Reviews

3.7 out of 5 stars from 3 ratings
  • Not a reliable presenter.

    Not reliable. Mikah will often state certain things as fact when in fact it’s not true. Or show his lack of understanding of many many things tech - despite talking and studying about it so much. Disappointing and unreliable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tech News Weekly 404: iPhone Air First Impressions
Q: What happens when the main interaction interface is voice, and who benefits or loses from that shift?
The guest suggests that voice interfaces could accelerate adoption and reliance on AI, raising concerns about ethics, privacy, and the need for friction to maintain intentional use, while acknowledging that a lot of innovation is happening around voice as a primary interface.
Hands-On Tech 279: Safely Ejecting USB Drives
Q: Is ejecting still necessary, or is this just a ritual from another era?
Ejecting is still important on Mac and Linux due to write caching, while Windows has moved toward quick removal in recent versions, making safe removal less critical if no transfer is active, but you should still eject if a transfer is actively happening or if you want to be cautious.
Hands-On Tech 231: KVM for MacBook Pros
Q: Do you think I could add a KVM switch to make this process easier?
The host explains that while a KVM switch offers a convenient one-button device switch and more organized peripherals, there are notable downsides like price, potential bandwidth constraints with 4K and multiple displays, and macOS compatibility quirks. As a practical alternative, he suggests starting with a USB-C switch linked to the existing Anchor Dock to test feasibility before investing in a high-end KVM.
Hands-On Tech 233: Using a Webcam at a Distance
Q: Rich asks how to run a webcam 15 to 20 feet away from his Mac Mini without losing power or signal, considering powered USB extensions, active cables, Thunderbolt fiber options, or Continuity Camera.
Mikah suggests starting with a powered USB 3 hub to supply power near the webcam, then using a standard USB extension to bring data back to the Mac Mini; if that proves insufficient, consider a Thunderbolt 4 dock for a more capable, albeit pricier, setup, or try Continuity Camera with an iPhone as a wireless webcam for short to medium distances.
Hands-On Tech 232: Enrolling in Windows 10 Extended Security Updates
Q: So how do I get the Windows 10 option?,
The host explains that the ESU enrollment option appears in Windows Update after the user follows one of the paths (either paying the $30, redeeming 1000 Microsoft Rewards points, or syncing settings), and if it doesn't show up by mid-September, contacting Microsoft Support is advised; the option is regionally limited and device-eligibility varies.
