#1450: CES gizmos keep coming, Apple releases bug fix OS updates, Spectrum TV aims to replace cable box, remember RAM Doubler?

We’re still working our way through Jeff Porten’s coverage of the most interesting gadgets and services from CES 2019. More prosaically, Apple updated all four of its operating systems with bug and security fixes, but no new features. If you’re a Spectrum subscriber, you can now get an Apple TV app that could replace your cable box—Michael Cohen took it for a test drive. Finally, remember RAM Doubler? Join us on a 25-year trip down memory lane. Notable Mac app releases this week include Security Update 2019-001 (High Sierra and Sierra), Safari 12.0.3, GraphicConverter 10.6.8, Default Folder X 5.3.3, Slack for Mac 3.3.7, RapidWeaver 8.1, Pixelmator Pro 1.3, Agenda 4.1, and Hazel 4.3.4.
