They will sell less or none if they have to compete with products made in USA sold without the tariff. That's the idea.

But manufacturing in USA will also increase prices, so yeah, Americans will pay more.

Russia, duh!

You can tell what crawler its is by useragent header

Or your screenshot is the proof that the source has changed.

I like my fat Pixel 9. The edges are satisfyingly grippy!

It is, but they're not allowed to talk about it. Social credit.

"adding a feature" = "forcing"

The profile image is still there, right beside the gemini button, and you can still swipe on it.

Black hair helps. Black lipstick is a sure sign.

You mean you still need a dongle for the dongle?

Too bad full size usb ports have mostly disappeared from laptops, so Bluetooth is the only way. Unless they started making usb C dongles?

Docker is more than a cop out for than one use case. It's a way for quickly deploy an app irrespective of an environment, so you can scale and rebuild quickly. It fixes a problem that used to be solved by VMs, so in that way it's more efficient.

Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?

How do you install utilities like kubectl and azure CLI on Android?

I keep saying the same about the iPhone but they keep making new ones

With 640x480 screen i doubt it'll be used for web browsing, unless you use lynx. Firefox in a pinch, but my guess is this will appeal mostly to Linux terminal users.

Full-size usb, Ethernet and keyboard mean you can use it as a Linux computer, install arbitrary debian packages, run shell scripts, python scripts, and you don't need any dongles. This is the differential factor. You can't do the same on a smartphone, and it's not supposed to be a smartphone. Why would you need a separate sim card when you can simply tether Internet from your phone?

I get that this device isn't for you, but there are people who don't want to write and maintain apps through apps stores and simply want to copy simple scripts into a small device they can have with them. It's a niche market and good for them for trying to fill that niche.

I wonder what they use for charging port if not usb c...

I tend to stick to the same authors, so I trust them. I doubt Michael Connelly, or John Grisham will use AI and even if they do the book will still end up being good because they will use it as an inspiration rather than copy paste it into a book.

Not all smells are bad

You think Bash is the easiest language? I have to Google the syntax every time i need to write and IF statement!

According to the linked article it should be an encircled +
