In this episode, Michael admits he never called Apple—no surprise there—and shares what happened instead: experiments, frustrations, and the joys of not resetting VoiceOver live. Damashe breaks down his complicated relationship with to-do list apps, from OmniFocus quirks to why he’s sticking with Todoist (despite some platform inconsistencies).
We also dive into ChatGPT’s deep research mode and how Michael used GPT and Google Apps Script to streamline weekly workflows—what used to take hours now takes seconds. There’s talk of accessibility in Google Sheets and Docs, frustrations with VoiceStream Reader, and Bluetooth weirdness with Apple’s audio routing.
And yes, that one setting in Parallels that makes Mac/Windows integration so much better? We finally figured it out. You’ll want to hear this if you use SharpKeys and Keyboard Maestro.
Bonus rants: the B device still sucks, the Plod is promising, and surprise—your notifications don’t mean what you think they mean.
