Welcome to the cyberpunk future we all ~~dreaded~~ dreamed of!

I thought I'd be okay without a headphone jack but I'm now learning that USB-C to headphone adapters will enter a power save mode after a few seconds of silence, and quiet moments in shows or music can cause that, then it takes a split second to power back up, so the end result is choppy sound if it isn't constant. Maybe it's better with a better adapter, but also how the heck do you search for such things on Amazon and the like? It's not exactly a specification they list...

Obviously you take a page out of gaming laptops books and just plug in more USB C cables for more power! You now need 4 USB C cables to power that toaster. And your stove? 12 of them should do!

Sounds like you're describing surgical failure in Rimworld "alright just removing the infect finger.. And...ah shit I accidentally stabbed him in the face 25 times and killed him"

Realistically the actual levying of import taxes is far enough removed from the policymakers at the top that they'll just follow the laws and court rulings as written until they receive orders otherwise. So unless someone in the Trump administration personally gets involved in the day to day, they'll stick to whatever the written policies are

Writing even more sternly worded letters?

Some naunce that is lost is most of the celebration of the settled tarrif rate for one of the US's top trading partners is for the decreased uncertainty that brings. If you're managing a business's supply chain you don't want pure question marks related to the import tax rate in any part of that supply chain, especially when the possible values are anywhere between 0% and 200% for the import tax.

Edit: how'd I manage to typo "import" twice in two completely different ways?!

I think it's more a question of individual values in where to spend money. From my memory as a kid in the 90s I did not see very many TVs bigger than 30" in family's homes. I did see a couple of projection screens that were comparatively massive but those of course had their own problems

Hey we did the same thing with AT&T! Split them into a bunch of smaller companies which then merged back together after a few years...shit...

meaning that approximately half the polonium in the ring would have been gone within about four and a half months

So basically the whole effect that sells the thing is gone within a year. Talk about planned obsolence
