Summary

Apple had a record-breaking quarter that showed strong growth in all areas of its business, but clouds loom on the horizon. A global semiconductor shortage threatens Mac and iPad sales, the EU ruled that the App Store is anticompetitive, and Apple's court case with Epic Games is about to kick off.

0:00.0	From RelayFM, this is Upgrade Episode 351, today's show is brought to you by FitBod,
0:15.3	Hello, and Text Expander. My name is Mike Hurley. I am joined by Jason Snow. Hello, Jason Snow.
0:21.2	Hello, Mike Hurley. How are you? I'm fine and dandy, my friend. Do you have a hashtag
0:24.7	SnowTalk question from Ivan, and Ivan wants to know, Jason, how do you wake your Mac from sleep?
0:30.3	Do you press the specific key on the keyboard? Do you click a mouse key? What do you do?
0:35.0	It's the one and only Ivan. I feel like I've gotten this question before. I feel like I've
0:39.3	I've gotten at a certain point we will answer all of the same questions more than once.
0:43.6	I suppose so. The answer is I don't. I guess I do have a laptop now. I have a MacBook Air

1:27.8	the fact that Apple Silicon Macs, because they've got the the efficiency cores, there's basically
1:34.7	no like power nap anymore. They are just capable of running with their efficiency cores as needed
1:42.8	and doing stuff in the background. And I thought maybe when I get an Apple Silicon Mac at my desk
1:48.8	here, I will consider not shutting it down, but instead putting it to sleep and seeing how
1:53.8	that is. But so many years of dealing with laptops that would not wake from sleep and having to
2:00.8	reboot when things got weird. Having a desktop again as my primary, I just really enjoyed the idea
2:06.9	that every day it was it was fresh and not running for 40 days in a row and weird things start to
