Dude, it’s ok if you just want to suck cock.

Way more than you need for Facebook and pornhub. 8GB is fine for a low spec laptop.

They won’t be making iphones, they will be mining the minerals for them.

If you have a product that cost 500 with a markup of 50, but tariffs are pushing it to 750, it could easily be worth spending 50 to reduce tariffs to 650 and sell it at 700. You make just as much profit on each unit and you reduce the per unit cost which likely means more sales.

Ahh so software can cross borders for free. Then presumably they can just rent a shed somewhere to write data to what ever storage media they use these days.

Well does it cost them more or less than the tariff. That is pretty much the only question, its not that much work if it results in a lot of savings.

90%? Not a chance. Even out of people who only speak English as a first language, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand are a lot more than just 10% of the US population. Plus a few other countries that are mostly English first.

Then you have people that speak English as a second language all over the place too.

Been playing Veloren lately. Lot of time in CDDA too.

Yes, in the US. Some of us don’t live in the US though. Given that parts are made in countries like Taiwan surely the tariffs won’t matter much to anyone outside the US?

Well it can be, very high end computer equipment costs a shitload. GPUs cost that much because people now want to spend that much on more performance.

You can get a cheaper card or use the onboard graphics on the CPU.

You have always been able to smuggle goods across borders. It’s also always been illegal if you get caught.

People still do it, typically fags and booze as they have high taxes on them.

I would say it’s more that some studios are spending even more to make them, games don’t have to cost more to make as you can now make a lot more with a smaller team than you could 20 years ago.

Would tariffs apply to the games as well?

Couldn’t they move it to another country first to reduce it a bit?

I have played a couple when someone has brought a switch over. They are ok but you can fuck off if you think I would pay £90 on it. Even £30 and I would look at something else.

More likely to get a steam deck instead. There are plenty of incredibly high quality games there that cost so much less. Just don’t buy games on their launch week to avoid the crap. Wait until it’s well reviewed and been out for a while.

Not played it but didn’t it just put them together well? Rather than specifically innovating too much on its own

Hardly kicking and screaming when you can just turn away.

My game purchases this year have all been under £10. Last year the most expensive was Factorio: Space Age which I bought directly from their site. Most of my playtime this year has been in FOSS games and a few small indies like Soldak games.

I got banned for saying Andrew Tate fans are fucking retarded.

Is there an aspect of privacy through throwing loads of bullshit data though? Instead of blocking the tracking you flood it with crap

At this point I think it’s better to poison the well.
