Luca recounts how his friend Carolina created a new admin user on her Mac, activated FileVault, then forgot both passwords, leading to a recovery nightmare.

The episode begins with the hosts thanking donors and discussing transcript search functionality, using a personal anecdote about a friend's Mac password disaster. They then explain how to use Activity Monitor to identify apps still running on Intel architecture instead of native Apple Silicon, noting that Rosetta translation support will end with macOS 27. The hosts analyze a Wall Street Journal interview with Apple executives Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak, expressing surprise that Vision Pro wasn't mentioned when discussing the future of computing. They discuss an article by Federico Vitici interviewing Federighi about iPad multitasking evolution. Federico provides a solution for managing Live Photos storage on iPhone, explaining how to disable them and that videos are automatically deleted after 30 days. The hosts then tackle a question about Google Photos, describing the cumbersome process of deleting photos and issues with metadata when exporting via Google Takeout. They recommend using GitHub scripts by Mirkwood to fix EXIF data. Federico shares his experience with a children's camera called GoFundMe, discussing photo import issues solved using ImageOptim compression. The hosts compare ImageOptim to web alternatives like Kraken.io and Breeze PDF Editor. They discuss macOS 26's native support for OCI containers, potentially eliminating the need for Docker Desktop. The episode concludes with warnings about SSD data loss over time and recommendations for refreshing stored data annually.
