Summary

Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference has come and gone again, and frankly there were enough interesting additions to the company's various OSs that we figured an episode was warranted even before we got to "Apple Intelligence." We do our best in this jumbo episode to round up everything from silly corporate stunts to a (finally, maybe) context-aware Siri, an intelligent way to deal with too many notifications, build-your-own emojis, better vitals on the watch, MacOS's long-overdue window-snapping, and too many other features to list. Support the Pod! Contribute to the Tech Pod Patreon and get access to our booming Discord, a monthly bonus episode, your name in the credits, and other great benefits!

0:22.7	Recall for people who don't remember.
0:24.6	It's the feature that takes the screenshot of everything on your, on your computer, including
0:27.7	like passwords and, and financial data and stuff like that.
0:30.8	And then dumps it in a database where it's machine imaged and recognized to like know what
0:35.5	is on each screenshot.
0:36.9	And then it's searchable, which seems like
0:39.2	kind of an interesting idea, not something I'm going to turn on. But the privacy people were like,
0:44.0	oh, it's really bad. Somebody gets hold of your computer, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like,
0:46.5	you know, the computer's hard drive is encrypted with Bitlocker, presumably because that's on by
0:51.0	default on machines that this is on by default on shouldn't be that big a deal unless they did something dopey like save it in unencrypted in
0:58.6	user space where every application that's running on the computer can have access to it
