friends don't let friends drink charcoal filtered whiskey. NCF all the way!

I will see if I have access to any Supermicro boards on Z390 or Z490- If I do I would like to test this. I'm not sure how quickly I would be able to get this completed, but if I can make this happen I will be sure to share my findings with you.

Which chipset are you looking to use?

Even if he didn't get it directly from someone at the rally; it seems entirely plausible that whoever he got it from got it from someone at the rally. Wouldn't it be cool if contact tracing was a thing we did here? :oops:

Thanks! I somehow missed that the image was a video and only clicked on and read the article that was attached. o_O

Am I missing something? How does Rebecca Watson fit into this?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like one of you guys is talking about Bolton and the other is talking about Taylor.

The market has been mostly flat for a year now, even after hundreds of billions in stock buy backs propping up prices. Does this look like success to you?

The tariffs are creating uncertainty and that is causing capital investment to be far more limited than it would be otherwise. This is yet another example of why this strategy will continue to accelerate the trade deficit rather than reduce it.

The link you provided only shows dates ranges that were post-tariffs so its not really possible for the data to show the majority of the impact from tariffs. Prices also tend to go down (and sometimes up) on components over time. The chart doesn't show what the price changes would have been...

Well keep in mind, I brought all of this up because you implied you hadn't seen prices increase on things that you purchase. You are correct in that there will be winners and losers but the data so far seems to suggest that american companies are the ones being hurt the most by the tariffs...

fyi- caselabs was a chassis manufacturer that was around for nearly 50 years. Their CEO cited the tariffs as the specific reason why they were forced to close their doors. When I checked on components from some of the other vendors I buy parts from, I found that the prices were exactly 25%...

I find it painfully ironic that you would ask this question on a forum for computer hardware enthusiasts. Many component vendors prices are currently up 25% due to tariffs and some of the smaller companies like Caselabs have been put out of business as a result of these tariffs.

which model is that projector that you're using? :oops:
