It sounds like releasing 1.5 million balloons to raise money would be a good idea, but in 1986, the people of Cleveland, Ohio learned that it is not.
This would be a fun one if it weren’t for the dead bodies.

This has been a year of new creative projects for me. In addition to some personal endeavors that have yet to see the light of day, I joined Federico as the co-host of Adapt, a new iPad-focused podcast on Relay FM. Learning the art of expressing my Apple takes in speech rather than text has been an adventure in itself, but I’ve also grown to cultivate a very different skill: audio editing.
Stephen is back from repairing Macs and ruined the intro. Federico explains what’s going on with iOS 13 Beta 5, and Myke is excited about the second coming of the Galaxy Fold. Then, the guys discuss Apple’s Q3 results.
August is going to be busy on Connected. Myke and I will be holding our annual

As 2024 gets closer and closer, NASA is hard at work on SLS and Orion, but is also partnering with several companies to move several projects forward in parallel. Stephen and Jason then mark the passing of NASA’s first Flight Director, Chris Kraft.
This weekend, Jason and I will be in Houston visiting Johnson Space Center. Excited to share about that on our next episode.

Apple is now selling a new generation of the 5K LG UltraFine display. For the first time, the 5K UltraFine is now compatible with the iPad Pro, finally offering a 5K display option for 2018 iPad Pro users.
Previously, the 5K UltraFine display would only work over Thunderbolt. Now, it can output 5K over USB-C DisplayPort, which means it can now work with any of Apple’s current Mac and iPad Pro lineup.
As usual, Jason Snell has published a wide range of charts and a transcript of the call.
If your ISP gave you settings other than the phone number, account name, and password for your dial-up PPP account, use the panes in Network preferences to enter advanced modem settings.
Advanced settings include additional modem and PPP settings, as well as DNS, proxy, and WINS server settings.
Pastor and Apple nerd TJ Luoma returns to the show to catch David and Stephen up on his journey with Apple’s notebooks and the iPad, before sharing some of the apps that he uses every day to make his work more efficient, and his explorations in Internet filtering and content blocking.
It was great catching up with TJ. He’s doing the Lord’s work (literally, I suppose) when it comes to the Mac and iPad in ministry.
James Thomson did an amazing job with this talk:
Go64 is a free Mac app designed to help you root out any 32-bit apps still hanging out on your system in the months before the great 32-bit funeral that is macOS Catalina. Don’t miss a review of it on Macworld, written by J.R. Bookwalter. On my MacBook Pro, it turned up 31 32-bit apps, most of which are small bits of the Adobe suite of applications.
Federico has concerns about dummy units of the next iPhone. Stephen is troubled by the icon used for Software Update in macOS. Both of them receive a visit from a mystic being named Myke. Oh, and it’s World Emoji Day!
All of that, plus a conversation about Apple’s rumored entrance into the world for paywalled podcast content and a rumor about the six color Apple logo making a comeback.
50 years ago, humans first set foot on the moon. The work of the crew of Apollo 11 has inspired people for five decades, and their legacy continues to shine on today. In this episode, Stephen and Jason discuss three aspects of the mission that aren’t as well known, including Neil Armstrong’s brush with death in a training exercise, the science performed by the crew during their lunar EVA, and the astronauts’ less-than-glamorous welcome back to Earth.
