Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC

[olgratin_magmatoe@slrpnk.net]

Surely this will bring egg prices down.

[tempest@lemmy.ca]

He's going, or is, senil. The tariffs are just something that got into his head that are simple to understand.

But it can run cyberpunk at a whole 21 frames per second!

[lemminary@lemmy.world]

I didn't say that.

[panarab@lemm.ee]

Poor USA, forced to be an empire

[itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world]

Trump is on china's side. Make no mistake he like their way of doing things.

[olympicyes@lemmy.world]

In a way I’m glad he’s doing this. He’s going to inflect so much pain that he loses in a landslide in four or 8 years or whatever. If income tax rates are 0, then a new administration would be able to set them as high as they want without consideration of trying to increase them by 2 percent or whatever they do now.

True but you can run Linux on your own machine but it doesn’t stop anyone from paying AWS or Microsoft to handle it for them.

[logi@lemmy.world]

for the foreseeable future.

Or 4 years, whichever comes first.

How the hell we’ll be able to tell

Did you see the vid where he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS?!

[folknforage@lemm.ee]

That’s because syphilis hasn’t mushed your brain

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

Trump is basically a sad fat kid in a classroom that just cries and screams when shit doesn't go his way and then ruins everything for everyone else.

[folknforage@lemm.ee]

100%

It’s as crazy as foreigners holding Chinese stocks

[presidentcamacho@lemm.ee]

Yes but people will pay redhat Linux to use a distro with support. Also almost the entire US internet server infrastructure runs on Linux.

So yeah a company can provide an open source product with commercial support

[logi@lemmy.world]

Give it 6 months and Amazon will be running this model for you "serverless" with a code name making it seem like their own product.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

Issue with that, they would love to have "chipless" cars they can repair with a screwdriver and a wrench.

[poplargrove@lemmy.world]

That was interesting but it didnt talk about the export ban. It was more like an overview of the Taiwanese economy and how the chip industry relates to it.

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

He's probably has had dementia for a while, that's where his lean and dumptruck ass come from.

[deepus@lemm.ee]

Has it ever been?

[mohammed_alibi@lemmy.world]

The US definitely doesn't give a shit about all those countries.

But my take is the US is doing it so that it can continue its global dominance. Russia or China will happily take its place if the US relents. Are you willing to take a backseat to China or Russia? Doubtful.
