Summary

Why might you still be getting notifications when using Apple's Focus mode? Can you call your iPhone from your Apple Watch if the watch has a cellular connection? Plus, Rod Pyle joins us to talk about a "cannibal" solar storm, and Johnny Jet breaks some news that Alaska Airlines is buying Hawaiian Airlines!

  • When I have Focus Mode turned on between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad, why do I still get notifications when an email comes in?
  • My RAW photos are out of focus when viewing them in Apple Photos. Has Apple made a fix for this yet?
  • What's a good replacement device for Apple's AirPort Express to relay audio for two sets of speakers in different rooms?
  • When using my new M3 MacBook Pro, why is my RAM usage so high when I believe I'm not using applications that would use so much RAM?
  • A caller calls in to share a suggestion to hooking up Bluetooth headphones to your TV.
  • Why aren't my podcasts being removed in Apple Podcasts after playing them?
  • Is there a way to reset the iOS keyboard default key mapping?
  • Is there a way to call your own iPhone from my Apple Watch if it has a cellular connection?
  • Rod Pyle and the "Cannibal" solar storm.
  • Why am I never getting a notification when getting a call or a text message?
  • Why is my eero not maintaining its LAN connection when my ISP goes down?
  • Why do my Apple Watch notifications persist when I clear them on my other Apple devices?
  • Johnny Jet and Alaska Airlines are buying Hawaiian Airlines.
  • What can I use to toggle two different computers on one keyboard/mouse setup?
