Ed, you also had a story that came out just one minute ago. We have Anduril joining forces with Qualcomm to produce laptops designed and assembled in The US. Talk to us about the importance of that and why investors should care. Yeah. It's interesting because Qualcomm shares have had a little shot in the arm the the... This morning in the premarket too. Anduril is the sort of leading highest momentum defense technology startup. Qualcomm makes processes. Right? And what they are both saying is that they see a lack of supply chain for computers in The United States as being a national security vulnerability. There is just massive exposure to China in particular on that side. So they have come up with a prototype, of a laptop under a broader initiative called blue chip where they try and, basically leverage what Anderil is good at, which they would argue that the the manufacturing of autonomous drones and weapons is very similar to to building a laptop. And so they want to have a fully established US supply chain. Qualcomm provides the, GPU, CPU, and and other AI compute onboard this thing. Right now, it's very small scale, and there's an admission that in the short term, this is gonna be a very expensive product that's aimed at the the public sector, the military, emergency services, etcetera. But with the timeline that they think they can scale it to have a proper 100% US manufactured laptop with a US supply chain that in time becomes economically competitive with those manufactured overseas.
