Hooray! It’s back.
Excited to get back to Hands on Mac 🖥 (and now other Apple devices too).
Catch up for 30somethings
If you were born after the second coming of Steve Jobs and own a Mac, then this is the podcast for you if you wish to make your Mac work more for you. There are so, so many internal shortcuts and features that have been around since the inception of OSx, but they are rarely documented and marginally discussed, because ‘ol-timers’ have known them since way back when. Here’s an ol timer sharing them on-screen so you can follow along. He’s humble, he’s informative, and he’s old. It’s a win-win.
There is always something new to learn
I’ve started playing with terminal because of Leo. Thanks for these videos.
