And at a certain point, it's just less expensive to, you know, turn off the or stop paying for the seven nanometer line to be manufacturing chips and just take the five nanometer ones or whatever. but I personally hope they keep increasing the SOC because I believe there is a potential future in it as a casual game platform for the television.

I prefer it to... I certainly prefer it to buying a Raspberry Pi and hooking it up, and I prefer it to having to log over one of my big game consoles because right now it's the only gaming thing I have connected to my big TV, and it's just there for brief casual game sessions or a few particular games that are available on Apple TV, but... Yeah, we'll find out when they release the next one.

Find out what they do. Have they made it more powerful? Have they made it more expensive? Have they added a fan or is it just status quo?

It's not an easy thing to do. And when he first sent this, I replied and I said, that sounds like the way you did an SMC reset on T2 Max, but actually that particular finger twister is slightly different. We'll put a link in the show notes to that one. So even though it sounds like something you might've heard before, it's different.

And Daniel said he tried it while listening to the show just to make sure it works. And sure enough, it does. So it is complicated and it can be done. Lots of other people are like, why do you have this problem? Just turn on the screensaver.

Because if you turn on the screensaver, like with a screen lock, the only way you're going to do anything damaging to your computer is if you accidentally fat finger your password into the lock thing or touch the touch ID thing with your fingerprint. So...

this is not that big of a problem but if you really do want your computer to be off it is frustrating that it keeps turning itself back on so if you if you want to fix to that problem this will apparently work i do wonder what this is doing like that's why i was like oh no is this doing an smc reset is it going to reset some firmware things is it going to like turn on the boot chime when the boot chime was off have you noticed any ill effects casey from trying this

Yeah, they should just put this, like, instead of these weird, you know, key combo and things and holding stuff, just put it in, like, the recovery thing or put it something, like, they have a place where they have, like, the so you want to do a weird thing to your computer, like, when you boot in recovery mode or you hold down the power button or whatever. Put this there with a GUI or something.

Or add a feature to macOS. Maybe they'll get to it eventually that just says, I'm going to clean my keyboard, lock everything up. And I guess they would probably just say that's the screensaver, but... Anyway, like the boot chime, right? So on Macs, from the very first Mac, when you turn them on, they would make a chiming sound, and Apple has changed the chime over the years.

And then eventually, they added the ability to turn off that chime. And that used to be like a firmware setting, but now there's actually a GUI for it. That's a perfect example of something like some people don't want their Mac to make a noise when it boots or restarts or whatever, and some people do.
