If this was done right, we'd have planned for the tariffs we wanted to enact first. That allows businesses / industries to make necessary adjustments ahead of time. It takes years to setup new factories and make changes in a large supply chain. That is why Fortune 500 CEOs are freaking out, and...

Not arguing with that, there is a name to pay for on top of the quality with them. You can still however apply the used/floor model rule to if that's your preference. Personally, I landed on another brand and got it for $500 used as opposed to the $1500+ MSRP. Not going to complain there, and...

So enlighten him. Gaming chairs are a waste of money. You are literally paying for hype and design, that's it. The one exception being Logitech teaming with Herman Miller, and the price tag for that is quite high.

That's fair, I overreached with my own thought process in hindsight. I think we could agree he likely wouldn't stop there if given the chance though. Like you said, B-school D-bag thinking he's going to find an easy way to jack up margins.

So employees should provide data on how he can eliminate their current jobs? Lol, good luck with that. AI is a tool, not a crutch, and certainly not a replacement for human critical thinking or originality.

Don't buy a gaming chair, buy an office chair w good ergonomics. They are designed for prolonged use, and rated for higher load capacities (more durable over time). It's the difference between a chair lasting you a few years and a few decades. You do not have to pay exorbitant rates for...

I'm only seeing this with 9070s and 5070s on Amazon, nothing with XTs or Tis thus far. If I could get a 9070 XT or 5070 Ti at/near MSRP I would buy it, but that sadly has not been the case.

Go for the 5700X3D as you were inclined; this is essentially the best AM4 CPU for gaming you can buy now. It will yield better 1% lows than any other non X3D (5800X3D aside) and is readily available. For cooling you have plenty of options, something like a Thermalright PA-120 is more than...

The flood-gates for outsourcing were opened in the 80s with deregulation. Much of Corporate America lobbied for years on it until they finally got their wish. As far as enduring the pain goes, we shouldn't have to on such a scale. Tariffs are meant to be used tactfully and enacted when you...

^ This. You cannot just flip a switch and say "we're doing things here now." Infrastructure and logistics are important, but get omitted when you shoot first and ask questions later...

WSJ called part of this the dumbest trade war in history, and that was before the on/off insanity + escalation. Rupert Murdoch (FOX) owns this outlet, so if that doesn't say all that is needed, I don't know what does. Also in the tech-sphere context, if we're about bringing jobs back, why try...

Not looking great so far. Newegg is wiped, Best Buy is wiped, B&H is wiped. Microcenter has some stock but with the exception of one Asrock model they are all well over MSRP. Guess I'll be doing the F5 shimmy for the foreseeable future. If I can somehow manage to get a Sapphire Pulse or...

Praise Jebuz, AMD listened! Looks like the 9070XT will be my next card (it has been a while). Shenanigans on the 9070 though, that's the same kind of move they pulled with the 7900XT.

Agreed, they have to rebuild their image and think longer term. They do not have Nvidia's brand power or track record, and need to change perception not just what they offer.

Leave it to AMD to botch the pricing again. Greedy morons. Just wait until they slash the prices due to poor sales, that's the move.
