  • Which is a good argument for regulation. Regulation prevents industry from doing things that may be in their individual best interest but are against public best interests or the best interests of the industry as a whole.

  • The american market? Nah, for the most part, repair parts also come from Asia.

    So yes, the price of repair parts is likely to go up with these tariffs as well, but regardless repair will be the better choice. With a broken screen for example, it used to be a choice between replacing a $400 device or getting a $200 repair, now it will be a choice between an $800 device or a $300 repair. The situation definitely isn't better for anyone, but making the right choice becomes easier.

  • You really couldn't buy a better dumbass! No really, he's the greatest dumbass in history (and I know, I have the best people telling me), I hear people say all the time that this dumbass is just stupendous! That's just what people are saying, they say this dumbass, he's the most tremendous dumbass out there, way dumber than Canadian or Chinese dumbasses, they couldn't afford dumbasses like this one, not in communist Canada.

  • I mean, it's obviously the price that pushed Android to where it is today.

    The fact is, you can buy some models of Android phones (new) for under $75. This makes smart phones affordable even in developing countries. That fact has sent the number of smart phones in people's hands through the roof. And honestly, part of what makes them cheap to manufacture is in fact that FLOSS base, allowing any company to develop one.

  • Ok, that's a pretty different idea...

    I wonder how feasible it is to run current through a whole chunk of drying concrete on a build site... It does sound potentially difficult, but on the other hand, carbon negative concrete might just be worth the added difficulty.

    Now the trick will be to convince anyone to use a material that is even slightly more expensive, sometimes achievable, but always a challenge.
