If you're eligible to buy AppleCare and haven't done so yet I would recommend it. Replacement devices are likely to be quite expensive for a bit. If you smash your phone you don't want to have to purchase one with the 104% tariff in place.
And right back up, incredible and it's not dumb retail bidding it up at this hour. We're a country that couldn't accept inflation during a pandemic and somehow we're going to patriotically accept cutting off trade with China for a reason that changes entirely depending on who is talking?
One bright spot is Tesla is down another 10% right now in overnight trading. What’s the price where Elon starts talking about how these tariffs are a huge mistake?
Incredibly frustrating that every single business leader in this country is a complete coward. Comment publicly!
But you forgot to mention she’ll be able to get a low wage job to sew clothes and thus make America rich!
And unlike politicians and (apparently) every single business leader, markets cannot be effectively bullied. It’s going to be interesting to see him try and fight this one.
And if the numbers were bad he would have completely blamed it on Biden.
The lunar eclipse from the middle of downtown Seattle last night. What a sight!
Tides would be really tricky on Earth if we had a couple hundred moons (I know these are comparatively very small, but still fun to think about)
Not only that, the President tried to pump the stock and failed. Really running out of tricks to pull out of the hat.
Tesla sales figures must be absolutely atrocious if they’re trying this pump already.
Why does your headline say Mexico would be paying these tariffs? To be clear it is Americans importing the goods who would be paying the new Trump Tax.
It makes some sense, there’s no hope for a vaccine against MAGA
I never get them at home in Seattle and got one immediately after landing in Florida and going through a toll. No idea how someone could connect a rental car license plate to my cell in real time. And after all that they use a random hotmail address that makes it scream scam… Bizarre stuff.
West Coast for the win!
Apple has not yet started charging the new tax to customers. I just did a build to order which will ship directly from China. People are going to go nuts when this changes.
I had an amazing couple days in Cannon Beach, Oregon this week. My first photo trip of the year and the most successful I’ve had in a long time.
Sure you have to suffer watching the Vikings, but holy shit you got to watch the first six episodes of Severance before everyone else. What a flex!
With Noel Francisco absolutely bombing at the Supreme Court today in TikTok v. Garland it’s clear that once again I don’t own enough Meta stock. This should be the biggest news story in the country, it’s just 9 days until TikTok goes away.
Are data centers the one thing America has actually been able to build rapidly?
I’m going to a 90s theme party tonight which is an excellent excuse to whip out one of the first hand held cell phones made. iPhone for scale, this thing is a beast!
This is just to fix the earlier contract that Microsoft agreed to let OpenAI declare AGI at their sole discretion and cut Microsoft out. This new definition conveniently lines up with the earlier agreed profit share. It doesn’t really have anything to do with AGI.
Not a great sign for remote work sticking around if a company with no revenue and 20 people is their top example.
As we enter re-release podcast week it’s a great time to mention audio books are actually better than podcasts. I’m a huge fan of the app Libby which connects with your local library and lets you check out audio books for free, it’s amazing.
Not only are most sequels a let down, the Squid Game creator originally said he wasn’t planning on one and then said he’s doing it for the money. It never had a chance. www.bbc.com/news/article...
For news outlets sure, but lots of real people seem to love taking the bait and get mad about the dumb things he says. He loves to “own” the libs and the libs seem to love being owned. It’s bizarre.
Having leaders simply state it’s not going to happen is enough. No need for outlets like CNN to talk about it seriously.
Some people somehow still haven’t figured out he’s a bullshitter/troll and says crazy stuff just to get a reaction. The correct amount of time to worry about Panama, Greenland or Canada is zero.
Feels like that ship has been hanging out for a while too
It never ceases to amaze me how big cargo ships are (and this isn’t an especially large one). That’s a Washington State Ferry loaded with 100+ vehicles in front and it looks like a life boat in comparison.
