Frickin' Big Brother these days, you can never get away from him.
By the time I need to upgrade it'll probably be more cost effective for me to drive the few hours to Canada and buy PC hardware there. Wouldn't mind a trip to a more sane country honestly.
The atmosphere is mostly transparent; see the table near the bottom of this Wikipedia page for some numbers. At an angle of 45 degrees from vertical you're getting 91% of the energy, and at 60 degrees you're getting 81%. A bigger problem is seasonal variation: during the winter at high latitudes you get very little energy. My city, at around 47 degrees latitude, sees the Sun peak at less than 30 degrees with under 10 hours of daylight for a quarter of the year. A solar array isn't as useful if it produces almost no power for much of the year, especially when people need a lot to keep warm.
New tariffs could raise iPhone prices by about 40% in the U.S.
Apple's overpriced phones have quite a high profit margin; surely they could absorb most of the tariff costs while still making a profit? Or would that not be greedy enough for them?
The market will recover... eventually. Hope you weren't planning on retiring in the next decade.

I made a calculation a few weeks ago with the data available at the time, which put the odds at 1.94%. That same calculation now gives 3.7%, so I guess I did a pretty good job.
Fingers crossed it ends up impacting, that would be quite the sight to behold.
Was wondering why Anon was so unhappy about brownies at first lol.
