<p class="">Big external battery packs are a lifesaver when you’re away from a power outlet, but they can be worthless if they don’t have enough USB ports or support the new USB-C Power Distribution standard. <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/zendure-a8pd-26-800-mah-42w-crush-proof-portable-charger-silver?utm_campaign=zendure-a8pd-26-800-mah-42w-crush-proof-portable-charger-silver_090420&utm_content=a0x1P000004N2Su&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_term=scsf-358333" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>The Zendure A8PD 26,800 mAh 5-port Power Bank</strong></a> features great capacity as well as four USB-A and one USB-C PD output ports to charge all of your gear at once.

<p class="">Back when we first relaunched AWT Live, our first guest was <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong> of <a href="https://macvoices.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MacVoices</a>. It was an amazing interview, but technical difficulties made Chuck almost inaudible. He graciously decided to come back on the show, and today we avoided ALL tech problems for a fun one hour show.</p>

<p class="">Skylum’s Luminar has quickly become a top competitor to Adobe Photoshop for one very good reason — it does a lot of the work of making photographs look their best through the application of artificial intelligence. Today, Skylum announced <a href="https://skylum.evyy.net/c/143055/880106/3255" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Luminar AI</strong></a>, which builds upon the existing Luminar app (which will still continue in development) and adds specific AI assistance for portraits, landscape photos, and professional looks.</p>

<p class="">When we rebooted our live-streaming show <strong>AWT Live</strong> on July 15, 2020, our first guest was <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, the face and voice behind the MacVoices podcast. Chuck is a legend in the world of Apple podcasting, having done literally thousands of interviews over the years both on his show and live at events. Sadly, we had some technical issues with that first recording, which is why we’re inviting Chuck back for an all-new AWT Live.</p>

<p class="">Accessibility is a big thing for Apple, with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS leading the way in terms of usability by anyone regardless of their capabilities. macOS 10.15.4 Catalina added a new alternative control method to the Mac in that it allows users to point, click, and drag and drop with head and facial gestures. Here’s how to set this up:</p>
