So basically the US says:If you want to manufacture or repair laptops within the US with parts that are imported you pay 145% tariffs but if you buy a fully assembled laptop it will add 0% tariffs1. They fuckup right to repair even more2. They make sure no one is gonna manufacture this way within the country3. WTF

@stux SMH, I live in a land run by an oligarchy of grifters, apparently supported by many of my neighbors. Is there no "red line" for them. . . .

@stux AFAIK NoTruthSocial is literally using code of Mastodon, which is mostly made in Germany.

@stux this will most undoubtedly kill my chances of maintaining hardware.The people that cannot repair their shit, will try to replace it, and if they cannot replace it, they will try to steal it. I'm pretty sure theft at Best Buys will sky-fucking-rocket. (And if my thinkpad breaks down and I cannot fix it, chances are that I'll be among that population)

@stux isn't TrumpSocial based on Mastodon? Guess that would be "imported" then

@stux needless to say this is not how it's going to be as soon as they throw some yarrow roots, or consult a LLM, and come up with some new tariff numbers for electronics.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/14/trump-warns-exemptions-on-smartphones-electronics-will-be-short-lived-promises-future-tariffs-president-chinaBut yes, none of it makes any sense.

@stux Don't get the idea that "made in America" means less costly.Oh no, the product made in America without imported parts will raise the price to match the product laced with tariffs.Remember that the goal isn't to provide a service or product, it's to turn a profit at the lowest cost. If the demand is for lowest priced goods/services then quality isn't considered when producing/offering those goods/services."...what the market will bear..."https://hbr.org/2012/09/how-to-find-out-what-customers-will-pay

@stux Trivial, making cheaply US-made laptops.Import laptops as a whole.Disassemble them for the parts.Reassemble them from the cheap parts (because they were imported not as parts but as sub-assemblies of a laptop).Laptop made (assembled to be truthful) in the USA.Idiot #Trump happy, you get innovation price, and if you do it right potentially some nice subsidies from the the #Trumpregime for proving that making good cheap #USmade laptops is possible. 1/2

Really, speak with some Eastern Europeans that lived through the "funny" times post-communism, pre-EU.The Eastern Europeans were too poor for new Western cars, so they imported all kind of "used cars".And the governments tried to keep the worst out of the countries via tariffs. Sold one of our cars to some of these guys, and they literally de-assembled it on the trailer, explaining that currently the tariffs for "car parts" are so much lower than for "used cars". 2/2

@stux They don't want us to repair, they want us to buy. If we can't buy, the poor getting cut off from communicating and processing is a good thing for the #MeanRegime.#TrumpEconomy.

@stux A reminder, it is not the USA nor Americans who are implementing these horrible policies. Republicans are to blame and until we manage to make that crystal clear we may never be able to dislodge them from power.

@stux Under the DMCA, the right to repair does not exist in the US for any device that can be considered a technological or computing device.And under the DMCA the person who determines what is considered a technological or computing device is the Librarian Of Congress.

@stux why don't smart people seem to get this? The WTF is that the goal of this isn't a strong or coherent American trade policy, or supporting American manufacture. The point is chaos and the destruction of the American economy.If you think about it in that light, you will realize that all of this makes sense.
