? Yeah. Well, I, you know, what's nice about that. And I know you can, you can run shortcuts from Apple script. But what's nice about things like that is you can always run shell scripts, AKA terminal commands from lots of different languages, not just Apple script, not just automator, but all sorts of things. And so having that ability. And I think this is why a lot of these command line tools get built so that even without an official API from your language of choice to something, say shortcuts, you have this. And you can definitely do that. You know, you're not gonna necessarily get, you know, bi-directional data back and forth. You're gonna have to sort of figure that out on your own. But at least you can trigger a shortcut from any language. You know, because the tool is there, it's on every Mac after whatever point they put it on there. I don't know, but, but yeah. So, so that's, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that, to me, that's, I think that's why they do these things is, is that. So, speaking of command line stuff, lawyer Jeff wrote in with what I call the cool stuff found, but we'll put it here because it just fits. He found a page that is the advanced Mac OS command line tools and it is full of some fantastic command line stuff that you can do on the Mac, the command caffeinate, PB copy and PB paste for using the clipboard, network quality, Sips, which I always forget about for image manipulation, all kinds of different things. So, first of all, I love this and I've got it bookmarked now and you can too. Just go to mackeykev.com or mgg.fm slash 989. That will get you right to this or subscribe to the newsletter that we have and you will get these show notes with these links in your email box every week. What I love even more about this is that lawyer Jeff, longtime listener, sent us this and it was created by Surab, another Mac, Mackey Kev listener, longtime listener, contributor in our Discord. So it was like the perfect little circle of Mackey Kev life and made me very happy. I'm like, wait a minute, I think I know who created this because I was reading through it. So, yeah, I love the Mackey Kev family and I love when it works out that way and lawyer Jeff didn't know. Like he was like, oh, I just stumbled on it. I had no idea who created it. So, cool stuff in there for sure, which is why I would have called it a cool stuff family. Yep, speaking of keyboard shortcuts, while still on keyboard shortcuts, Chicago Tom delivers again. He says, I got tired of reaching for my mouse to activate Siri on my Mac. So I went poking around in settings looking for a better way. Did you know that if you press command space and hold it for a couple of seconds, that activates Siri. Alternatively, you could use spotlight and type Siri and it will launch the Siri.app, which will prompt you to dictate commands. Yeah, so this can be said in your Macs, go into system preferences, system settings, go to Siri and spotlight and you have the option to set a keyboard shortcut for Siri and there are four of them that, or well three and then you get to customize. So I guess four. So you can hold the microphone button on your keyboard if in fact you have one of those. If you don't, as Chicago Tom says, you can choose command space, which is kind of a handy thing to remember because you got command space for spotlight. Yeah, and then if you hold it down, okay, well now you're in Siri mode. Option space if you want. There's something else and I don't even know what this command is. Oh, it's like the keyboard button and space. So I think that's the keyboard button and space. I don't know. It's a circle with like two dotted lines in the middle. That's the function key, no. No. I think it's the keyboard like switcher button. I think that's what that is. But if you don't have that on your keyboard, then don't use that. And then there is the option to customize it so you can kind of do whatever you want. And I always thought the keyboard input for the S-Lady was kind of redundant. The whole point of that is to be able to speak it. However, you got to then watch if you even say the word seriously. Yeah. Because the next thing you know. Yeah, I have. I have not my Mac is always close enough to me. I've never used Siri on my Mac. Do you use Siri on your Mac, Pete? Almost never. Yeah, I think when I've, you know, played with something, either answering a question or I want to see if this will work or that'll work. But yeah, almost never. Usually it's the watch or the phone occasionally on the iPad. Yeah, right. Yeah. OK, so I'm in the same boat. I don't even think I have like I certainly don't have it set to listen for for the, you know, the command. I have my phone set to listen for. Oh, same. Yeah. But and then the watch, I think you press and hold the crown. You can do that. Or you can you can raise your watch and say the command, hey, followed by the Siri. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, I don't. I certainly don't have that audible listening happening on my Mac for that. But I think there might be times where I could be more efficient telling it to do something with Siri as opposed to like doing a thing. So I got I need to experiment with with triggering Siri from the keyboard and see like where my where my life goes. I think you're right. Although, you know, it tends to go back to that discussion that we've had prior that, you know, you're more efficient until you're not. And then the next, you know, next thing, you know, you're in a urination contest with your computer trying to get it to do what you wanted it to do. What all you had to do was was tell it to do it. You know, I got thinking the command. Yeah. You know, I have my start the day script. And and, you know, I use the mouse to trigger that from the keyboard maestro menu. I could trigger that with, you know, a voice command. So I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I need to it's one of those things. I try to make sure I don't get I don't fall into the trap of I've never done it this way. Therefore, I don't need to do it that way, right? Like it is I like to be able to experience it and then say, OK, I've done it and decided that I have a different way that it's more efficient for me, as opposed to just presuming that without, you know, presuming with ignorance, right? I'd rather presume with experience or not presumed with ignorance, but but actually decide with experience. So there you go. I do I do need to I do need to play with that because I did play with it a little bit when it was first on the Mac. And I was like, I don't this doesn't make sense for me. But maybe I need to find a couple of things. Feedback at Mackey.com. Folks, if you are using Siri on your Mac, tell us how I would love to know. Yeah, tell us at feedback at Mackey.com. It's feedback at Mackey.com. That's where Martin sent in the next quick tip, which he says a tip you'll hardly use. He is right. But knowing that you can do this is has been powerful for me. He says, I am presently crossing the Atlantic by ocean liner. And the problem here is that the time is changing by one hour per day. So he's just slowly marching across the Atlantic. One hour per day is what the time zone changes. Despite having Wi-Fi and cell service, the iPhone can't find a reference point to make this change automatically. I've been plugging in odd geographic locations as kind of a hack. But today, someone showed me how to change the time manually. But a settings general date and time. If you haven't already, switch it to set the time manually. The time zone is displayed in blue and below that the date and time. Long press on the time and a keyboard with dates will open up. The time is in the lower right hand corner. Change the time by spinning the wheel. Go back one screen to general and the time you choose will now be displayed. You can also change the date by touching the date you want. Your Apple Watch will pick up the cue and automatically match the date and time on your phone. I've done this just by manually changing the time zone. I've done it on airplanes, where I know that I want to know what the time is going to be when we land, you know, like I when I when I wear a a, you know, a manual watch on a plane, like not a smartwatch. As soon as we take off, I set the time for my destination, right? So that I have that. There you go. I often like to have that going on my phone and on my watch, too. So what I will do is change it into manual, set the time zone for the destination and then change it back to automatic. And usually it doesn't switch back, even if it's on the plane's Wi-Fi. And then, boom, when I land, I'm, you know, kind of already in in in that mode. So I was right. It's a trip. It's a tip you will hardly use, but it is good to know that you can do it. So don't forget that you've done it so that you can switch it back to automatic. Well, that's why as soon as I change the time zone, I change it back to automatic immediately so that I don't forget. Yeah, because otherwise you're right. There you go. I've had a rare occasion where I've had it mid-flight. My watch will change to the base. I'm assuming based on GPS. That's what I was assumed. But most of the time it stays at my takeoff time until I turn the phone on after landing. I'm going to ask a question that you you may have to give a certain answer, even if it's not the correct answer. Do you leave your watch? Do you put your watch in airplane mode or is it is it getting some kind of signal? OK, no, I always leave it Bluetooth to my telephone. Oh, right, because your watch doesn't have a cell signal on it. So it's it's it's Wi-Fi. Yeah, OK. Yeah, yeah. And then, but, you know. So I think at some point we were told to turn our iPads or cellular. And I think at some point we were told to turn those to airplane mode. But the tracking, it was, you know, obviously turning off the Wi-Fi and then the Bluetooth and the signals weren't good. And I think anyone just leave everyone just leaves it wide open right now. And you know, people are leaving their cell phones on. And certainly and intentionally. And I think all the engineers have proven that no longer interferes with the well, shouldn't interfere with the radar altimeter and the reception of the other things, although the whole 5G thing. And that's a another big to use my earlier term. Euronation contest between the FCC and the FAA. Right, right. And for whether or not, you know, is it too close where the signals aimed and interfered and they've proven that does interfere with the radar altimeter, which is critical in really low light or low visibility when you can't see the runway. You're counting on that thing to tell you exactly how many feet you are. Well, not you telling the autopilot how many feet it is above the runway so that it can properly flare and set the airplane down on the runway in an automatic landing. Huh. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. But I think you're right. Like we've we've proven that people leaving their phones on doesn't cause planes to fall out of the sky. I mean, it just by nature of like you said, even the unintentional. I mean, I've done it where I forget, you know, I'm in the middle of whatever and they do the announcement and you're like, yep, and they've done that and whatever. And then suddenly engineers. I know they've gone over it. What happens if 400 phones are on it, trying to get a signal? They've had to do that or they would, you know. Of course. Yes. Of course they have. Right. That's a that's a really fair point. Yeah. Of course they have. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We got a couple more quick tips. We'll blow through these. I love I love all the quick tips. Ben in discord says on iPhone and iPad, there's a setting to change the speed of the long press response. In Iowa 16 and earlier, the choices are slow and fast. Nine to five Mac has pointed out that in Iowa 17, you get a third option of a faster or something like that or slower. I don't know. There's a third option and you can set this now. You go to settings, accessibility, touch, haptic touch, and you can make a long press take less time on your phone fast. I believe fast is the default. But you can change it to slow and there is a fast is is the new default or whatever on the the next on Iowa 17. And you can make it even faster with Iowa 17, as I understand it. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So haptic is an adjective relating to the sense of touch or tactile. So they may as well just call it touch, touch, just saying. Touch, touch. Haptic touch, haptic is relating to touch or the sense of touch. Yeah. OK, you know, I'm I'm sorry. I just know I appreciate the word haptic because I'm sitting here and going, what is haptic? I've never, you know, before smartphones, I've never heard the word haptic. OK. What's haptic? Oh, it really is a sense of touch. Well, then it's touch touch. They should have called it touch. It's a fancy way of seeing feedback for your touch. Yeah. The science of touch. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Hey, hey, hang on. There we go. Now you've learned. We've all learned something new. I bet the vast majority had no idea where the word haptic came from. New. I'm not I'm not sure. Not any. I didn't say useful. Thank you. That's right. I didn't say we've learned something useful. Yeah. Well, that's right. And we don't we don't we don't guarantee that we don't promise useful. That's right. We do promise five new things. That's correct. Yeah. Ben shares something that is probably useful. Useful. There we go. He says I found it for the first time I found that when I copied something, it did not end up on my Max clipboard, so I couldn't paste it. Since the clipboard is part of the finder and this is the part that I needed a reminder on the clipboard is part of the finder. I forced the finder to relaunch holding option and right click on the finder in the dock or select finder in the forced quit menu. And then the clipboard behaved normally again. So yes, relaunch the finder to resolve clipboard failures. Also, Nibsook in our discord commented that by issuing kill all P board from the terminal should also reset it because that's the paste board service, which is where the what you might call it, the clipboard lift something. Yeah. And do you use clipboard manager day? Oh, my gosh. I mean, obviously I use I use keyboard Maestro's clipboard manager only because I use keyboard Maestro for other things. And so it means that I don't have to have yet another something running. But yes, I could not live without a clipboard manager. Do you run one, Pete? You know, I assume since I run keyboard Maestro that I do, but I don't know. I've never used that function of it. I've always used the one thing I have on the clipboard now and never, never much played with it, though. It looks like Shatter. We talked about that a couple of weeks ago. May have may have something there, too. But I need to get in there and find out what I'm missing, I suppose. That is something where if you don't know about it, you don't know what you're missing, for sure. You need to try to think of the right way for all of us, for anyone who's not already using a clipboard manager. If you find, start paying attention to your workflows, if and when, and I'm guessing it's going to be a win, but I'll say if you find yourself bouncing between, say, Safari and mail or, you know, one app like if you're you're pasting things into a spreadsheet, right? And you've got to go get them from Safari and paste them into whatever. And if you find yourself going back and forth, so you go to Safari, you copy the first thing, you go back to mail or your spreadsheet, you paste it in, then you go back to Safari, you copy the second thing, go back, paste it in. Or even if you know it's not Safari, if you copy one thing from Safari and one thing from from mail, but you're going back and forth and pasting it into your spreadsheet each time. Copy all the things and then go to where you're going to paste them and use your clipboard manager to paste the things that you have now copied because they are all in your clipboard. It will be tedious the first time because your fingers don't know all the right keystrokes to make those entries on the clipboard jump out at the time that you want them to jump out. That is a thing that your fingers will learn very, very quickly. Trust me on that. So, yes, the first time will be far less efficient than what you already know how to do. But that's the thing like Lisa was looking at me the other night and I was doing something on my computer. She was doing something. I'm like, wait a minute, like you could use a clipboard manager. She's like, yeah, I don't quite understand. I'm like, all right, well, let me show you. And as I showed her, she was like, wait a minute, that's life changing. It's like, yes, I am. I am shocked that Apple has yet to include a clipboard manager, not just on the Mac, but system wide, like like iCloud wide. I want one on my iPhone and my iPad. And I want it to sync amongst all of them. And I just want access to my clipboard history. It's amazing because now I can I can treat the clipboard like a little bit of a backup. I mean, you don't want to go too crazy because things can get wiped out. But it's it's, you know, it's non-destructive in that when you copy or cut the next thing, it doesn't blow away was what was there previously. Yeah, it looks like there's one or two in the set app as well. Yeah. Yep. It looks like paste. Paste is one that Porthos John in the in the Discord chat just mentioned here. Paste and clutter and. Yeah. So I like I I couldn't whenever if I keep it for whatever reason, keyboard maestro is not running on a Mac for me, which is weird. But if it's not and I wind up, it's like I feel like it's that whole, you know, typing with mittens on feeling. It's like, oh, my gosh, like what? And then I panic like, wait a minute, what have I lost that I thought was saved on my clipboard? Because I do rely on it to just hold on to things. I'll I'll grab stuff. Like if I'm if I'm filling out a web form, right? And you know, sometimes you type lots of of of text into like a, you know, please send us your customer service message. And you like type all the things in my order on this day and that they you sent me the wrong in the yada, yada. Before I click send, I select all and copy. And then I hit send on that or submit on that form. And I know that when the form fails, like it does 50 percent of the time, I just have that on my clipboard. Even if I come back to it later, it's like, oh, no, no, no, that's going to be there on my clipboard. So yeah, that's a great idea. No, now that you mentioned it, I can't tell you how many times I find that. Oh, now I need that email address to put in there to send this. And I had the email address cut and. Yep. So I haven't. I have another tip for us here, a bonus quick tip for today. Uh, as far as email addresses go, go into your keyboard text replacements, type in your email address as the replacement and then come up with, like, whatever, some shortcut that you can type to put in your email and do the same thing with your phone number or phone numbers. And of course, if you have multiple email addresses, like I have F M G G and that expands to feedback at mackykev.com. I have like DMGG for my Dave ad address. I have DDLH for my personal address, like all of these things so that I when I'm filling out forms, I don't have to. And this works on my phone. It works on my Mac because it's synced and I do the same with my phone number. I have my phones are all in the 603 area code. So I have C 603 for my cell. I have 0603 for the office. I have G 603 for my Google voice number. And just being able to tap that on my phone's keyboard and not fat finger things is nice. Yeah, to say I use comma cell, I use comma ST for my straight address. The only time it really seems to get me is every now and then. The back, you know, the website designer has put in no, it only wants numbers. So when I try to type comma Z for my zip code, it won't take it. Oh, yeah. It's like, yeah, you have to go type it mainly. So yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you can't put anything that's not a number in there. Right, right. And then one that I literally just used to put this in the show notes from Portos, John, Shift Option Command V does a paste and match style. So if you have style on the Mac, perhaps, obviously, but that one is a good one for your fingers to learn so that you can paste things without it inheriting the style from where you copied it. It will inherit the style of where you're pasting it. So yeah, all the stuff. Text editor is good about not text editor. Text expander is good about having that option built into it. So and keyboard maestro takes it to another level. Like Mac OS has that that paste and match style keyboard maestro. Sometimes that doesn't work. And sometimes there are fields that on websites that won't let you paste into them, but keyboard maestro lets you set up a shortcut to type the clipboard right. And so you copy something to the clipboard and then you tell keyboard maestro to type it. And then it just does user interface scripting or whatever. Yes, you know, whatever. The right term is types. Yeah, because it's a virtual keyboard, essentially. Yeah, but but no fat fingering. Like, you know, it's sometimes they're like, oh, where I love it is when it's like you're setting up a password, right? Long password. Yeah. Yeah. And they want you to type the confirmation of that password. It's like, I'm not going to do that. So I use keyboard maestro to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's brilliant. OK, I learned one there. Yeah, we're all yeah. No, we're on a roll here. This is good. This is good. We had Grumpy in our and he's really not that grumpy. In our discord. He's a really nice guy. Everybody in our discord is nice. You should if you aren't there, I encourage you to join. I dislike using the word should I would love for you to join. I think you will like it. I like it there. You should join. I don't like using the word. How do I use the word? You should join. Well, there you go. I agree with Pete. Grumpy had two follow ups from last week's quick tips. He says about the QR code scanner, which, by the way, I used a ton in Montreal last week. And it was fantastic to be able to start that QR code scanner, hover my phone over the QR code that was on the table, not have to type, not have to like tap anything on the screen. As soon as it sees the QR code, it launches it. It does whatever it's supposed to do. It's amazing. So, you know, you launch that via the control center and then it does the code. Mark reminds us, I'm sorry, Mike Grumpy, reminds us that after it does that, it's opened it in the web browser inside of the QR code scanner app, not in Safari, but you can tap the little open in Safari button in the lower right. And the reason you want to do this, and I can attest to this being super handy, is if it's like a menu, when you want to go back and order your next beer and try a different one, if you've opened it in Safari, you have the menu still on your phone. You don't have to go and scan the QR code again to get the menu. Yes. Here was a neat one. Let me, for those of you who own restaurants or other services, the neatest one I've seen so far was this restaurant in the Netherlands. They had a cube on each table with the QR code on it. Okay. And into that QR code was the table number and you submitted your order through their menu online. So you didn't have to do anything but touch what you wanted and they bring it to your table because they know that it came from table 76. Yeah. So for those of you, those of you doing that, you're not just giving the menu, you're telling them which table. So as long as nobody switches the cubes on the table. Right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Applebee's except you get to use your own phone instead of whatever that silly thing is at Applebee's. You know what, Shep will bring it to you right away. Yeah. That was pretty clever, I thought. I like it. And to wrap up Quick Tips, Grumpy had a follow up from a different Quick Tip in that episode. He says about adding a receipt to your user manuals. An additional thing to add when you get a new thing is to take a picture of the model. So we were talking about adding your user manuals and your receipts in a note or a books or whatever. Right. Also take a picture or a scan of the model or serial number tag on the item and attach that to the note or book or manual as well. Very handy to have the actual model number in the same document as the manual since many manuals are for a family of products and having the actual serial number is always a good thing.

We've got it. We've got it. We've got it. We've got it. Back in 2018, Jordan isn't your average podcast host. He delves deep into the psyche of an eclectic range of guests from CEOs, spies, athletes, to authors, and more. His knack for pulling out gems of wisdom and exclusive stories from his guests is unparalleled. Now, if you're wondering where to start, might I suggest episode 835, which was one of the skeptical Sundays. In that one, Jordan unravels the murky world of e-commerce scams. It's an absolute must listen if you're into online shopping. And of course, we all are. Or how about episode 845, where Jordan engages in a riveting conversation with Robert Kerbeck, who shares his incredible journey from a struggling actor to a corporate spy. I've known Jordan for years and I'm a fan of the show. Jordan is a legend in the podcasting world. His show is one of the highest rated self-development podcasts available right now. Jordan's unique blend of intelligence, humor, and ease of listening is a hard combination to come by. You can't go wrong with adding the Jordan Harbinger show to your rotation. It's incredibly interesting. There's never a dull show. Search for the Jordan Harbinger show that's H-A-R-B is in boy, I-N is in Nancy, G-E-R, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And hey, Jordan, thanks for doing this swap with us. All right, listener Larry brings us to our questions segment here. He says, my devices are all updated to the most current releases. That's handy to know. He says, I've been using Mail app as my mail client across all platforms, Mac, iPhone, and iPad. iPad, he says, I don't do anything fancy though I have been using Sanebox for the past few years. Oh yeah, I couldn't live without Sanebox. That's another one. He says, I've been very happy. Lately, he says, I have noticed real email going into my junk folder at an increasing rate. I used to ignore the junk folder totally but I've had to increasingly have a look one or even two times a day and I'm always finding real good email there. I'm concerned about this. Yeah, well, there is no lack of garbage in the junk folder. I also worry about real mail going there and if I have to check frequently it doesn't do me any real good. Is something going on with the algorithms on my end or at Apple's and is there anything I can do? So maybe is the answer. Apple's filters are trained both by Apple and everyone. So you sort of get the hive mind training of email and it's also trained by you. Apple's filters, there's actually a knowledge-based article that tells you how to train Apple's filters and I highly recommend that you do this actively not just once but all the times. And it says, iCloud mail uses trend analysis, dynamic lists and other tech to automatically detect and block junk mail before it reaches your inbox. While there isn't a way to completely stop junk mail these tips can help reduce. Reporting junk mail and reporting what's not junk mail are keys to training Apple's filters in general and also the way Apple's filters work for you specifically and you can do this in a number of ways if you are using one of Apple's mail clients and it has the junk button or the not junk button that certainly works but you can simply move the messages between the inbox and the junk folder. Moving it from the junk folder to the inbox will train Apple's mail as not junk and moving it the other way from the inbox to the junk folder will train it as junk. So, good question. Yes. Does that work? So that works for iCloud mail or all mail accounts? So we're talking about iCloud mail as Apple. Okay. However, that also is sort of the paradigm that pretty much every other email provider follows. Okay. Yeah. Like fast mail definitely works that way. Google mail, Gmail or Google Apps mail or whatever you're using works that way. So yeah, I would, I think it's a safe presumption for that to be a good path but it works. Because as you know, I have my own server and I use Just Host that's my service provider and so I run my email server from them with my domain name and I'm assuming that they're following that as well. They have, the cool thing about doing that is I can run my own global filters. So when I get email from this, you know, crappy email at junkmail.com I can filter out anything from junkmail.com. Doesn't even make it to my mail client to filter. So I'm hoping they're following that as well. I just go back to, you know obviously they wouldn't do it if it didn't work. Why send spam email if it didn't work? So people quitting answering spam email ads. Well, yeah, exactly, exactly. But you shouldn't do that. I also agree with Pete. Yeah, it's worth just checking. I looked quick while we were talking here to see if Just Host had like a knowledge-based article about this. They probably do, I couldn't find it while we were chatting here. But it's worth checking with your provider just to know. For example, with Fastmail, it learns by what you, it learns by all of these methods and more and when you leave junk mail in the mailbox for 30 days or whatever and it gets deleted that also starts training it that that mail is junk. So I needed to have, I had screwed things up with Fastmail. I'd left too many things out there. I was not actively managing my spam. And so I- Learned a bunch of legitimate emails were junk then. Yeah, and so I wrote a support ticket and I said, hey, I kind of would like to punt on this. How do I do that? And they said, oh, we can reset that for you or maybe it was possible for me to reset, I forget. But in either way, they were like, yeah, we'll start you from scratch and it did. And now I set it on my calendar to every other day, manage my spam. I like doing it from the web interface for Fastmail. I have a URL that brings me right to my spam email box. It's in my calendar. So I can just click right there. It's super efficient. Oh yeah, cool. It takes me, when I say it takes me 20 seconds a day, I am not exaggerating. It's really not much. I sort my spam mailbox by the from address. You could also choose to sort by like the subject or something. If you're only doing it once a week, I think sorting by subject might be better because a lot of spam has duplicate subjects and so it makes it really easy to identify patterns. I find doing it every other day. There might be 20 or 30 things in there for me and I do find some that are bad and are false negatives, false positives, whatever it should be, things that should be in my inbox. And so I just tell it not spam for these and the rest I tell it delete. And it works out really well. And that's why it takes you 20 seconds because you do it every other day. Correct. If you did it every two weeks, it'd take longer every month, obviously longer. It would take longer. Yeah, and that's why, when I reset my junk mail filter, when I reset the trainings, I was doing it every day for a couple of weeks and then I realized, okay, it's probably not gonna be any different to do it every other day. When I let it go more than every, like if I'm traveling or I miss the to-do on my list on one day and I do it on, and it's been three days now, it takes me remarkably longer than just 50, it's more than 50% longer because my brain gets tired and distracted as I'm reading through those lists. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. I get halfway through and I'm thinking about something else and it's like, oh crap, okay, I gotta do this again. So every- I gotta deal with that email right now before I forget. And then the next thing, you're dealing with four other things and you're like, wait a minute, I was in the middle of my junk mail. Yep, so for me, and we're all different, right? But for me, every other day is the right pace. And really, even if I miss a day, every three days is manageable. If I let it go more than that, then it's like, it's a chore. I have to really focus and maintain a level of focus that I don't wanna have to do. So that's why I don't choose to do it once a week or once every two weeks. That's just too much for me. ADD is not just an acronym, it's a way of life. No, it's a way of life, but it's all about learning how to live with yourself, right? And so with this, it's like, yeah, if I do it every other day and then on the opposite days, I use SaneBox as well. I have a box called Sane News, which is one of SaneBox's automatic boxes. You can turn it off, but it grabs all of my newsletters and puts them into one folder. I manage Sane News on my off days from spam. And so, and it's nice cause I'll tell you what, reading through newsletters when all, when you know that that's all you're seeing there is newsletters, makes it really easy. It's like, do I wanna read that one? No, no, no. Yes, that one I do wanna read. Okay, and then I read it and look at it. Great, I move on to the next one. And so I let that be a little more freeform than the spam thing, you know, but that's the point of it. So yeah. So maybe sort, but sorting by from address for my spam on my schedule is perfect. When I used to do it every two weeks, which again, for me, was a failure, but sorting by subject was another way. So think about what, you just gotta find the path that works for you, and also know what your mail server, like your mail host, how to train it so that you're actually getting value out. So real quickly before we get off this subject then, so I think MGG uses MailChimp when you send out your newsletter. Correct, when we send out our newsletter, it's currently MailChimp. We've been thinking about changing to ConvertKit, but that's a whole other conversation. Okay, so, but okay, so obviously there's services for sending out newsletters, how are these spam guys getting it out? Are they abusing the MailChimp terms of service or, you know, whomever, I use them as an example because they can send mass emails. Yeah, so the, I'm trying to think of the right way to answer this. Yes, some of the spammers are using a respected mail sender, if you will, but MailChimp will boot you if you get too many spam complaints back, right? And they tell you about it. They're like, okay, like, you know, you're at 0.2% or something, no big deal. Like it's gonna happen, they understand that. But if you're at like 2%, they'll send you an email and then that's it. But sending mail... So it does do good to complain, to... Absolutely, yeah, I mean, I guess, I don't know. Like, yes, it does good, I don't. It's waste too much time. But yes, there is help in that. Some mail hosts will do the complaining for you. They will report things back to the sending agent. So, I know Google does, if you mark something as spam on Google, they are logging that and MailChimp would hear about it and all of that. So there, it's great, I don't know about fast mail. They probably do, they manage a lot of email there. But we used to send all of a bunch of our email through our own server, because we have our own server and we can send mail. It is really hard to get your, and I say little server, like it used to be the Mac Observer server, it was sending out all kinds of email and it was doing everything from backbeat media. It is very difficult to get a mail server that you run yourself, quote, unquote, respected by the community and to be able to hit the inbox. MailChimp is respected because they don't tolerate spam and so they can hit the inbox better. You know, ConvertKit, respected. They can hit the inbox. Dave's little server that does its own thing and hasn't managed Mac Observer email and I mean, it's been 10 years or something. That would almost always hit people's spam folders when I sent through that. So I use like Google's SMTP Relay now, which is great. So, yeah, yeah. But again, you can't abuse it. You've got to, you've got to, you know. Yeah, there's two or three blacklisting services out there that'll put your server on the blacklist and then good luck, right? That's it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so yeah, yeah. You want to take us to Kent? I do, yeah. So Kent wrote in, hi, Dave and Pete. Safari on my iPad Air Gen 4 has recently started exhibiting an odd and irritating behavior. It's on iPad OS 16.5.1. When I do a Google search and then tap on the result, it doesn't take me to their end result. Instead, the tap results in a thin outline of the listing with a quote share and a quote save to collections icon as shown in the screenshot attached. The second tap takes me to the desired result page. I've tested this on the iPhone SE with 16.5.1 and my 2019 iMac 13.4.1. The iPhone doesn't display this. The iMac does on rollover, but clicking the result takes me directly to the link page without needing a second click. The screenshot is from the Mac and of course you can't see the screenshot. No amount of searching has turned up even a mention of this behavior. It's a jarring change to tap the result, expecting the page to open and then realizing it didn't and having to go do it again. I'm threatening the Nuke and Pave to see if that clears it up and to see if there's a simple solution. Checking with us to see if there's a simple solution. There is a simple solution. We didn't find it, but Kent did. Yes, we looked for it. We didn't find it. He did, yeah. Yeah. He writes a quick follow up in the answer. I searched through Safari settings and noticed I had quote, request desktop websites and then all websites turned on. I've had it this way for as long as I can remember. I turned it off, closed all my tabs and tried a new search, issue gone, turned it back on and the behavior returned off again and gone again. Perhaps a recent change by Google as evidence by showing up on the Mac. I don't know, but what's left of my sanity has now been preserved. Yeah, this is interesting. So I never knew about this setting, Pete. It's in, I'm seeing it on my iPhone in settings, Safari, scrolling almost to the bottom is request desktop website on and you can set it to all websites. You can also set specific websites to always request a desktop website. Like on my iPad, I have it request my Synology Disk Stations desktop website because I want the full experience when I'm on my iPad. But yeah, I never used it for everything and I think he's probably right. Some change at Google must have catalyzed this. Right, yeah. I mean, it wouldn't have otherwise. I tried to duplicate the behavior. I looked all over and I'm glad you found it because that was a, that's just bizarre. But it could be handy and I'm thinking about, this is interesting because as we're having this conversation, I'm thinking about, I'm gonna try setting that on my iPad because I prefer the desktop website on my iPad in almost all cases. So it's certainly not on my phone, but on my iPad, yeah, but again, I might need to find a way to tell it, don't do this for Google or just use a different search engine. Try DuckDuckGo and then maybe that's the answer. Oh yeah. Right? I don't know. I didn't even thought about trying a different search engine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that was like, that's not the answer, but it is a solution, right? Yes. So yeah, good stuff Kent. Thank you for sharing that with us. Yeah, indeed. I have a question, it's more of an observation because or maybe we'll call it a geek challenge. So I was in Montreal, here in New Hampshire, where we are is about a, that's a less than five hour drive each way. So we drove up and got an Airbnb where we could park a car. We were up there celebrating our niece's birthday with her. We took her up, she lives with us. And so the three of us went up. It was great, had a really nice time. When I crossed the border into Canada, my car stayed on miles per hour. My Apple Maps on CarPlay for the, like turn directions and all of that stayed on miles. The speed limit signs on the road were all in kilometers. The speed limits as interpreted by my cars, I have a Subaru Outback from like 2018, so not that old. And it has the speed limits of some roads on it, you know? And those all stayed in miles per hour because my car stayed in miles per hour. Apple Maps only the speed limit on Apple Maps showed up in kilometers per hour. And it was like, okay, well, you didn't change anything else to kilometers, but you changed that. And it's like, so I had to ask my family. All right, tell me what, you know, how much is, how many miles is 50 kilometers? How many miles is 80 kilometers? Like I, yeah. I mean, I can look on the, obviously on the speedometer, but first of all, it's really tiny and I'm trying to drive in a foreign country and I don't want to screw that up. But what I look at for the speed in my car is the digital display of the speed. And of course that was still in miles per hour because I could change it, but I would have to stop the car to change that particular setting. You don't want to change that on the road. You're not allowed to change it while you're driving. Yeah, exactly. And for good reason, it's not a complaint, but it's like, this is really weird. And I mean, it didn't take very long for me to learn the translations because it was only like three of them. You know, it was like 50, 80, 100 and I could like get close on the rest. And then of course my car was showing me the speed limits and the right thing, but I thought that was really weird. Now Google Maps, which I used for a little bit driving home, it just went all in on metric. So it was telling, it was giving me turn directions in terms of the number of kilometers and this, that and the other thing. It was like, I'm not sure that that's better, Google, but at least you're consistent. If I told you I wanted to be in miles, don't change that because I'm somewhere else. Like it's still Dave's brain. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's just quickly for anyone listening if you find yourself there, 0.6. So if it's 100 kilometers an hour, multiply by 0.6, 60, it's not, it's 63, but it's close enough for government work. Yep, no, that's a good conversion. If it's 50, then it's six times five is 30. You're about 30, 33 miles an hour. Yep, no, that's good math to be able to do. Yeah, yeah. Get you in the ballpark so you don't get a ticket. So you don't get a ticket, yeah, that would be a boring and costly conversation and confusing because I'm sure the officer would want to speak French to me at least initially and I don't speak French well at all. Stop. So yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, don't go so fast, Dave. The other, but traveling and even if you're not driving, or perhaps especially if you're not driving, if you're gonna be using public transport in any, in a country where they speak a language or use a pronunciation that is different from what your brain is used to, learn how before you leave, learn how the locals pronounce the name of the street that you are staying on. I learned this a year ago when we went to Greece. We wound up, you know, we had picked our Airbnb because we stayed in Athens for a few days before we went on the road. I picked our Airbnb, we wound up talking to like a travel planner. We wound up not working with this woman. She was very nice. She basically told us, you don't need me. But casually as we were talking, she's like, where are you staying? And I like texted her the address of the Airbnb and she says, and it was I-O-F-O-N-T-O-S or whatever. And she's like, oh, you're on Yofantos. I know where that is. And it was like, right, Yofantos, not I-O-Fantos. Like my English brain is telling me to say. Not so great way. Yeah, not so great way. Yeah, exactly. But Yofantos and it was like, and then like we were traveling somewhere and like, you know, the bus driver or something and it was like, oh, you know, we're coming up to Yofantos here. And it was like, right, that's us. And the same thing in Montreal, you know, we stayed again at an Airbnb and it was on St. Denis Street. But locally, that's Sondanie. And you know, if you don't know that, you might not make that association up in the moment. Right? Like, yeah, we did some tour and the driver was like, who is it that's on Sondanie? Can I bring you back first? And I was like, yes, that's us. And Lisa looked at me, she's like, oh, look at that. She's like, you're right, that is Sondanie. I'm like, yeah, I learned this last year. I need to know how they're gonna pronounce our street, not how I'm gonna pronounce it. Yeah, so, I don't know, little tips. For the English speaking world, any St. Denis folks here? Any St. Denis. I'm sure they would have gotten there quickly because our, you know, and that was the thing is he was speaking English to us but he was pronouncing things in the way, The way you pronounce them. The way you pronounce the way it is correct to pronounce them. Yes, yes. We're not gonna get to everything but that's sort of normal. Steve Hammond had a good question with an answer in our Discord. He says, I have a few Apple TV 4s in my house but one of them is often freezing. I have to get to it and reboot it by removing the power cable. Any idea what it can be and then there was a discussion that ensued about how to reboot it every week and that would be perhaps like, you know, a smart plug that you can schedule to just turn it off, wait whatever a minute, turn it back on and fix that. So, but someone, Blake in Arizona, chimed in and said, I have had similar occasional freezing on two of my Apple TV 4Ks that were identical. From what I saw, they were both practically full on storage, which amazed me. He says, I deleted a few apps and so far they both have been working better and haven't needed to be rebooted. So, if your Apple TV, I would say for all of us, go check and see how much storage all the apps that you downloaded and forgot about are taking up on your Apple TV because it might make sense to just delete some as a matter of course and just maintenance. Kind of like I said at the beginning of the show, going through the privacy settings and making sure things are on, this sort of preventative maintenance to keep your, you know, preserve your sanity. I probably have two dozen apps on my home screen that I'd better use for with any consistency. Exactly, yeah, exactly. So deleting the things that you never are gonna use again for sure, but also if you do wind up in a scenario where you've got an Apple TV that freezes and needs to be rebooted, check the storage. That would not have been my first thing to check and so thanks to Blake and Arizona now, it will be all of our first thing to check, so. Yes, indeed. Right, you're thinking all the back end things. What could be wrong with the operating system? Did you get a bad bit in your last firmware update? Right, oh no, just delete some apps. Just delete some apps, it's full. But it won't tell you that it's full, right? Apple doesn't like to do that except for when they do. I don't know, I don't know. Brent asks a question of us here about what is the best malware scanner for macOS? He says, is Malwarebytes still a good option for a free on-demand malware scanner for macOS? And Malwarebytes is still the one that I use and I don't pay for a subscription to it not because I don't wanna support them. I don't pay for a subscription because I don't want it running all the time and that real-time agent is part of the subscription, right? Like that is part and parcel of having paid for it. I don't, I've chosen, again, we talk about our convenience versus security continuum and picking our spot on it. I have chosen not to have something running all the time that's always scanning things that are running on my Mac because I don't want it to slow my Mac down. And maybe someday I will regret that but I have a reminder on my calendar to remind me to run Malwarebytes once a week and I do on all of my Macs. Actually, I don't have it on my calendar. I have a keyboard maestro macro that runs once a week that launches Malwarebytes. It doesn't scan, it launches it. When I see it up on my machine, I go and click the scan button. So that's how that, and then I quit. I don't quit before I scan. So Malwarebytes is what I use. Do you use anything, Pete? And if so, what? I do, I use Malwarebytes, although I don't think I've put it on this machine as yet, my new one. I also use C Cleaner, which is short for Crap Cleaner, great name. I forgot about C Cleaner. Oh, yeah. So they have a free and a paid version as well. Yep. But I find that the free version meets my needs. Okay. And it's not, I don't know that that's as good at Malware as Malwarebytes, but it does clean a lot of the cruft in the machine. I'll give it that. And then, and then- It looks like the free version does less of the Malware stuff. And they don't say Malware, but they talk about removing internet trackers and things like that. So, yep. Right. And then, and then actually, you know, and we mentioned it briefly before, as far as trackers, I started using the duck.com email service. And that does a good job of removing trackers from the email when, before it even hits your inbox, or when it hits your inbox, it goes, I've removed four internet trackers from this email. So that's nice. And then of course, no episode would be complete without mentioning Clean My Mac 10 or X. Yep. I choose to say 10. That's the Roman numeral. It is Clean My Mac X. And I only know that because when they first sponsored the show years ago, and they didn't just sponsor our show, like through Backbeat, they, you know, we put together a campaign where they sponsored like, I don't know, 10 Mac shows or something because we have a lot of Mac shows. And every single host said Clean My Mac 10 because I think we were taught by Apple that X is 10, you know. And the feedback came back, hey, for the next app, for the next reads, make sure you say Clean My Mac X. And it was like, oh, who knew? Like, oh, now we know. So, yep. They were very nice about it, obviously. They understood why, like, but it is Clean My Mac X. But you're right. That's got a great malware scanner in it too. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I like it. Hey, I know you skipped over it, so I won't get them both, but the quick one is, Stitcher's going away in August. Just for both of you that listen to this show on Stitcher. Ah, I think there's more than both. I've seen the stats. Yeah, no, you're not wrong to circle back to this one. Come on over and listen to it on the Mackeek app. Or, oh, okay, you're leaning back, like maybe not. You know, we have not done any updates to the Mackeek app in a while. There was a project planned for this past winter. Lucas was actually gonna do a lot of those updates. That did not happen. So, I need to talk with Corey, the person who created that for us, and see where we are with that. Because there are some things that it needs to be, it needs to be updated and refreshed. Yeah, it works, but there are some things that need to be done with it. They have not been done. So, certainly use the Mackeek app, install it, it's free. And you will get notifications from us, which is great, and you can listen in the app. For my podcast listening, I like Overcast. Yeah, it's, you know. Apple destroyed podcasts with the latest version. Well, that is true, I agree. iOS 17 podcast app is better. I've been playing with that on my spare phone. Yeah, so, so. I'm just finding where the episode is and what order it's in and getting it just was it was not no longer intuitive. Right, right, right. Yeah, no, I go over that up. I don't know. But yeah, I love Overcast. Let you change your speed and get rid of, you know, what is it called, the intelligent speed? He gets rid of the silence gaps. The pauses. Yeah, yeah, which is great. Yeah, we, yeah, I like that. I, the one nice thing about Stitcher, as Listener Gary pointed out, is that it will stream only, whereas most other podcast app or apps are focused on downloading or streaming if you don't have the downloaded copy. In Overcast, you can go into its own settings into downloading and you can choose to stream when played and never download. And what's cool is on a per show basis, you can also then change that on a per show basis. That's right. Yeah, exactly. Some shows will download, some will stream. Yeah, no, that's great. But I wanted to point that out because people are maybe listening in and it's got, I think they said they're going to Pandora, right? Anybody on Stitcher is automatically going to switch over to Pandora or download the Pandora app. That makes sense that, you know, I can think Pandora bottom. I that's my guess. Yep. Or Stitcher bought Pandora and decided to keep their name. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, fair. Yeah, yeah. Chad had a question about Overcast from a couple of weeks ago, basically asking, how do I play video podcasts in Overcast? You had prepped this one, Pete, but I mean, I think the answer is no, right? Overcast? No, not that I've been able to find. Yeah, yeah. Spotify is very much leaning in on the whole video podcast thing, so much so that they now give us as creators the option to upload a video to go along with the audio podcast. So if you're listening on Spotify and we have remembered to do it and it's not, they don't make it, it's not the easiest thing yet, but we'll get there. We can upload a video and we have for a bunch of episodes. I didn't do it for last week's because I was traveling and anyway, I didn't. But I will. I'll go and fix that in retrospect. Yeah. So I need to fix that. Well, the problem is, like you and I, we get on here and we do a lot of pre-show, but mine records. Oh yeah, my pre-show records, too. Yeah, I cut that out. Oh, you go in and see, I'm too much other editing. I don't have time to go in and change all that. Yeah, YouTube is weird with the editing. Facebook's not too bad with it. And then the file that I download is easy to edit. Quicktime Player, by the way, if all you need to do is trim a video or even slice out sections in the middle, it is the most efficient thing. And when I say efficient, I mean in terms of what happens once you finish doing your slicing and dicing and you hit save, Quicktime doesn't try to re-encode the whole thing. It just saves it. Whereas like Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve, which is an amazing video editor and one that I used regularly, will take, you know, for an hour and a half long thing, it'll take like 20 minutes to push it out. And it's like, yeah, it's like guys, I just want to do this, so. Yeah, it's already encoded, just saving. It's already encoded, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So, all right, well, Pete, I think we have, we have hit our time for the week. We have a bunch of cool stuff found. We still have some more questions to get through. You will send in more questions to feedbackamackicub.com. So, I think that means we're gonna have to do this again next week, Pete. Right, right, we are. I think we will. I think we will. It'll be after Trees and Day for those of us in Britain. That is true. After a Dependence Day for those of us in the States. That's right. And don't forget, Sunday, July 9th, which is this coming Sunday for anyone who's listening to the recorded version of this. At 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, we will get together and hang out and talk shortcuts. Really, we'll just talk automation in general. It doesn't have to just be shortcuts, but yeah, automation in general. So, yeah, it's gonna be fun. I'm hoping to be on there. It may not happen. That's a travel day for us. We're going to Florida. Got it, got it. But if my airplane's ready, then I can wait an extra day and do that. Interesting, right. All right, cool. Well, we hope to see you, but obviously we understand if you can't make it. Yeah, thanks to Cash Fly for providing all the bandwidth to get the show from us to you. Come follow us on Mastodon. We've got links in the show, but Pete and I are both out there. The show is out there. I've been loving Mastodon because it lets me see my timeline in timeline order. There's no algorithm trying to tell me what I want to see. It's just timeline order. I've really come to like that. So it's been a fun place. Make sure you check out the other shows that we do. Pilot Pete's Aviation Podcast. So there I was.
