IPad revenue was $ 7.807 billion, up from $ 4.368 billion in the same period last year. The growth was 78.7% year on year. Mac revenue was $ 9.102 billion, up 70% year over year.
However, during a conference call, when Tim Cook was asked about his expectations for iPad and Mac shipments in the second half of this year, he said he could not provide details, but expects that supply issues could affect the iPad and Mac product lines. …
According to Cook, the global chip shortage will mainly affect iPads and Macs, with the problem on the supply side, not the demand side.
At the same time, Apple CFO Luca Maestry also said that due to iPad and Mac supply restrictions, they expect revenues to fall by $ 3-4 billion in the next fiscal quarter.

McDonalds introduced a smart smoke detector in the form of “Big Mac”. If smoke is detected in the kitchen, he will offer to order something from McDonalds

McDonalds has introduced a smart smoke detector in the Netherlands that looks like an upside-down Big Mac. The device is called McDelivery Detector, and this name well reflects its essence.
The sensor is supposed to be installed on the ceiling in the kitchen. When smoke is detected, McDelivery Detector will prompt the user not to bother with further cooking, but simply to order something from the McDonalds assortment instead of what burned out on the stove or microwave. If the user agrees, the order is automatically routed to the nearest McDonalds restaurant.
McDelivery Detector is only available as part of an advertising campaign in the Netherlands. In order to enter the giveaway and get one of the sensors, participants in the game must submit examples of “their worst culinary mistakes.”
