You guys should just do that anyways tbh

You’ll note that “liquor” was specified, not “liquor cabinet”

We’re dropping DEI for DUI, haven’t you heard?

Yeah, iirc you get a charisma buff if you pick it as your base lang

There are languages other than English that exist in the world, you know, and they have acronyms too.

Idk - it does sound fancier than English though, so maybe that’s why?

I get that - again, not trying to shill for Apple here. My point is that it sets an incredibly dangerous and overt precedent if it ends up panning out like that.

It doesn’t, nor should it prevent them, if I’m being blunt. A 100%+ tariff on the country where they produce their shit is tantamount to telling them as a company that they’re simply not allowed to make any profit anymore whatsoever, within the United States. And it would basically force them to operate as a de facto charity if they didn’t raise their prices in the US as a result. Which - for those in the back - is precisely the fucking point everyone is making about tarrifs and how stupid they are. This is all just a money grab by orangeboi.

This isn’t me being an Apple Stan; this is just simple economics. It’s applicable to ANY company that’s producing stuff in China.

Also, if orangeboi tries to do some sort of executive order of “Tim Apple isn’t allowed to raise his prices in the US”, that’s a nakedly apparent shakedown.

So they speak italian in Italy, not English.

Sounds an awful lot like a shakedown

No they won’t - not for the inventory that’s already in-country. Apple sells things as DDP - Delivered Duty Paid. Look up what that means. It’s pretty clear.

Yeah, can’t say that I disagree

…that nobody will buy because of retaliatory tariffs

Hey, remember when pre-musk twitter had to turn off their extremism automod for republican politicians because they were constantly spewing the same patterns of extremist content that actual ISIS-supporting accounts were?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

As a data engineer:

I assume they’re devoting the vast majority of their capacity to military production for now, but I would enthusiastically buy a Ukrainian drone over a Chinese one once the war is heading towards a positive resolution, and consumer production becomes more of a thing.

Their site, for those interested. They’ve got a ~350ish USD model with a 2kg capacity, 25km range, and 3km max altitude. That seems… really good for the price.

Everyone stop doing your jobs
