This week, David and I are launching a new episode type on Mac Power Users. Generally speaking, we have three primary formats for our episodes:
The fourth, dubbed “Software Club” is a bit of a mix of the first two. Our plan is to talk about an app, then bring the developer on for a shorter interview, focusing on their app, and not necessarily their workflows, etc.
The original Apple TV was basically a low-powered Intel Mac. As such, people have installed all sorts of wacky things on them over the years, but this is the first memory upgrade I’ve seen:
Quinn Nelson has replaced the screen and battery on an iPhone 12 mini using the new Self Service Repair Program. His video really shows how much stuff Apple ships you to complete these tasks:
It’s painfully clear that the current generations of iPhone weren’t designed with self-repair in mind.
Eric Migicovsky, a co-founder of the now-defunct smartwatch company, writing about why his company failed:
I struggled over and over to define a strong long term vision for what Pebble as a company would accomplish. In some ways we were spoiled…when our Kickstarter in 2012 was super successful, we never had to go through the exhausting process of iterating on sales techniques to acquire customers. We had crystal clear marching orders in 2012: build exactly what we had promised our backers and make it as high quality as possible. That’s what we did in 2012–2014…we just built great smartwatches that we ourselves (young hackers) wanted to use. After Pebble Steel in 2014, we came up for air and found ourselves in a more competitive space. As discussed above, we attempted to expand into a new market, and failed.
Apple has shared more details about its live WWDC event next month and 1Password 8 has arrived on the Mac. After those topics, the guys perform an exit interview for iOS 15.
On Connected Pro, I get philosophical about the line between software and services, while Myke and Federico talk about Furbies and Beanie Babies.
We’re hosting a special all-day experience at Apple Park on June 6 to kick off WWDC22. Gather with others in the developer community to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos alongside Apple engineers and experts, explore the all-new Developer Center, and so much more. We can’t wait to connect in person.
Attending this event is free and open to members of the Apple Developer Program and Apple Developer Enterprise Program. Invitations will be allocated through a random selection process and are non-transferrable.
After a long beta period, 1Password 8 for Mac is out today. The new version brings with it a new design, the ability to group vaults together in custom Collections and support for SSH keys.
One of my favorite additions is Universal Autofill. Dave Teare explains:
Nearly two decades ago we set out to create the most complete and deeply integrated password manager for Mac users. And today we’re thrilled to announce a new feature that raises that bar: you can now fill anywhere on your Mac using ⌘.
Is there a product that converts Lisa documents to Macintosh format?
You need the Lisa to Macintosh Migration Kit, available from Sun Remarketing. It converts LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaProject, and LisaCalc files to their Macintosh counterparts.
Stephen and David sort through listener feedback, revisiting topics such as Preview.app, time tracking and their own Apple silicon experiences. Oh, and the person who took a Mac Pro to the coffee shop to get some work done on the go.
It’s a big week for 20th anniversaries, as DEVONthink is enjoying a birthday as well:
“It was on a rainy April night in 2002 when Christian and Eric let DEVONthink 1.0 see the light of the internet for the first time…” But no worries, we won’t bore you with the whole history of DEVONthink from the days when its brain-in-a-fishglass only knew very few document types to the excavation of the ammonite that became its logo and to where we are now. Fact is, this month we are celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Here in April 2022, we’re enjoying a rare treat for us Mac nerds — an entirely new Mac desktop.
Beyond the Mac Studio, we’ve had the iMac Pro, the Mac mini, and of course, a couple of different attempts at the Mac Pro.
But 20 years ago, there was another — the eMac G4.
In April 2002, the iMac G4 was basically brand-new, and while there was technically still an iMac G3 on sale, Apple wanted to do something new for its education customers that had purchased so many iMacs over the previous few years.
