does 18.8% market share for Apple mean that that 81.2% is a majority of Windows and Intel?

Windows 11
I purchased a Awow Mini PC which meets all the requirements of Windows 11 except for the CPU. It meets the Speed, Cores, TPM, Memory requirements but not the CPU type. Is there a way to get past this should I wish to? the main purpose of this mini PC is to be a PLEX server - I am not intending to run the desktop too frequently other than to manage it.

OnePlus 8 and 8T
On the Oneplus site they are selling 8 and 8T models locked to T-Mobile for $299 (128 GB) and $449 (256 GB). I have a 7T with 128 GB that I can get up to $100 for a trade-in. my camera needs are routine. I am not tied to wireless charging.
What experiences do OnePlus 8 and 8T owners have with their phones?

a Surface Pro 7 support story
I purchased a Surface Pro 7 bundle back in Feb from COSTCO. It stopped charging using the Microsoft Charge. It would charge using USB but not the charger it came with or with one I had in hand from my SP4.
I contacted the COSTCO Concierge service to see my options. They put me in touch with Microsoft support and I was sent a new charger. When I tested the new charger, I had the same symptoms. Called COSTCO again and went the same route with MS sending me a replacement charger (#2). I also purchased a third-party charger on Amazon because I was going away and did not want to be without a charger. The Amazon charger arrived 1st and it worked fine -- interesting.
when the 2nd charger arrived - I tested it and it too did not work so I started to suspect the problem was with the SP7. I again called the Costco Concierge service, and this is where it got interesting. Microsoft went to online support and did not answer calls from even Costco. Costco gave me contact info (phone and URL) and when I tried to get support, it reported my warrant had expired in October while I was trying to get this resolved.
The bottom line is the warranty date was when Costco was delivered the SP7s AND Costco failed to update the sales date. It took three calls to Costco before over 2+ weeks to succeed in getting in touch with Microsoft and getting the date reinstated and getting a replacement SP7. The charger I received from Amazon was one for the Surface Book - it was 127W. The SP7 charger is 64W.
I now have a new SP7 that charges with ALL my SP chargers, a Warranty through Dec 2022. While the outcome was good - it was crazy hard. I really do not know how I would have succeeded if not for Costco because the only path open with MS was to pay for support because I saw no way to contest the sales date. Alls well that ends well I guess!

Android as a WiFi Relay
I know I can configure my Android phone using the hotspot to act as a WiFi to Mobile bridge - but what if I want to create a relay that is WiFi to Wifi. Before you ask why would I do that - it is because I sometimes find myself in the situation where I have to purchase a single device wifi plan and I wish to share it with another device. I would like to install on my phone but use my computer with the phone to the paid for plan...
is there an app for that?
