In this weeks Mac Geek Gab, Dave Hamilton and Pilot Pete jump straight into the tech jungle with a myriad of Apple tips and tricks. Starting with a listener’s CarPlay guidance to silence directions, they roll into watchOS 10 tweaks, including the revamped way of switching watch faces. Dennis Jurgensen shares insights about this change, while Doug introduces the ambient light-triggered night mode.

With a nod to “talking nerdy”, your two favorite geeks touch upon Apple Watch’s battery capacities, its waterproof design, and the intricacies of migrating data, especially when it comes to authenticator apps and eSIMs. Their commitment to the audience shines as they delve into iOS 17 features, explore health data syncing, and dissect iCloud settings.

But the tech talk doesn’t stop there. The episode dives deep into home networking, discussing data usage, mesh networks, and the quest for optimal Wi-Fi speeds. They offer router recommendations, troubleshooting pearls, and personal tales of Wi-Fi interference. With a hearty thanks to their loyal listeners and supporters, they underscore the importance of community engagement. And in the spirit of the show, Dave and Pete remind everyone, “Don’t Get Caught” unprepared in the rapidly evolving world of tech.
