  • Orico MiniTower 2 Bay RAID review: Inexpensive, speed-limited, and fun storage enclosure

    Not sure how 10GBps is in any way a limit when it's got spinning rust boxes in it.
    As the text addresses, the SSD that by itself is twice the speed of the interface, the two hard drives, the 10 gigabit USB-A port, and all the rest of the ports are fed by a single 10 gigabit USB-C connection. That's why.

    Normally, it is not a bad sign that we have used to have our All hands meetings all the time as it is just a part of our organizational events. 
    But this All Hands meeting was organized in a short time frame, which is not a good sign. 


    It was scheduled two weeks ago, apparently.

    Everybody take a deep breath and re-read the commenting guidelines.

    As a reminder, this suit started under the previous administration.
    As one of the longest tenured members on the site, I fully agree. The level of discussion was really starting to go off the rails. This doesn’t really have anything to do with the orange man, Whether you think “orange man bad” or “orange man good.”  If anything, I think him being an office increases the chance that this goes away at some point.  Watch Apple, pledge to move more production to the United States or whatever and it will—in unrelated news—-be dropped 😆

    P.S.  How long?  Pre-blackout.  I originally registered in January or February 2000.  
    Initial conversation began in mid-2019. The suit was filed in 2024.

  • No India tariff deal means Apple will face iPhone import fees eight times higher than befo...

    Mike WuertheleMike Wuerthele
    8x? Last I checked 25% from 10% is 2.5X. And we don't know the minutiae. So if that sticks, I doubt it's going to be some crazy trouble for apple. The president is pretty good at this stuff. I'll wait for more concrete news to break regarding the details on this before reacting. but from what I have seen so far, including with the UK. Trump is doing great things with these trade deals. We wanted fair balance. And so far, we are getting it and then some. Looking forward to see how India responds. 
    As addressed in the article, on April 1, Apple was paying 3%. 8 x 3 = 24.

    From the article: "This will be a considerable increase on the current 10% import tariff applied against the country as of the latest exceptions pending a trade deal. That 10% tariff is also high compared to the 3% tariff Apple paid on iPhone imports from India to the U.S. before President Donald Trump began making tariff changes."

    As far as "concrete news" goes, the source is Trump and Bessent. They both said this.
