Michael and Damashe are back for another lively and unpredictable episode of Technically Working. As always, they jump right into the conversation—no theme music, no fluff—just two friends troubleshooting, laughing, and dropping Mac tips along the way.

This week:

Reaper, Audio Hijack, and VO shortcuts: Michael discovers Audio Hijack's behavior when blocks are disabled, and Damashe reminds us of handy VoiceOver key combos.

Finder tip: Learn how to group selected items into a new folder using Command-Control-N. The duo explores Finder views (column vs. list) and relives the chaos of a long-past Finder bug.

LaunchBar, Hazel, and file organization: Damashe shares how he uses LaunchBar to move files efficiently. Michael appreciates Hazel for keeping his Downloads folder neat.

Rage-quitting Todoist: Michael shares how missing a single day ended a streak and triggered a dramatic break-up with his task manager.

TikTok accessibility talk: Michael compares the experience between iOS and Android, and Damashe wonders about passkeys, logins, and using multiple accounts.

Doorbell drama: Listener Shahzad wants to know which video doorbell works best for blind users. Michael and Damashe dive into pros and cons of Reolink, Eufy, Ring, and Akara options—plus some thoughts on creepy listening features.

Screen recognition rants: The guys debate Apple’s screen recognition and its reliability—or lack thereof.

Chapters in podcasts? Shahzad's feedback leads to a bigger conversation about how chaotic their episodes are and whether chapters would help (hint: it’s complicated).

The future of the Technically Working website: Damashe breaks the site while trying to add pagination and a summary button. They explore self-hosting, podcast membership plugins, and maybe even building their own subscription system.

Belkin's tracking stand as a DIY CCTV: A surprise use case for a MagSafe stand shows how accessibility tools sometimes come from the most unexpected places.

Apple's new magnifier for Mac: Could your Mac become your CCTV with Continuity? Possibly.

Tip Jar perks: A teaser for Tip Jar subscribers—bonus episodes, early access, and a soon-to-be test group for new site features.

Recorded with questionable Finder settings and occasional muting that wasn't muting.
