Om avsnittet

Bring back a tap-to-stop button for alarms and timers in iOS 26 with one Accessibility setting, then let Siri do the math when you ask for a timer that ends at a specific time. You’ll also learn how tapping the time in Apple Podcasts shows when your episode will actually finish at your listening speed, why your Apple Watch’s suggested replies suddenly got smarter, and how your cursor can glide between two Macs sitting side by side. Plus, fix shared external drives that refuse to let you write by checking the volume’s permissions, and find out why Siri AI can fail when Tailscale routes you through an exit node.

Then it’s your questions: get Migration Assistant to see your old Mac (you have to run it on both) or skip it and just move your mail, decide whether an iPhone 18 Pro really makes Siri AI better than your 16 Pro, and get two-factor codes to auto-fill in Chrome with a simple click-away-and-back trick. You’ll hear why browsing Time Machine backups on a NAS crawls and what to look for in a UPS for your Mac mini. And in Cool Stuff Found, add a ring light to any Mac with LightBuddy, Webcam Ring Light or RingLight, snooze your reminders with Unforgetful, confirm your security patches with SilentKnight, and clean up a noisy mic with Waves NS1.
