Watch Out For ConWare – Mac Geek Gab 988
Kicking off this week's Mac Geek Gab, Dave Hamilton and Pilot Pete share innovative methods to store receipts in the Books app, tricks to shrink the picture-in-picture screen on Microsoft Teams, and provide solutions for Safari login issues. They also discuss the versatility of using multiple active eSIMs across various iPhone models.
Cool Stuff Found include the Logitech G PowerPlay system, the Zenz Liberty wireless charging pad, the WiFi-connected Eve Weather sensor, and the Brilliant smart home control system. A highlight is the iOttie Velox Mini MagSafe air vent mount, a nifty gadget for on-the-go phone charging, which Dave used on a recent road trip. Press play, enjoy, and Don't Get Caught!
