    CCATP #835 — Adam Engst on Dictation and Contacts Hackery

    In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, we go into the dark abyss that is Adam Engst's brain and learn how that brain influences his choice of dictation engines. He then explains how he's hacked Apple's dictation into correctly spelling unusual names of places by creating fake contacts. As always it's a fun ride, and as always he has a terrific post on the subject at tidbits.com/...

    CCATP #834 — Adam Engst on Digital Key 2 with IONIQ 5 EV

    Adam Engst of TidBITS is here to talk about one of my favorite subjects: electric vehicles and their high-tech features. In particular, he's enamored with Digital Key 2 with the IONIQ EV he just purchased. Of course you can read his full article about his experience with Digital Key 2 at tidbits.com/... We can't stay on one topic, so we also talked about how he's handling the increased range of a full EV after spending more than a decade driving a Nissan Leaf EV with very low range. He explains how he uses the tool A Better Route Planner from abetterrouteplanner.com/... to help him plan his longer trips. During the discussion, he spoke of the effect a headwind can have on the range of an EV. I promised to include a link in the shownotes to Steve Sheridan's terrific article explaining why EVs are more affected by wind and going uphill than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Spoiler, it's because ICE vehicles are so inefficient, losing 80% of the energy rather than using it to propel the car forward.

    CCATP #833 — Joseph Nilo on Agentic AI with OpenClaw

    This week, our guest is a lovely gentleman named Joseph Nilo. If you’ve been listening to Apple podcasts since the dawn of podcasting, you may recognize that name. He was one of the original hosts of the Mac Roundtable podcast. I first “met” Joseph on July 29, 2007, when I made my debut appearance on the Mac Roundtable with the great Tim Verpoorten and Don McAllister. Believe it or not, the Mac Roundtable website is still up and running (thanks to Adam Christianson), and you can listen to a full decade of shows. Joseph has been out of the podcasting business for a few years now, but he’s still a fabulous nerd. He’s one of the crazy ones, running the agentic AI software OpenClaw that seems to be sweeping the world by storm. In this conversation, Joseph explains what agentic tools like OpenClaw can do, how he's deployed it locally, what guardrails he's put up, and how safe he thinks it is to use. Spoiler: not safe at all! You can see Joseph's work at josephnilo.com/... and hilomedia.com/...

    CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery

    Most people today get great joy out of buying a new car if they can afford it. Our buddy Ron has a ten-year-old Tesla Model S, and rather than buying a new car, he decided to have Tesla install a brand new battery. In our conversation, Ron explains what the original battery was and talks about the original range and how it's degraded over the last decade. One of the big reasons to replace the battery was that the older batteries did not charge very quickly at Superchargers, but the new ones do. While Ron doesn't put a lot of annual miles on his car, he does go on very long road trips, including an 1,800-mile drive just this year.

    CCATP #831 — Adam Engst on Reading Trains Your Internal LLM

    In this fascinating discussion with Adam Engst, we discuss how he used to think that reading added information to essentially a database in his brain. Recently, though, he has started to think about his brain as a large language model, and that instead, reading is changing the weights of the model to include new information. Here's a link to the article on tidbits.com/... where Adam explains this concept in full detail.

    CCATP #830 — Adam Engst on How Siri Could Become the Mac’s New Help System

    The charming Adam Engst joins us to talk about his vision of How Siri Could Become the Mac’s New Help System. His vision is that since Apple knows everything about macOS, it doesn't seem a big leap that we should just be able to ask Siri how to do things on our Mac. It could access all of the developer documentation to do this without breaking a sweat. Of course, we wandered off the reservation into talking about how apps could do this too, and of course, we had great fun together noodling this idea.

    CCATP #829 Jason Howell on Smart Glasses

    You may know Jason Howell from his work hosting Daily Tech News Show with Tom Merritt, or his work on the All About Android and Android Faithful Podcasts, or hosting Tech News on the TWiT Network. Over the last two decades, he’s been the voice translating complex technology into clear, human stories that connect with real audiences. In this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Jason joins me to talk about the state of smart glasses. He talks about the different approaches, including simple microphone/speaker/camera glasses, those with monocular or binocular screens for projecting information onto the real world in front of you, and those that provide a full immersive experience in a pair of glasses. We talk Meta, RayNeo, Infinix, Even Realities, XREAL, and Lumus, the waveguide technology company behind Ray-Bans.

    CCATP #828 — Adam Engst on Menu Icons in Tahoe

    Adam Engst of TidBITS joins me this month to talk about the wonderful world of macOS Tahoe's menu icons. You may not have noticed, or you may not have upgraded to macOS 26 yet, but nearly every menu item in every dropdown menu on nearly every application now has a tiny icon next to it. In this discussion, Adam and I go through the fabulous blog post by Nikita Prokopov entitled It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons where he shows examples of the problems they cause. From indecipherable to inconsistent, there are a lot of problems.
