Is it too distasteful to make this into a meme? I can't take this seriously at all.

I wonder how it feels when VTEC kicks in on a literal rocket

Trump team is already walking it back after they started taking preorders and a journalist found the model. They're now claiming they meant to say it could eventually be made in America. It's a $170 Chinese phone they're marking up to $500

I believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it's up to trump's FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.

Specifically:

it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.

“a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States.”

Alright, so clearly this is a bald-face lie? How the hell can they claim this? What kind of made in america SOC are they using?

Woah something I can agree with him about. Maybe we can find common ground here.

 
 

This image features popular cartoon and video game characters, sitting around a table with a large pile of cash and what appears to be drug-related items. The characters are depicted in a way that contrasts with their usual family-friendly personas, giving the scene a dark or satirical twist.

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.
