Casually putting in a prophecy for the ages for a company that almost went bankrupt 15 years ago. What are the odds you're giving for this always bet?

Yes, you are correct the leadership is not guaranteed forever, but given apple's track record and their unique positioning in the market, I am certain they are sorted for at least our lifetime and likely a few decades beyond that.

The weak point of apple is they don't make their own chips, they rely on ARM for the core design IP and TSMC for manufacturing, whereas samsung I think has their chip design and manufacturing in house, despite that they aren't the leader.

Which tells that apple's focus on optimization and strategic partnerships seems to be the winning formula for now, but for how long? I say at least few decades.

Downgrading from always to decades is a good start... However even decades is too long to predict with any certainty... By 2050 whether the us will even have the highest gdp or not is not guaranteed and given their trajectory highly unlikely it will no longer be the top dog or at the very least not the only top dog... Let alone a company nobody can predict what happens to a country in decades... For example, nobody predicted world wars before they happened

Replacement for dead xbox controller. Got this for Hall effect sensor and glowing reviews online. Got it from Amazon for 2,999/-.

First impressions
Really liked the joystick and keys.
Feedback is strong.
Connection to Windows PC using dongle was very easy.

The left top exhaust fan will directly exhaust the air from the rear intake fan before the air reaches the CPU cooler. It would be better to remove it and just keep the right top fan.

I found CPU to be 2-3C cooler than just 1 exhaust, not sure what is the reason so i kept it. Rear intake is around 300 rpm faster than top fan also.
