In this week's episode of The Mac & Forth Show Podcast, Alan, Steve and Karl, alongside special guest GazMaz from the mighty MyMac podcast, dive into a variety of captivating tech stories. The discussion opens with the EU's decision to back down from forcing Apple to open up iMessage to competitors, highlighting a significant moment in the debate over digital communication standards. The team then examines Apple's ongoing efforts to lobby against Right to Repair legislation, sparking conversation about consumer rights versus corporate interests. A deep dive into a longstanding Mac audio bug, possibly affecting users for more than two decades, reveals the complexities of software maintenance and legacy issues. The removal of Dolby Vision and Atmos support from Amazon Prime Video leads to speculation about the future of streaming quality. Wrapping up, the episode celebrates love with Apple Music's introduction of two new stations for Valentine's Day, perfectly curated to set the romantic mood. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.
