I am looking forward to the podcast about side loading apps. That’s awesome! Does this mean you could put the Amazon Alexa app on your Mac? A little side question. How did you get voice to read out the time in that order? Mine says the date first. Also, I like how your battery status read how

I agree, I got it from you tubers and I should have thought a little before using it here. Sorry. I have MBP 2016 15” and sometimes it is sluggish also. I don’t know whether they fixed it on more recent devices or not. I’m curious to know how it performs on M1 devices since they are more

Hi Donna. I used an app called Imazing and downloaded Bard to that library and once you do this there is an export option which you can save it to your Mac. Its a zipped file but once you open it becomes a app file. I will do a podcast on this process during the weekend. Joe > On Dec 8, 2020,

Hi Mohammed, Hated is too strong a word. It’s just inconvenient. And yes, for the reason you describe. I like the contextuality of the touch bar, and understand why Apple may have thought it a cool and innovative thing. But on my 2017 Macbook Pro, it’s response is sluggish. I have to rub my

Regarding the Touch Bar, mentioned earlier in the conversation 1. On windows, with NVDA, you can Toggl keyboard help (or whatever its name) that tells what’s under your finger. I use it with NVDA + 1, and search for volume up (for example), then Toggle it back off, and press the volume up. To

There are hacks out already to run Windows Insider on the M1 Macintosh computers. I highly doubt they would work with JAWS or NVDA though, and reports I have read do say that memory can run out and cause performance issues when running this. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On

John Grouber of Daring Fireball fame has said that with his M1 MacBook Pro, he could only get the fan to come on when he had 50 Google Chrome tabs open, and was doing video processing. He was so surprised by this that he contacted others with review products to make sure his system did not have

That's interesting. I had an Air, then upgraded to the Pro, and have since wished I'd just stuck with the Air. I would go with the 512, so that would give me the extra core. Kind of leaning that way at the moment. Cheers, Donna > On Dec 8, 2020, at 11:16 AM, joseph hodge wrote: > > The

The Cheapest air also only has a 7 core processor which again may or may not affect anything. If you step up to the 512 version they do give you the extra core so you have the 8. I wanted to go fanless but decided ultimently to go with the pro. The Touch Bar doesn’t bother me to much I can work

Nice video, Joe. Thanks for doing this. I've been on the fence about whether to upgrade my Mac or my iPad. I tend to think of my Mac as a work device and my iPad as a fun device, so was glad to see you focus on how iPad apps work on the Mac One question. Does the 13-inch pro have a touch bar
