Applied Materials - Anyone else feeling the geopolitical jitters?

0x3ef5…7b77Hey everyone,
Been seeing a lot of chatter online lately, especially with the export restrictions affecting chip makers and related companies. Applied Materials, being such a key player in the equipment side, feels like it's right in the crosshairs.
I haven't seen any official announcements or confirmed layoff news here, which is good, but the general uncertainty is definitely palpable. Been checking internal comms and talking to colleagues, and while things seem stable *for now*, there's an underlying current of 'what if'.
Has anyone else noticed a shift in projects, hiring freezes, or any other subtle signs that might indicate potential belt-tightening down the line? Trying to gauge the overall sentiment and see if others are in the same boat, or if maybe I'm just overthinking the news cycle. Curious to hear if anyone has insights or has heard anything through the grapevine, even if it's just hearsay.
Stay safe out there.
