MacPowell users, episode 611. Unleashed indeed.

0:12.1

Hello, everyone. This is David Sparks. I am joined by my pal in yours,

0:16.0

Mr. Steven Hackett. Hi, Steven. How are you today?

0:18.8

I'm good, David. This is the day we've been waiting for for a long time.

0:23.4

I am buzzing. I mean, you know, truth be told, we're recording this the day after the event.

0:28.8

I am still buzzing. This event has me so jacked up.

0:33.2

Yeah, it's it's super exciting. If for an event that was only really 50 minutes, I mean,

1:32.8

But even back then, we were saying, okay, this one is tuned for efficiency. What happens when they

turn Apple Silicon into a power chip as opposed to an efficient chip? And I mean, the only thing I

1:44.6

could think that it reminds me of in terms of Apple announcements is back when they announced the

1:50.6

Intel switch and we all flipped out and went into order new Maxi immediately. And I feel like this

1:57.4
