How is anyone still putting their hopes in this guy...
Edit: holy shit, I missed the author of this article isn't just some random stooge, it is Cory Doctorow! The dude coining the term enshittification, and even this guy falls for thinking Trump will be on his side. Jeez...
Edit2: ok revising my post a bit. This is more about how what Trump is doing makes US tech less interesting for other countries and therefore tech could improve. Not that I believe some other actor outside US wouldn't do exactly the same with data as US companies, but this isn't what the title implies that Cory actually wants to have Trump do something to improve tech.
Can I ask what you mean with "highly restricted”? I don't know about China, but Russia doesn't have any harsh restrictions in place I have heard of. You got the problem that you cannot fly to many countries directly anymore and of course you need money to make it happen comfortably, but the money part is true for leaving any country. The bigger issue is as a Russian to get any sort of Visa for staying, which of course indirectly is caused by the Russian government itself. But I wouldn't see that as restriction imposed by the government.
I try to see it positively. Thanks to tracking with dates of responses and so on, I can ease my mind by simply telling myself if after a certain number of weeks I had no response then I probably got rejected. If I happen to get a very late response/interview still, jackpot, otherwise I am sure they rejected me already.
The only problem is the growing number of rows in that list over time...
They do seem to have quality products though. Got a Steamdeck skin from them and it fit really well.
Will however never order again because the import tax I paid on it was ridiculuous, not dbrands fault, I just hadn't ordered anything from US Canada for a while... and now won't anymore.
USA sollte da definitiv nicht die Referenz sein. Bin mir sicher du hast das nicht so gemeint, musste es aber ausschreiben.
