MacVoices Live! starts of 2022 with the panel talking about some New Year\u2019s objectives (not resolutions), that include email management, delegating some tasks to be able to focus on others, and going paperless. Then, the panel of Jeff Gamet,\xa0Guy Serle,\xa0David Ginsburg,\xa0Jim Rea,\xa0Brittany Smith,\xa0and\xa0Andrew Orr\xa0turn their attention to the Brooks Nader story of AirTag tracking, and whether this is new, or just calling attention to the amount of tracking that has always gone on, and how it is being portrayed in the press. \xa0(Part 1)\xa0
