Why not add the tariff to the price? If someone in the US still wants it, they can buy it and pay the tariff.

That is clever!

Or don’t use someone’s encryption if you don’t have the private encryption key. Encrypt it yourself. But still then, it is only a matter of time when the encryption of your data is cracked. Could take years but if it is data someone really wants, one day it can be decrypten.

Maybe but it also means that if a company needs a datacenter with 1000 gpu’s to do it’s AI tasks demand, it will now buy 500.

Next year it might need more but then AMD could have better gpu’s.

I feel the same but if I look back, there are just as much problems as now. I think that is because the ‘now’ is always more intense than the past events. Just think about it, do you remember every sad day or fight that you had in the past? Hopefully not but you do remember it if it was in the last 7 days.

Some problems from the past are: The crime peak of the 90s. New York City had 2245 murders in 1990. Since 2012 it has not been over 500 per year.

Or take Gaza and Isreal. That region has been a war zone since forever but peaked in 2023,2024.

Or Ukraine. That has only been independent since 1991. Tension in eastern Europe is not new. What is new is that it has been stable for the last 30 years.

Fascism, wars, corruption, etc will come and go and will continue to do so.

Not what your asking but, I have a backup hard disk at my workplace. I have the same size disk at home and when I need to update something on my backup, I copy it to the at home disk. I bring that to work and bring back the other disk home. This way, there is always a backup away from home. All encrypted so nobody can steal the data.

Other options can be a friend or family member.

And for other stuff I also have it on Google Drive.

I like nextdns.io

Something like torrents. Split the whole thing in small 5gb torrents.

What is reddit? Never heard of it.

Maybe woodworking? It can get dusty and you need some room but you can also make smaller things that don’t need big power tools or a lot of room. Like miniature things.

Or computer programming. Create an app. Or do something fun like follow one of the coding challenges from the YouTube channel The Coding Train

It’s probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

I’m using a simple cheap usb switcher (Aten 2 x 4 USB 2.0 Switch). I have connected a mouse, keyboard, card reader. One machine is connect to the monitor via hdmi and the other via display port. I simply switch video via the buttons on the monitor. The third machine is a laptop that is not connected to the monitor.

A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.
