This week you’ll learn to lean on Apple Intelligence to translate almost any text on the fly, lock down and hide sensitive apps on iOS, and finally tame your Desktop by remembering it’s just part of the Finder: flip on Stacks and/or let Hazel do the sorting for you. You’ll dig into why a 4K monitor looks different on your Mac than it does on Windows or Linux, hear how a BenQ display stacks up against a beloved LG, and grab Mirror Mode and BetterDisplay tricks for when you power down an external screen. Cracked your MacBook screen? Hook up an external display to rescue your data, or give that machine new life as a headless server. You’ll also get Siri reminding you the moment you arrive somewhere, and discover why your robot vacuum deserves an annual reset. Then it’s your questions: whether you actually need a Plex Pass, and how to not get caught off guard when the lifetime price leaps to $749.99 on July 1st! Plus how to wrangle your @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com addresses and confirm a cable is truly PD-qualified before you trust it. Cool Stuff Found rounds things out with a color-screen USB cable tester, single-purpose apps that nail one job, agentic coding adventures, a Logitech Combo Touch case for your iPad Pro, and Mole’s brand-new macOS app. And when your Mac finally screams that it’s out of space? You’ll know exactly what to do. Don’t Get Caught missing it. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1144 for Monday, June 1st, 2026 June 1st: Flip a Coin DayMGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Clif-QT-Use Apple Intelligence to translate (almost) any text00:03:33 Pilot Pete-QT-iOS Secure Apps & Hide Apps iOS Mac Geek Gab YouTube Channel Shorts 00:05:41 Ben-QT-Reminder that the Desktop is part of the Finder00:06:33 Using Stacks on the Desktop Finder, move to Desktop, then View > Use StacksUse Hazel to keep your Desktop, Downloads, and more organized 00:12:39 Albert-QT-Why a 4K Monitor is Different on Mac vs. Windows/Linux00:16:01 BenQ MA270UP 27” 4K Display looks (to Dave) as good as his former LG Display00:20:04 Drewski-QT-Mirror Mode helps when powering off a connected external monitor BetterDisplayLG 27UP850K-W 27-inch Ultrafine 4K UHD that Adam uses 00:23:55 What to do when your MacBook screen is broken?
