Topics:
-Jerry has some clients with MacPractice and he has some
concerns with their recommendations for Dolly
Drive. Joe chimes in on his experiences.
-Since Sam is relatively new to syncing Desktop & Documents to iCloud, he was looking for a way to stop specific subfolders from syncing to iCloud. He found that adding the suffix of .nosync to a folder would remove it from iCloud.
-On the heels of naming conventions discussions, Jerry has a client that named folders with all the special characters that tend to wreak havoc on an OS. He got the old line “it wasn’t a problem before” from the client.
-Sam’s client had what they thought was an issue with a UniFi mesh device. The answer was a lot more simple than expected.
-Whenever a client messes with DNS, it’s a recipe for disaster. And Jerry’s client was no exception.
-A need from one of Jerry’s friends turns into the discovery of
a line of products from Ten One Design. He ends up
getting his friend the Blockhead, which turns the Apple power brick
sideways to the socket. Check them out for a variety of other
ingenious products like the Stella or Wifi Porter.
-Listeners of Command Control Power can get a very generous 20% off their order by using the code “Command” at checkout.
-It’s the simple things. Joe shares a feature of the Amazon Prime app on iOS that just makes sense and he wonders why other video streaming apps don’t do this.
-Jerry recommends troypoint.com for use with an Amazon Fire Stick
-Joe has a new segment/corner/pop quiz called “Apple should have told us”. His story starts with a local iPhone encrypted backup with a lost backup password. Apple does have a knowledgeable article on this topic: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205220#help
-His wish for an RSS feed leads him to a lot of dead ends: apple.com/support/rss/intl/body.html, rss.support.apple.com, support.apple.com/rss, and just for fun: www.apple.com/support/home/index.html
-Thanks to Tim Nyberg of The Mac Guys for mentioning a tax break for the tax year 2018 that may apply to your business: https://www.mileiq.com/blog/pass-through-tax-deduction/
-On a fun note, Jerry shares a funny ad for the Super Bowl from Stella Artois: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX8TMYRk6_w
