In this episode of Mac Geek Gab, Pilot Pete and Dave Hamilton take you on a tour of Cool Stuff Found and answers to pesky questions...with a little story time thrown in for good measure!

Kicking off Cool Stuff Found, MarkM showcased the convenience of the Shazam widget on the Apple Watch, while Walter and Andrew spotlighted tools like ChronoAgent and NETGEAR LTE modems for seamless file syncing and internet protection, respectively. TNPapa and Dave shared innovations, from seamless device interactions using ShareMouse to on-the-go weather updates with a CarPlay app. 

Dave Hamilton reminisced about Steve Jobs' personal endorsement of their podcast on iTunes at its inception. As the conversation evolved, Rosemary Orchard's company's commitment to continue the legacy of the late iOS developer Alex Hay was highlighted, alongside useful tech tools like OpenCore Legacy Patcher and SODI's MagSafe mount. 

Wrapping up, the episode touched on Microsoft Edge's split-screen feature, tips on using Xfinity's Wi-Fi with personal routers, and the significance of robust router security. The episode concluded with a nod to the QR Scan app, a handy tool for Mac users.
