Welcome to Mac Power Users. I'm David Sparks and joined as always by Mr. Stephen Robles.

Hello, Stephen. How are you today? I'm doing really well. I'm excited to talk about more

workflow stuff. It's been changing just every day, it seems like. So much stuff is happening

model-wise AI stuff. So I'm excited to talk about it with you. Yeah, we've got an AI episode. We're not going to do it every week, but we thought occasionally it'd be useful to talk about what we're doing with AI and the kind of the current state of it. We're calling this episode useful AI because that's what we're looking for here, AI that's actually useful for you, what we're doing and how we're doing it. But I got to tell you, Stephen, this morning was glorious. I woke up early, as I do, came downstairs,

and as the sun rose, so did my blinds for the very first time. The smart home coming in handy.

That's very fun. Yeah, it is.

We're going to do a bonus episode on you helping me get my, because I've been investing

in HomeKit.

I'm just still going to call it HomeKit, sorry.

But I've got some stuff.

I want some automation help from my Apple Home Pro buddy.

So we're going to talk about that on a bonus episode. So if you're a more Power Users episode, more Power Users subscribers, stay tuned. You get the ad-free extended version of every show plus some of these bonus episodes. That's going to be coming in a few weeks. And I'm really enjoying this setup when it doesn't make me crazy. That's good. I know you still have been working it out, but it's been solid for a number of days now. Yeah, no, it's good. No, it's good. It's a journey. I had to reset my home because the 12-year-old setup just needed a kick in the pants. I will talk about that. And I will say smart shades,

it is one of the more fun smart home devices, you know, scheduling those because it's one of those things where, I don't know about you, but for a long time I just wouldn't open shades just because you don't think about it, the manual prospect of it. But when you can automate that, it's nice. Get to see out your windows more. Yeah. And the one of them is behind my studio desk.

So getting to it to raise it and nice. Get to see out your windows more. Yeah. And the one of them is behind my, my studio

desk. So getting to it to raise and lift, it's not trivial. So it's kind of nice now that like

when the sun sets and it starts coming in, I just push a button or if I want to record and

control the light in a room, again, just it's really easy. So that's something that folks should be

checking out. But that's how we're here today. We were going to talk today about AI. I guess we

should also mention for the bonus segment of today's episode. Stephen is, I think, going to

try and talk me off the ledge. We got, we got the news this week that the,

the Mac studio is further delayed.

For those keeping score, I'm on the M2 studio.
