First, apologies for the audio quality (low volume) on my side of the discussion.

In this podcast, Todd Ogasawara (low volume side of the discussion) and Jon Westfall discuss: Linux GUI Apps Coming to Windows 10; Krita open source painting program; Still no notification about moving music from Google Play Music to YouTube Music.

In this podcast Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discuss:

iPad Pro 11-inch replaced. No more spontaneous shutdowns and reboots

https://youtube.googleblog.com/2020/05/youtube-music-transfer-google-play-music-library.html">Google Play Music going away. Forced to switch to YouTube Music. But, no sign of the "transfer button" on YouTube Music for iPadOS.

How much credence should I give to browser speed tests like https://browserbench.org/">Speedometer 2.0? I began wondering about this as I debate whether to buy the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet when it is available somewhere (other than in reviewers' hands).

Jon’s Using his Apple Watch to its full potential.

iOS text messages & multiple devices - notifications problem

Still struggling with URL Schemes with Microsoft Office (why doesn’t ms-excel:// always open in office or Excel - WHY would it open Onedrive?!?)

Revisiting the Microsoft Whiteboard app

Microsoft Office app for iOS and Android

Jon’s Struggle to use a Apple 27’’ Cinema Display (2010, not thunderbolt, Mini-Displayport) with USB C. Cost of my desired refresh.
