My name is Mike Hurley, and I'm joined by Jason Snell. Hi Jason Snell. Hi Mike Hurley. How are you? You know, Jason, I had a week off last week which I'm, thanks to giving me the time off. Thanks for Stephen for filling in. And this was like one of those things of like, you know, ask my wife, do you want to go away anywhere? You know, do you want to go? No, I just want to be at home. We'll just get some stuff done. We'll just spend some time together. Two days in, a baby got a fever and had a fever for two days and now I got a cult. So what I'll say is I was happy. I'm happy I was at home, you you know so like we were both on call with a

poorly baby but I did not get the time off that I was hoping for but such is life you know

yeah such is life I have a Snell talk question for you Jason comes from Chelsea who wants to know

do you change your Mac passwords from reviewing units or upgrading to new models?

I just acquired a Mac Studio coming from a Mac Mini, and it's so tempting to keep the

account password the same.

For convenience, I'm keeping both machines for now.

So using different passwords is really important when you're doing things in the cloud where

they could leak on your devices that you have with you. It's not so important. And I absolutely,

when I'm using review units or whatever, in fact, I don't want to have to be like, what password

did I use for that review unit? So there's a, I have a small set of stock passwords that get

rotated around for all of those.

So yeah, I just use the same. And when I get a new Mac, it uses the same password as the old Mac.

Absolutely. 100%. I've got to say, Jason, this is maybe something I shouldn't admit, but I'm going to admit it.

My Mac password is hilariously bad.

It's not good. It is not a good password.

That's not a good password either, but I mean, I don't really expect that somebody from the internet is going to break into my house and...

That's my thinking. Like, I feel like there is more of a risk of my online passwords,

the stuff that's in one password being a problem for me.
