1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160 Welcome to Top 5 Tech, my weekly show about what to watch, listen to, read, download, 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,519 and something deep every week. 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,800 On what to watch, Lexi Savides has a really fun video about testing Find My on the iPhone 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,439 with Google's Find features, hid some items around and wanted to see just head to head 5 00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:18,519 which one actually does better at finding the items, which is faster. 6 00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:19,519 It's a really great video. 7 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,820 If you've ever been curious, you know, I'm all in the Find My universe. 8 00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:26,039 But if you want to see how Google does it and how it compares, great video to check 9 00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:27,039 it out. 10 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:28,039 That link's below. 11 00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:30,320 There's been a lot of talk in the news about Apple's 12 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,840 price increases. We've talked about it on Primary Technology, 13 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,280 my show with Jason Ayten every Thursday. But there's a great 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,600 discussion on Accidental Tech Podcast really diving into that 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,679 pricing hike. And so I would recommend that episode, you can 16 00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:44,399 jump to the chapter directly about pricing. And they also 17 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,480 talk about why doesn't Apple just make its own RAM. And they 18 00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,100 have some several explanations about that. Basically, it's very 19 00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:52,439 hard and would take a long time to spin up. But if you want to 20 00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,200 learn more about Apple's pricing, the why, the how and 21 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,799 what they can do about it, that segment on the ATP episode is 22 00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:58,799 really good. 23 00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:00,299 On what to read, I actually did a 24 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,480 video last week on Shortcuts, and one of them was using the Charty third-party app to put 25 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,680 your life progress on a wallpaper on your lock screen. 26 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,120 You may or may not want to see that every day. 27 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,480 But I based the idea on this book, The 4,000 Weeks. 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,579 I really enjoyed this book, read it a couple years ago, and you know, you do have to deal 29 00:01:17,579 --> 00:01:22,359 with our own mortality when you read this book, but I really think it's useful and it 30 00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:23,579 is deep. 31 00:01:23,579 --> 00:01:27,719 And if you're on Kindle Unlimited, which Jason apparently signed up for, you can get it for 32 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:28,719 free. 33 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:30,239 like an eleven dollar paper 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,079 Mac. I highly recommend. Not really tech related, but when it just comes to being present and 35 00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:39,340 really using your time wisely, I really, really enjoyed this book. Four Thousand Weeks by 36 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:44,340 Oliver Berkman. Link to Amazon down below. On what to download, also ATP related, John 37 00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:50,379 Siracusa, this is his app for the Mac, Hyperspace, and it is an app to reclaim disk space without 38 00:01:50,379 --> 00:01:56,099 actually having to download a bunch of files or, you know, manage it all yourself. Now, 39 00:01:56,099 --> 00:01:59,219 I've not tried it just yet, but I've heard really good things. 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,719 do this on my MacBook Air. I'm running the macOS 27 beta on it as well, and it's kind of my 41 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:08,560 experiment machine, so I'm going to try it. I will follow up and let you know how it goes, 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,199 but if you need to free up space on a Mac and you're not sure what to delete, I would try this 43 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:18,240 first. It's free to download, and you can scan and see how much space it will actually free up. 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,520 Then it is a purchase you can unlock for one month for $10. There is a lifetime unlock if this is 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,759 something you want to do for a long time, but if you need to free up space on your Mac, check out 46 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:29,920 hyperspace. It's in the Mac App Store and 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,120 for something deep, it's a holiday week here in the United States. Independence Day is coming up 48 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,800 on Saturday and I'm going to be actually going to the beach in a couple hours. So I'm leaving 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,719 recording this early. We're going to spend a couple of nights out there and just want to 50 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:47,680 encourage you to take some time, enjoy, you know, some time, either quiet time for yourself with 51 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,439 friends and family, whether you're here in the US doing Independence Day or just anywhere here 52 00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:55,680 over the summer. And I just wanted to give you one of my favorite musical pieces. And it kind 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,759 It kind of reminds me of like coming home and nostalgia, but this is 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,800 The Planet Suite. If you've never heard it's an incredible work just front to back. 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,080 Listen to the whole thing. But my favorite and many people's favorite 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,780 movement is the Jupiter movement. There's a section in the middle that's very 57 00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:17,759 melodic that has it's actually been remade as like a choral piece that I 58 00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:20,759 think it's called like "Coming Home" or something like that. It's just a 59 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:24,479 beautiful work and you know if you're at the beach or if you're just sitting 60 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,479 outside sweating in the summer listen to Jupiter. I think you'll enjoy it. I'll put 61 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,960 link to the Apple Music track. 62 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000 as well. 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,159 And that's top 5 this week. 64 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:34,439 Get subscribed to an Apple podcast. 65 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:38,159 You can also get this as a newsletter with all the links in your inbox every Friday. 66 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,800 Link to subscribe or QR code right up here for that. 67 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,240 And if you haven't, would greatly appreciate a five star rating and review in Apple podcast 68 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,280 if you enjoy this short little show. 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Thanks for listening. 70 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,280 Thanks for watching.
