That won’t work, because building a new factory takes 2-5 years and if the tariffs drop at any point then you’re stuck with a product way more expensive that nobody will buy.

No I mean it wouldn’t be possible to make them here, if you tried to build a series of factories they would not have enough workers. It’s like an order of magnitude scale difference, the largest industrial plant in the US is 30k workers and in China the big one for iPhones is 350k. And that is 350k people working super long hours. Even in China labor isn’t plentiful anymore, there is shortages of labor in the coastal areas. You try to hire a staffing firm and tell them you want 300k skilled workers in a city and they’ll just laugh at you.

It’s not about the price. There just isn’t enough capacity and workers to build that many.

No. Even a large tariff on a 3$ piece of plastic that retails for 20-30 won’t be worth adding anything.

You don’t have to pay for it, it will work as is.

This take is in bad faith, because most people that are going to buy a switch 2 already have a switch and you can play older games on it and it’s only 10$ to upgrade if there is a new edition for a game you have. And it’s true that Nintendo doesn’t really discount older games but you can buy them used for cheap.

Graphics cards only come with one HDMI port though. The LG OLED is popular for 4k screens because it ticks all the boxes and is much cheaper than equivalent gaming monitors, but that means it doesn’t support dp.

And it means that you have to upgrade the graphics card just for the cable even if it is still relatively new. The point is that we shouldn’t be held back by just a cable .

I think you could have a second connector in addition to a main USBC.

Honestly we need higher capacity for screen cables for PC. Both HDMI and display port are limiting performance because of their low, 40-80gbps, bandwidth. Their performance maxes out at 4k120hz with uncompressed HDR color. You can’t use 8k screens or multiple 4k screens without lowering quality.

It’s hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it’s entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?
