    AirTag Notifications, Disk Images, DNS Network Filtering, VPN Myths - Your Tech Questions Answered

    From transferring data between external hard drives to setting up content filtering on your home network, Mikah provides expert advice and step-by-step guidance to help you solve your tech problems. He also delves into the world of AirTags, offering tips on how to make the most of their notification features, and discusses the pros and cons of using Yahoo for email. • Transferring data from an old external hard drive to a new one and syncing with Google Drive/Photos. Mikah suggests creating a disk image using Disk Utility on Mac for easy data migration. • Setting up AirTag notifications for a lost purse. Mikah walks through adjusting Find My notification settings and creating an automation in Shortcuts to announce notifications when Driving Focus is turned on. • Filtering content on a home network without built-in router features. Mikah recommends using NextDNS to block certain sites, ads, and trackers. • The drawbacks of using Yahoo for email, including security concerns due to the company's history of changing ownership and lack of user support. • Using Telegram safely and whether a VPN is necessary. Mikah clarifies that Telegram doesn't expose your IP address any more than other apps, and using a VPN is a personal choice for masking your IP across all internet activities.

    Recovery Email Accounts - Apple Screen Share, External Drives, AirPlay Troubles

    On Hands-On Mac, Mikah answers a listener's follow-up question about being unable to remotely access their friends' Mac after a recent update, why an external drive is taking a while to be detected by a newer Mac, and a previous listener's follow-up question about a connection error they were having with their Apple TV and an interesting fix that was discovered. Judy writes back in after asking their question a few episodes ago, providing additional details to about how, after a recent OS update, they cannot remotely access their friend's Mac via the Messages app. MacFixerDK got a new M3 MacBook Pro but is having issues with the different external drives attached to it.

Nancy is having trouble playing back videos from YouTube or accessing websites through her web browser through Apple AirPlay. Dan is looking to strengthen his email security after being prompted by Google to add a recovery email for their account. However, he doesn't have another email account! He wonders if he should create another email account just to be able to access his primary account if needed.

    iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15 Pro Max - Tracking Network Usage, Shortcuts Secrets, iCloud Management

    Mikah tackles your questions about iPhone shortcuts, tracking network data usage across devices, and more. He also shares his thoughts on whether it's worth upgrading to the latest iPhone 16 or going with a discounted iPhone 15. Topics covered: - Creating an iPhone shortcut to toggle call audio routing between speaker and automatic, possibly based on location. Mikah explains how to access the call audio routing setting and suggests using the Shortcuts app with a special URL to create a one-tap shortcut. - Deciding between upgrading to an iPhone 16 Pro Max vs getting a discounted iPhone 15 Pro Max. Mikah recommends going with the latest iPhone 16 for the longer-term battery life, latest features, and to avoid potential battery health issues seen in some iPhone 15 Pro models. - Options for monitoring data usage by device on a Linksys Velop mesh network. Mikah is surprised this router lacks data monitoring and suggests contacting Linksys to request it. Alternatives like using NextDNS for network-wide tracking or a Firewalla device are discussed. - Deleting old iMessage data stored in iCloud. Mikah clarifies you need to adjust the message history setting in both the Messages settings and iCloud Messages settings to fully delete old messages. - Follow-up on using an old Drobo device for storage. A listener shares how Drobo hardware failures combined with the company going out of business and firmware no longer being available makes continuing to use one very risky.
