  • a lot of savings

    Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

    So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

    Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

    I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

    My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.



  • Welcome fellow cheese lover. If you’re from where I guess you’re from, we have a few communities for our big plus country.

    Most of normal French speaking in on the jlailu instance, example the not very active !suisse@jlai.lu.

    I think there are some English Switzerland communities and I don’t know about German, they are probably linked with the main German instance (like we are on jlailu with the rest of francophonie).

    And as IRL, Italian speaking part does not exist 🤷🏻‍♂️

    But you’ll find plenty of cool communities not related to a country or language. My favourite type are the ones where you can speak about whatever you want.

    Also as a nice to know, you can blacklist keywords on several apps (and communities, peoples or instances), that way you can avoid the US politics spam around news communities.

    It takes a little while to craft your perfect lemmy experience, but once done it’s a cool place!








  • You can open or replace this fake ceiling square by square as behind it you may find some electrical stuff that sometimes needs to be repaired. It’s also probably cheaper.

    It’s kind of the same as the floor in data centers. If you’ve been in one, the floor is a fake floor made of square sort of plastic tiles. Below that you have the cold air that goes into the servers, AC and DC power, fire and water detectors, cables road etc. You need an easy access to those fake floors or ceiling for maintenance.




  • I really like the “thermal runaway thing” expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.

    EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.

    In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.

    We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.





  • From life of experience, it’s just as you said: without lying.

    You said it here, ‘I have an abusive family, I’m glad I managed to turn out ok but I don’t want them to involve you in their bullshit.’

    And if you don’t want to talk about it just say it as well and leave the door open: ‘I don’t want to talk about it and ruin the day but if you want one day I’ll tell you.’

    I’ve been married for almost 20 years without having met her parents, they didn’t “approve” our wedding and we just didn’t care about it. As long as you are two sane and respectful adults there’s no problems.
