With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon RSS Link: | | | |   | | | Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Andy Morris Just been listening to the latest Podcast, and got to the bit about Duty Free and paying in. the US. The reason @Gareth Myles that there is a 6% charge is the conversion to GBP plus a charge to do so, you should always pay in the local currency.. And the way they do the duty free collection is the same as what happens across the globe not just the US (had it in Hong Kong) where you collect at the gate... None of this has anything to do with Tariffs. The...

Feedback, Fallout and Contributions

SomeGadgetGuy  on RAM Crisis

For the RAM and component news, the most frustrating aspect of it is the speculation. The manufacturing and pricing IMMEDIATELY flipped based on the announcements from companies like OpenAI that they WOULD scale up. A company super deep in the red, generating no significant profits, just SAYING they were GOING to buy up 40% of the RAM decimated the entire consumer market. There should be antitrust investigations. When. It comes to mobile devices, we are seeing the first symptoms of component price hikes. Phones in 2025 we’re largely similar to phones from 2024, often with a handful of downgrades to individual components to balance the costs of more expensive SOCs. This year, phones are even more similar to phones from 2025, and increasingly, we’re seeing even more price cuts to pieces, like totally flat screens, or reducing the number of rear cameras, while we’re still seeing price increases in a lot of regions. Im confident this trend will continue. As a fashion trend, companies will continue to push super thin phones as a way to sell an expensive device with fewer features.

Rob DeLorean-Chamb  on uTag App

I was listening to Ted on the podcast last week and heard him say he had some Samsung tags but because he hasn't got a Samsung phone he used the web interface but there is a 3rd party app that lets you natively control them as-if one’s non-Samsung was actually a Samsung! UTag is an open source app too.
