Or, "Poorly written article quotes Atlantic article but adds almost nothing"

I totally agree. If anyone has a way of filtering this stuff out, please share.

As I understand it, the importer has to fill out a form for a fee adjustments. But assuming they do that, I think yes.

I heard a port facilitator guy talking about the fee adjustment thing when the tariffs were starting. Good guess on his part.

To some extent that's true, but anyone who builds network software of any kind without timeouts defined is not very good at their job. If this traps anything, it wasn't good to begin with, AI aside.

My son's first computer was Linux. ;) He was still toddling but wanted to hit my computer, so I set up an old one for him.

I was 14 in 1991 I should add. I switched from minix not long after I could get Linux to boot. I think that was actually 1992. Both the computer and Linux weren't very good back then ..

I'm not saying that they won't do this, but so far their actual actions have ended up pretty decent. I've had 3 Synology devices over the last 12(?) years, and while they are not perfect, they have been very good at delivering what they promised over the long haul. All of them still work fine. Even the old guy delivers.

Redhat Inc is in the US, but Redhat Ltd is Europe (and more I think). I don't know what would happen if the parts of the company had to take different paths for a while. I would assume all the non-US stuff would want to keep making money while the US slogs through crazy...

You may need to try a few to make the most of your hardware config. Make a few bootable USB drives, and spend an evening trying your options I'd say at least pop!os, manjaro and nobara to cover the main distro bases. But everything is pretty good these days and everything has corner cases that cause trouble.

They seem to be getting a lot of hate for this, but Plex is not FOSS... They have the roots but they currently have like 100 paid employees and are trying to make a business out of it. They have to do something to make money to pay people every month. My $75 10 years ago isn't going to do much for that... The fact that they've made it this far without folding is impressive.
