Looking into it, the US implementation goes down into the components, so yes. Except, I believe it'd be $50 chip @ 100%, other components at whatever tariff rates they may have, and then the 15% per-country/region tariff applies to all of it on top. So if the other components have no tariffs, it'd be $172.50. I'm now wondering how expensive everything would end up if you have tariffs on materials as well.

In any case though, it becomes ludicrously expensive no matter what because you're at most dodging the 15%.

EDIT: You can also dodge some of the tariffs if some percentage of the product is made in the US. I wonder if you'd be able to dodge the chip tariff if the materials for it were partially sourced from the US. If possible, that'd probably be cheaper for companies than actually trying to manufacture chips here.

EDIT 2: Actually your calculation may be right, I'm having a hard time finding how they're actually meant to be calculated. Admittedly it seems a bit weird to me that the rate would override the country-specific rate and thus be the same for chips from the EU and China, but I suppose none of this makes sense in the first place.

Pretty sure that's their point. Say a product costs $100 dollars with no tariffs. If you import the product from the EU with a 15% tariff, it's now $115 with tariffs (assuming no tariffs importing the chips into the EU). If you manufacture the product in the US, you need to pay 100% tariffs for all the chips. Obviously the impact depends on how much the chips cost relative to the entire product, but if the chips are half the cost ($50), then with a 100% tariff you're now paying $150 for the product manufactured in the US.

I've never used them, but if you want streaming, you can use Moonlight/Sunshine. It'd be very cool if a project integrated everything together, so you could choose whether to download the games or stream them from the server.

I'm planning to, I'm waiting for the kernel to finish building rn lol

EDIT: PR got merged BTW (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/431115).

You're supposed to be able to use lib.kernel.unset to unset them. In any case, that's just one problem. The main issue is the entire option is ignored because of a typo in nixpkgs.

I'm gonna be honest, I use NixOS, but the docs fucking suck, and a number of things are just broken in nixpkgs. For instance, I recently discovered the structuredExtraConfig option for patching the kernel straight up does not work. This means you cannot unset any kernel options, which means some kernel patches won't work unless you manually supply the entire kernel config.

EDIT: what's even more annoying about it not working is that it fails to apply silently. In other words, your kernel tries to compile and then an hour later it fails because your config changes weren't applied.

I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.

Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW

How can someone even think this makes sense lmao.

"You can probably name exceptions." Indeed, I can literally only name exceptions wtf

I still don't understand how some people find this controversial given how important mobile devices are to people now.
