Congratulations on what China did.

I hope they punish the Neanderthal with red hat and the Orange for the dumb things they do to their people and the world.

He didn't think these tariffs through.

These backtracks is exactly why he will be looked at as joke by the rest of the world.

Trump, and the rest of his party, isn't thinking about gaming at all.

The GPU's being exempt will help businesses, AI, Servers, Super Computers etc. They're not being removed from tariffs so people can buy a 5090 to play GTA VI.

The HTS code for Video Game Consoles is not in the list of exemptions.

They removed it because Lord Gaben personally entered Trump's cabinet and showed him Half Life 3 demo.

 

[proandrad]

Looked up the code for video game hardware, unfortunately it is not listed in the OP.

The HTS code for Video Game consoles is 9504.50.

It looks like Video Game Consoles won't be exempt from the tariffs.

Reason 1,402 why pc is better than consoles.

 

[Kotaro]

BBC says computers so consoles not included then?

BBC is wrong

exact quote from Bloomberg

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EXEMPTED SMARTPHONES, COMPUTERS AND OTHER ELECTRONICS FROM RECIPROCAL TARIFFS

 

[DaleinCalgary]

So the one ship a week coming from China will only hold computer parts.

 

[Kilau]

 

[Guilty_AI]

All said and done tho, i wouldn't rejoice just yet. China may try to limit export of these products in an attempt to get him to remove more tariffs ...either that or the CCP will just use this to spin up some narrative inside the country since they're mostly worried about their image.

 

[PeteBull]

Switch 2 is saved

Thank You Jesus

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Lumber, aluminum and steel is next.

 

[DR3AM]

Switch 2 $300 let's gooooo

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Like I said before the tariffs are just a bluff to renegotiate and it worked for the majority. What we had created before was unsustainable .

What renegotiation? I'm genuinely curious here, but I really don't know who renegotiated what? And what was unsustainable in what way?

 

[The artful mincer]

He didn't think.

Fixed

 

[Elios83]

Complete buffoonery, this circus should end as soon as possible.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I am sure Tim Cook had alot to do with this. Guessing anyhow

You mean Tim Apple

 

[Darsxx82]

He wanted to demonstrate the strength of the US in the world and in global trade in general... What he's achieving is demonstrating the growing weakness of the US in global trade.

Well really It's a global embarrassment that increasingly looks like a masterstroke for a few to profit.

 

[Astray]

Concession after Concession lmao.

 

[Chukhopops]

You can tell someone is really shitting his diapers about the treasury bond situation.

Still happy for burger citizens who won't be paying the bill of the trade war.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

I should have a good stock day monday.

 

[StereoVsn]

I should have a good stock day monday.

Yeah, hopefully we can get another 3-5% market gain. As soon as that's done I am converting the rest of my stock to money market funds and treasuries.

My heart can't take Orange Man's shenanigans.

Could be a good choice. My financial guy just said ride it out so if those stocks effected go up 15% monday I should be getting back to normal.

We all should have noted Warren Buffets choice of selling everything

 

[BennyBlanco]

So you're saying there won't be additional markups on the $2,400 MSRP GPUs?

 

[StereoVsn]

You mean Tim Apple

Tim Apple and Tim Epic are the only acceptable names!

 

[StereoVsn]

Yep, Buffet as usual knows his shit. I got about half my market position out but figured bond / stock split made sense. The Donald defeated that approach, lol.

I don't think we are likely to see more than 5% bump if that and it may drop during the rest of the week. Administration has no idea what they are doing at all.

 

[MagnesD3]

Just get tha Switch 2 in ma bellay already.

 

[drotahorror]

As if computer part prices especially GPU aren't already overpriced enough now that piece of shit is going to raise it even more. Good thing I'm not too crazy into crazy these days and fine with sticking to older games, could still have tons of fun with modded Bethesda Fallout and Elder Scrolls for years easily. Now I just hope my pc doesn't fail/break.

Did you not even read the title of this thread before clicking it? GPU's should come down, probably won't but still.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Fantastic news. Apple factories are reattaching the suicide nets on the windows as we speak.

We shall see, I think this is finally an admission that they can't have large tariffs on certain items.

 

[DeVeAn]

The orange and his friend the Neanderthal are definitely the laughingstock of their country and the world.

Got a bit of the TDS it seems. Take two Advil you'll be okay.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Did you not even read the title of this thread before clicking it? GPU's should come down, probably won't but still.

If it's too good to be true than it's probably not. Until I actually click on Amazon and see GPU prices back to normal which is still overpriced than it ain't happening.

And I checked Amazon and the RTX 4060 TI 16gb is still 600 to 700 dollars when a year ago it was around 430 dollars and 430 dollars for a RTX 4060 ti 16gb still ain't a good deal in the first place anyway since that card is nearly 2 years old and is on the lower end.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Well really It's a global embarrassment that increasingly looks like a masterstroke for a few to profit.

It certainly is eye-opening. Is the managed decline of the west inevitable if investors can force the hand of any leader attempting to course correct it?

We saw something similar here with Liz Truss.

 

[Zephyranthes]

The HTS code for video game consoles/machines is 9504.50, which I don't see included in the exempted list. Still possible that the Switch 2 could be reclassified to take advantage of the exemption, or that the list of exempted codes will be expanded later, but I'd say it's unclear at the moment.

 

[nowhat]

Got a bit of the TDS it seems. Take two Advil you'll be okay.

Unfortunately my stocks can't take as much drugs as I can.

 

[San Dan Glokta]

Let him cook.

Tim cook?

 

[Bernoulli]

not consoles

 

[BennyBlanco]

not consoles

It is kind of weird. But Apple and Nvidia are huge American companies who probably spend a ton of money lobbying. Sony and Nintendo are foreign companies and small potatoes compared to Apple and Nvidia.

I'm on vacation.

I'm going to rest.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Don't declare victory just yet... The orange schizophrenic says one thing one day... And the next day he says something else.

Where did he hurt you?

 

[Crayon]

But at least we can say retard again.

 

[Days like these...]

What about Chinese brand phones because Ive been importing for years I can get smartphone that's better than anything Samsung or Apple puts out for $700

 

[Generic]

What renegotiation? I'm genuinely curious here, but I really don't know who renegotiated what? And what was unsustainable in what way?

50+ countries will negotiate with USA about tariffs. China can hit it back because they have power.

 

[StereoVsn]

Where did he hurt you?

My wallet, strength of US currency, position of US in a global market, status of US currency as default payment, US investment, trust amongst allies, and more.

Anything to do with economy, taxes and trade has been a ginormous shit show.

 

[Loomy]

Not lose the AI race

Is it really a race if the availability of literally every component you need is controlled by the country you're racing against?

 

[Clear]

Congratulations on what China did.

I hope they punish the Neanderthal with red hat and the Orange for the dumb things they do to their people and the world.

Yeah, cheer on the CCP, they've never done anything wrong! Ever!

The way people's dislike for Trump and the threat of their toys becoming more expensive is being used as justification to stan for a totalitarian regime is just... wow.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

What's the point of not including consoles? This entire thing is so random and dumb.

 

[64gigabyteram]

So you're saying there won't be additional markups on the $2,400 MSRP GPUs?

*2400 over msrp GPUs

 

[Guilty_AI]

Yeah, cheer on the CCP, they've never done anything wrong! Ever!

The way people's dislike for Trump and the threat of their toys becoming more expensive is being used as justification to stan for a totalitarian regime is just... wow.

yeah, the CCP is constantly making military threats against the land of Heimdall_Xtreme 's main waifu. Guess his love isn't that deep.

 

[Ecotic]

I wouldn't be surprised if China vetoes this with U.S.-specific export taxes. The move could be seen as an attempt by the U.S. to make their side of the trade war less painful than China's.

 

[Skifi28]

Looking forward to tomorrow's mood swing.
