MacVoices #23006: MacVoices Live! - App Clips, QR Codes, and AM Radio (3)

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brittany Smith, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio, Andrew Orr, and Jim Rea continue to discuss the use (or lack) of app clips and why they seem to have disappeared from the user landscape. Do QR codes represent a convenience or a threat vector or both? The panel doesn’t agree on the latter point, and weigh the benefits and risks. A discussion of AM radio (yes, AM radio) wraps up this session. (Part 3)
