Guy English joins us to talk about Lex's guilt-inducing new Mac purchase that he sacrificed his morals for. We talk about refurbed Macs and Vision Pros, Dan's new Folder Automations, iCloud woes, and the reality that Apple just needs to stop doing things. There's a little Lex.Games talk, too.

Guy mentions Lex's interview with Marco Arment from 2018 about the podcast industry.
