I doubt that, to be honest. The supplies to make the items will also go up in price, and the US simply doesn't have the industrial power and cheap labor that other countries have to make them. GOP voters think that somehow it'll make all things cheaper (which actually would be a bad thing, deflation isn't a good sign for the economy), but the price of everything is about to skyrocket.

That's not to mention that the few suppliers that are 100% US based would just crank up their prices anyway, because they can.

Personally, and not having much experience in economics, I think prices will skyrocket, people will stop buying things, and then that will cause huge amounts of deflation, bringing the US right into a deep recession. I mean, my partner and friends have already stopped spending as much, and that was before today. It's only going to get worse.

It's definitely not legal, especially if your school is funded by the public. That "free internet and power" is paid by someone, and if it's the public, it's kind of a dick move.

They can't see what's in your ssh or VPN tunnels necessarily, but they can usually see where the packets are originating from and going to. So if you're say, accessing it from home directly to the server via VPN or SSH, if you're not doing so using a full VPN service like Mull, they'll be able to see the origin IP of your SSH or VPN handshakes, and thus your home IP.

Surely US investors won't harvest data and/or enshittify the product!

Should have just fired the CEO instead, would've saved millions and the company in one go.

Just last week, they were posting job listings for DevOps engineers. Glad the CEO's bullshit stopped me from even considering it.

Steamdeck is better in every way anyway.

Most of all, the US is fucked.

Sure, but I didn't mean to say that FOSS couldn't be insecure. Software itself can obviously be insecure, like we saw with xz. At least with FOSS though, it's more difficult for it to be hidden.

Apologies, I deleted my comment instead of editing it, but I meant to add that even with the shady workaround, if you have sandboxing it likely greatly reduces this risk.

Be very wary of what apps you install, and in fact, try to only use FOSS.

Yes, it would. Those basically create sandboxes.

So the first line says that it's for older versions of android before 2022. But the next paragraph says:

For extremely specific use cases such as file managers, browsers or antivirus apps, Google grants an exception by allowing QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, which provides full visibility into installed apps.

So this may still be possible, however sandboxing, especially GrapheneOS' implementation likely mostly, if not entirely reduce this risk.

Thanks. I actually have advance bait stations, however it should be noted that this won't really work for active infestations because they already have food from your home.
