Other than gamers, there's a huge share of enterprise Windows users. And they're not likely to shift OS, because of IT admin issues. Others in this thread have commented on how Apple is struggling to get devs to build native games compared to Windows.

Sure the number of home PC users might decline, one can always hope.

No, he's not. Have you looked at commercial real estate especially around dedicated business districts in cities such as London, Paris and Frankfurt? Long story short, a lot of businesses (big ones such as HSBC) are moving to city centers and into smaller offices.

But yeah most houses in France don't have a bidet. They wipe

That's a lot of speculation for a single cable

Headphone jack means I can use the same earphones for years and not throw away my wireless earphones after a year (of heavy use). Whole point of Airpods was to create a new revenue stream for Apple, not just make your life easier.

Checked Apple forums, you're right. It's 200GBs shared

If they can't hold on to these, they should just return them.

Even if they could hold on, they should return them, but clearly aren't willing to.

Kind of missing the point. The current embargo means Russia sells its oil for a lot cheaper to India, which then refines and resells it to the west. This allows for enough oil supply to not push prices too high for everyone and Russia is the only one losing. Sure India doesn't enforce sanctions, but they aren't exactly cozying up like the Chinese.

When talking about messaging apps, you've to use the one that's easiest to use even for the most noob tech person.

Signal uses phone number, because that's how people generally communicate. It's easy to use, setup. No privacy nightmares compared to WhatsApp, or security nightmares compared to Telegram (where E2EE is not even on by default). It's open source, regularly audited and can be used on any device (no more proprietary green bubble nonsense). There's still a market for Threema and Matrix, etc. It just never will be mainstream.

Elementary OS is very similar to MacOS. Check it out

Currently the real estate market seems to be on very shaky grounds as developers have debts that they're not being able to pay off. So bonds whose coupons are due are not being paid.

Chinese citizens generally pay up front a certain amount (or fully) long before they move into their apartments. This money is generally used to complete construction. But developers seem to have used this to buy other properties for construction, over leveraging themselves. And now that construction is wayyy behind schedule and the people still can't move in, they're refusing to pay their mortgages causing banks to pull back lending and become more strict with debt restructuring for developers.

Tldr: Way too many homes built for people who don't want them. Lots of loans might be unpaid. Might affect other sectors.
