-Woo Jin Ho, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Hardware and Networking Analyst, discusses the PC market. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Dell, Lenovo and Apple's supply-chain scale and product breadth position them to defend or gain share in a sustained PC downturn.

-Beth Kowitt, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses her column: “LinkedIn Users are Rewriting the Past to Land Jobs.” Researchers at Stanford University and Revelio Labs found that nearly 20% of established US LinkedIn users edited the descriptions or titles of jobs they had left years earlier, with tech workers doing so at a rate of nearly one in three. These changes, dubbed "time travel," aren't made while memories are still fresh, but instead reflect a change in personal branding, with the median time-travel edit occurring more than four years after the user left the role.

-Paige Smith, Bloomberg Consumer Finance Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Trump’s Family Joins the Sprint to Get a National Bank Charter.” Donald Trump's family has won preliminary approval to start a national bank, riding a wave of deregulation under the Trump administration. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has approved 22 bank charter applications in the first 19 months of the president's second term, with many going to fintech and digital-asset firms.
