This week, you’re loaded with Quick Tips to streamline your Apple life. You’ll learn how to nest Notes folders, edit Siri Reminders from your Lock Screen, and why your iPhone needs to stay locked for Continuity Camera magic. Discover how to whip up Wi-Fi QR codes with ease, subscribe to ICS calendars instead of juggling downloads, and harness your Apple Watch’s crown like a pro. Adam and Dave help you stay ahead of Plex Pass price hikes and unlock unsigned apps in macOS 15 Sequoia. Just Don’t Get Caught by iCloud’s aggressive junk filter or Tailscale’s Terminal-only Lock requirement—they could trip you up.
Your questions kept things rolling, from backing up iCloud Drive with Backblaze to finding the right VPN—whether it’s PIA, ExpressVPN, or Tailscale exit nodes. Photo Exifer tricks help you sync titles and captions in your iCloud Photo Library, and Cool Stuff Found delivers: pop your public IP into your menu bar, snag a MoFT Snap Flow Note for your iPhone, and hear why Claude Code tops the LLM game for developers.
What’s that about the future of AI? Yeah, we’re going there. It’s national cocktail day, after all! Press play and enjoy.
