Agreed. But I’m not what I’d call a community starter.
Yea, I suddenly started getting that too.
Reddit has seriously gone to shit lately, but it’s got a few communities that aren’t present here. Or if they are, I haven’t found them.
Don’t ask.

2·6 months agoPackaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.
Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

2·6 months agoThat’s generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.
It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that’s not usually the case, and it’s usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you’d call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

2·6 months agoRight, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.
Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

6·6 months agoWhat he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won’t affect the price I pay.
But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

1·7 months agoSure they can write laws making it illegal to claim the king of Thailand is a doddering old fool anywhere in the world. Good for them.
They have no legal right to enforce it on me, though. If I visit their country, of course, I will be subject to their laws. But they can’t apply it to me until then.

8·8 months agoIf you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the “predator” behind doesn’t care, you’re fine.
But what will the predator care about tomorrow? Or next year? And how confident are you that aggregate data is not what they want, for whatever reason?

That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.
