Hey, worse things could happen, right? iOS tips, macOS tips, Shazam tips (and a story about Shazam's origin!), iPadOS tips, APFS snapshots tips, internet recovery on M1 tips, and tips about pinning Safari Tabs and Contacts are maybe half of what you'll get in this episode. Press play and enjoy… and you might have to listen twice just to absorb everything!
