[Leica] Windows 11 in YOUR future?

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

It is obvious that none of you Apple aficionados play games! 😁

You should also remember that Xi Jiping's most valuable "useful idiot"
nowadays is Apple - Tim Cook has actually increased Apple's supply chain
dependence on China in the last 18 months (source:NYT). A point to keep in
mind if a trade war does break out, or, God forbid, another pandemic is let
loose among us.

Cheers
