This week on episode 600(!) of Mac Power Users:
The Apple silicon transition continues to march on, so David and Stephen sit down to talk about how to migrate to a new Mac, and what settings and preferences they recommend changing from the defaults.
We’ve seen a lot of questions about the best way to move to a new machine, so hopefully this episode clears things up for everyone. It’s an exciting time to be in the market for a new Mac!
Last week, Dr. Drang was on MPU, and among other things, we spoke about this homemade wiki for dealing with information he needs handy. He’s followed up on that episode with a pair of blog posts:
David and Stephen recently had me on the Mac Power Users podcast and teased me (gently) about rolling my own wiki instead of using one of the many off-the-shelf systems. I explained on the show the various trials I went through before landing on my current system and—to some extent, at least—the reason I prefer what I’m doing to Obsidian/Craft/Roam Research/Notion/Whatever. In this post I’ll give some details on how my system works.
Myke is away, so Stephen talks about the Mac Pro and Federico talks about emulating old video games. Also: MagSafe PopSockets, shipping challenges and the future of the Jeremies.
On Connected Pro, I share my thoughts on my first new TV in a decade and Federico makes a decision about spatial audio.

This week on Mac Power Users, Dr. Drang returns to the show to discuss his recent Mac renaissance, the way he manages notes and some of his favorite utilities.
On More Power Users, we spoke about Drang’s earliest Mac usage. It was a lot of fun.

In our on-going series of marking the 50th anniversaries of the Apollo missions, we’ve arrived to Apollo 15:
As the first J mission, Apollo 15 marked a new era of broader discovery and scientific work on the lunar surface. David Scott, Alfred M. Worden, James Irwin worked to further our understanding of the moon, and were the center of a bit of a scandal after splashdown.
The legacy of Apollo 15 is … complex, but I’m glad Jason and I were able to get into it.
This week on the show, David Sparks and I talk about what goes into designing and maintaining reliable wired and wireless networks, and give some advice if you’re looking to upgrade yours.
On More Power Users, we catch up on Apple Car rumors and wonder what Apple could be up to.
My thanks to our sponsors for the episode:
Myke has questions about the Apple Watch, Stephen holds an unboxing and Federico has a new computer. Then, judging others based on the menu bar of their Mac.
On Connected Pro, we spoke about breaking up with a professional and counting words in iOS reviews.
My thanks to our sponsors:
On this week’s episode of Connected, I have to whisper with an accent and Apple has to keep re-thinking Safari 15. Meanwhile, Myke still isn’t using MagSafe and Federico’s text editor has gone global.
My thanks to our sponsors:
Most people think of Microsoft in the 1990s as a juggernaut in the software industry, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have some … weird … products that made it to market.
This week on Mac Power Users, David and I check out a bunch of iPhone apps.
A ceramic Apple Watch. A calendar Kickstarter. A review update. A ceramic Apple Watch. A calendar Kickstarter. A review update. An Apple Watch. A Kickstarter. An update.
This is not three episodes of Connected. It’s one episode, and we call it 88XX BANE.
Mike Vardy returns to the show to update David and Stephen on where he’s found balance between the iPad and the Mac. Mike also discusses how he blends analog and digital tools, and how he shares tasks and ideas with his remote team.
