Mac Power Users 851: Feedback

Mac Power Users

It’s a feedback episode, which means Stephen and I finally crack open the mailbag that’s been piling up. I went hard at Apple Home since we last talked. I nuked my twelve-year-old setup, ran Ethernet cable around the house for Aqara cameras, and put in an Aqara U400 lock that opens when I walk up with my arms full of groceries. We also get into the smart scale I’m sending back, why I still process raw photos in Pixelmator Pro, and the risk-and-reward math of letting an AI read your email. Stephen brought actual contraband to this one, a DJI Osmo Pocket 4 that “fell off a truck” in front of his house. I talk about my new TRMNL X e-ink display, the new MCP server DEVONthink 4.3 added, and my long-running campaign to get Stephen to back up off-site. Over in More Power Users, Stephen walks through every piece of gear he’s hauling to WWDC. Come for the home automation, stay for the battery hoarding.
