Fun with the Cool Blind Tech Podcast guys, My ScreenCasts Online tutorial is up about Parallels Toolbox. I was on DTNS Live and Steve captured some funny moments on video. I walk through all of the options for when you go to High Sierra and Office 2011 won’t work any more, centered around my love […]

Setapp Led Me to Cloud Outliner Pro
A while back a new app model came out called Setapp from setapp.com. You probably heard about it back then, but to refresh your memory, it’s a subscription service for $10/month that gives you full access to a ton of apps. At the time, without looking at it myself, I declared it a dumb idea […]

There’s a rather hidden feature inside Apple Mail that is helping you right now but may trip you up in the future if you don’t know what it does and how to manage it. It’s called Previous Recipients.

Bluetooth Dropout FIXED!

From Allison: I’ve just decided that it might be a nice enhancement to the podcast and blog if you could see Security Bits as a stand-alone blog post.

When an Engineer Makes a Dumb Equation Error
Remember last week when we played Which Screen is Bigger, iPhone 8 Plus or X? AKA Fun with Geometry? I went through, in rather excruciating detail, how to calculate the size of the screen on the iPhone X vs the iPhone 8 Plus. I wrote it up as a blog post, and Steve (also an […]

This blog post was corrected substantially 3 days after its original posting. I made an egregious error and said the area of a circle was πD, when in fact it’s πD2/4. Thanks to Quazim & Jill for the correction. I hang my head in shame. In last week’s show, I said that iPhone X actually […]
