  • Trump has got another great idea. A tax of 1.5 million dollars for each ship made in China that will dock at any American port, or 1 million if the ship is not made in china but the shipper fleet has a majority of Chinese ships.

    So, off before they did like California, Panama, Louisiana, new York, those stops will increase the price of shipping by 4.5 million dollars.

    Trump thinks that in this way, in a couple weeks, shipyards will reopen in the states and everyone will buy American ships. Because it takes a couple days to build an oil tanker

    Result:

    They'll just unload the goods in Canada or Mexico then use trains/trucks. For oil and coal and wheat and other stuff that can't be easily transported by land without ax existing infrastructure, that's an additional 20% cost on top of tariffs. Inflation go go go

  • Yes they artificially increased sales by FOMO by announcing a delisting date like 6 months after launch

    In this way people thought "OMG better paying NOW $60 for this collection of decades old games or I'll lose the chance in the future"

  • I wanted to encrypt against physical theft but then I realized that the server weighs 20kg and there's more valuable and lighter stuff to steal. And a thief would never be able to mount the zfs array, they'll just fence my $2000 server for $50 and someone else will sell it piece by piece on ebay. And between people who buys used drives online on ebay almost nobody is going to do a full surface scan of a 12tb drive in the hopes of finding valuable data.

  • I read a review with 3.8/5 rating on a e-reader review website:

    This means the device is essentially a hodgepodge of leftover parts glued together with some of the biggest bezels we’ve ever seen. The top tablet is pulled from the bottom of the bin, so it is maxed out at Android 10 and cannot be updated.

    Cons

    • Absolutely zero dual-screen applications
    • Old tablet and old e-reader screen
    • Stock Pen is terrible
    • Only Supports Android 10

    With a review like that they still give 3.8/5???? Sponsored much, huh? It should be 1/5

  • Can you elaborate? Because the tax also applies on spare parts, do the car will cost 40% more to purchase (25% is the tax that the manufacturer has to pay, so in order to keep the same net profit margin they had to increase much more the MSRP) AND will cost 40% more to repair

  • In their case they're using a variant of Google for automotive, so enabling apple carplay and android auto is literally a checkbox on GM side

    They're doing extra work to disable it because they want to render the car worthless when after a few years when the os is outdated and the user doesn't pay a subscription for maps
