Trump tariffs to make prices great – a gain

Not quite sure how Americans paying more for goods can help a trade deficit. It's their own money going into their own tax revenue.

The only actual effect would be if they bought less because they couldn't afford it. If that what the MAGA wanted?

Samsung trumps USA's tariffs by making displays in Mexico, and elsewhere if needed

That would be cool, and a proper trade war. Then we'll see how that "trade imbalance" affects things...

UK's attempt to keep details of Apple 'backdoor' case secret… denied

Re: Where in Whitehall is the still small voice of reason?

Stop posting these ridiculous long encrypted posts. You only embarras yourself in the tinhat wearing kind of way. And its very annoying.

You didn't say anything. You posted a link.

Re: yeh right

Site.

Easy access to encrypted data is not a "careful balancing act". It's part of the surveillance state.

Paragon spyware deployed against journalists and activists, Citizen Lab claims

I suspect you don't understand how interconnected things are. Much like Trump.

There's no direct F-35 kill switch. It's just several ones working together.

After the next update, however, there might be a more convenient one.

If even the F-16 can be rendered almost useless from USA, then the F-35 sure as hell can too (completely useless, no less).

No, it doesn't. And, also, it's not 1968 any longer.

"Did you sleep through Ukraine kicking out its leadership who went into exile to Russia? "

OMG, how stupid are you?

Do you ever wonder why Putin's puppet went to Russia? Ukraine's people exercised its democratic right to have the will of the people decide. Comprende?

Re: Really?

Who gives a shit?

Ukraine can join NATO if it wants, and NATO wants. Now when USA seems to leave, UKRAIN clearly has a vacant spot it can fill.

Putin can eat shit.

Re: Really?

Just go away. There's no explaining anything to you. You just can't think.

Microsoft will kill Remote Desktop soon, insists you'll love replacement

Re: Mac users already living the nightmare

Betas are behind? So what do they release then?

"Customers using the Remote Desktop app must migrate by May 27. After that date, "connections to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Microsoft Dev Box via the Remote Desktop app from the Microsoft Store will be blocked.""

MS always thinking of their customers...

Hey, remember iPads? Those fondleslabs? Apple still does

I have many iPads, but the new ones are far too expensive now.

All except one are second hand ones (and beware various issues on the second hand ones).

The new one was a birthday gift, but not a Pro or Air model, as I'm not insane.

Oh, and you can pick up old iPad Mini dirt cheap, and they seem to last better than some new models (but they are slower, of course).

I have a few dedicated ones for various things.

"causing extreme vibration or oscillation breaking stuff in the back, something that can only be really tested by flying at 15000 km/h in near vacuum"

You don't need to test this. If it happens, it breaks.
