It's time for episode 487 of the clockwise podcast from Relay FM recorded Wednesday, January 25th, 2022.

Clockwise, four people, where we half only an hour.

My game is Dan Gordon, and I enjoyed across the internet by my good friend, my pal, my dungeon buddy, because we play

Dungeons and Dragons together on the internet sometimes. It's Micah Sargent. How you doing

today, Micah? Oh, better now that you're here, Dan. Better now that you're here. Yeah, that's right.

I've set the bar real low for everybody today. You are all welcome. I did not sleep a lot last night. Anyways, let's get into the show where we talk

with two fantastic people who have four tech topics. To my left, this week, it is my good friend,

my pal, my co-host on way more podcasts than I can actually mention, including the rebound,

and of course the proprietor of Lex Friedman consulting. It's actually Lex Friedman. Hi, Lex Friedman.

How are you? Hi, it is actually Lex Friedman. Great to be here. Thank you. And to my left,

it is the executive director of Rebellion Pack. It is actually Brianna. Woo! What's crackle-a-lac-and-all?

Everything. Everything is crackle-lacking.a-lac-in, y'all? Everything.

Everything is crack-a-lac-in.

All right, let me kick things off.

Apple has launched new MacBook Pros and new Mac minis.

I want to, do you consider yourself a power user when it comes to buying your hardware?

And I know we're all Mac users here.

Do you buy faster processors, more RAM, more

storage? Do you like upgrade everything? Or do you feel like these days you can get by with what

you need to do with a, you know, more modest machine? Lex, I know some about what you use. Tell me

what you're thinking. Well, it's, first time I'm objecting to power users, which I know as a term that

Apple left for a long time. And it's just, it feels time, objecting to power user, which, you know, has a term that Apple left for a long time.
