funny to bring this one up as an example among the others (but i suppose it's evidence that things can go the other way).
i was waiting to buy a new M5 MBP this year until they got so cozy with the current administration. now i'm just making do with my current machine until i can get a decent price on a used M5 machine in a couple of years. i'm in the process of cancelling all of my recurring apple subscriptions as well.
i'll probably use macs for as long as i use computers, but i think i'm done giving apple any money directly.
