Seems pretty alarmist. Most and perhaps all of the stuff about relations with China is true of absolutely every company that engages in the market in China. Only difference is that China would face quite a more backlash in China itself if it attempted to cut off everything with Apple versus the vast majority of smaller companies that it can crush.
Looking at the author I didn't really find anything that suggests he is any better at predicting the future better than anybody else.

I tend to agree. Quote: ... Almost a fifth of its revenue comes from sales in China, ...
So, <20% Chinese sales revenue, >80% not-Chinese sales revenue. Oh yeah, definitely a Chinese company.

Don't forget far greater than 20% of their products are made in Chinese factories, that have nets designed into the buildings to keep their workers from committing suicide.
ChatGPT:
What percentage of Apple products are produced in China?
Apple products are mostly manufactured in China. The exact percentage varies depending on the product, but a significant portion of Apple products are produced in China. For example, in 2020, it was reported that around 90% of all iPhones were manufactured in China. Additionally, a majority of other Apple products such as iPads, Macs, and AirPods are also produced in China. It's worth noting that although the manufacturing is done in China, many of the components used in Apple products are sourced from various countries around the world.

Which of course has nothing to do with the impact if China were to cut all ties to Apple.

Yes with perhaps 200,000 to 300,000 employees. So if China turns it off tomorrow all of those angry workers are going to be hitting the street in one city.

Apple's close relationship with China and its ruling Communist Party has allowed the tech giant to operate with relative ease in the country, despite growing concerns over human rights abuses and the crackdown on pro-democracy protests. Apple's CEO Tim Cook has embedded the company ever deeper in China over the past 20 years, and almost a fifth of its revenue comes from sales in China, with operating profits in greater China of $31.2bn in 2022. Critics argue that Apple's relationship with China undermines the company's values and reputation, with some accusing it of supporting CCP objectives. Despite this, Cook continues to praise the "symbiotic" relationship.
According to the article, almost a fifth of Apple's revenue comes from sales in China, and operating profits in greater China (including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the mainland) topped $31.2 billion in 2022. However, the article also suggests that given the near impossibility of getting large sums out of China, these profits may not even be money good. It's important to note that while China is a significant market for Apple, the company still generates a substantial portion of its revenue from other regions around the world.

Hmmm, I don't see that issue - I can drag the tab around in the tab bar and it moves around on the tab bar without undocking. Perhaps when you're dragging the tab around your mouse is leaving the tab area which causes it to undock?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope. As soone as my mouse moves it undocks
But it never did that before on VS2019, so something changed
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I use 2022, and as long as my mouse stays on the tab line, it doesn't undock it just slides left and right. Could your mouse be "jittering" slightly, just enough to move you off the line when you click?

Drag it off the tab bar though ...
|
|

It stays if you drag horizontally. It's sensitive though and undocks too easily, which can be annoying at times.

Sql Studio 2012 has very similar behavior, so that "feature" has been in their products for a while.

I often read rants about how MS has removed/added/changed some feature here and generally react meh so what.
Does anyone else use the wheel click to open a url in a new tab? I have been using it for so long it has got into muscle memory but now I need to right click and select from a menu. And so I join the ranks of the thoroughly pissed off windows users.

I had this on a mouse once, turned out the button had failed as when I switched to a new mouse, it worked again. Just tried this on Edge and it's working okay for me.

Yeah, I use middle click to open new links, close tabs, etc. Still works for me.
