Schedule of Product Warranty Liability [Table Text Block]
Warranties on products sold through direct sales channels are primarily for one year. Warranties for products sold through distribution channels are primarily for three years. We accrue for standard warranty costs based on historical trends in warranty charges. The accrual is reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty cost estimates. Estimated warranty charges are recorded within “cost of products” at the time related product revenue is recognized.
Activity related to the standard warranty accrual, which is included in “other accrued liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was as follows:

Total other current assets$1,255 $582 
Short-term restricted cash consists mainly of net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes which have been restricted to support a planned acquisition and are held in a designated money market fund (see Note 10, “Debt,” for additional information). Prepaid assets include deposits paid in advance to contract manufacturers of $191 million and $200 million as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the decrease in other current assets for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 is primarily driven by a decrease in tax receivables.
