People being incentivised to keep these relationships secret just gives even more leverage to the CCP if they successfully use this as an espionage tactic. I assume that’s what this is meant to guard against but surely it would have the opposite effect wouldn’t it?

It works pretty well on the Steam deck. I’m not sure how powerful the switch 2 is relative to that though.

All the goods that Trump excempts from tarrifs is tipping his hand. If I were one of these countries like Taiwan where semiconductors are exempted, I would apply an export duty equal to the tarrif on other goods. If you want to tarrif me fine but you’re going to have to commit.

Do they show anywhere how they arrived at those numbers for tarrifs to the USA? It says it includes currency manipulation but I have no idea what that is or how it’s calculated.

EDIT: Just saw in another thread it’s literally just trade deficit divided by exports from that country…holy shit.

Oh wow, that cartridge thing is actually just the worst of both worlds. I’m similar to you, my last console was a Mega Drive but I did get a Switch for my wife and played a couple of games on it which was fun. Not really keen on giving Nintendo more money though.

That’s the closest I could find in the article as to a reason. It’d be nice to know if it was just a bad year or if this is going to be a permanent challenge going forward due to climate change or some other factors.
