  I'm convinced you're a bot. That is not in fact how tariffs work since the chips are not made in the US.

  Looking into it, the US implementation goes down into the components, so yes. Except, I believe it'd be $50 chip @ 100%, other components at whatever tariff rates they may have, and then the 15% per-country/region tariff applies to all of it on top. So if the other components have no tariffs, it'd be $172.50. I'm now wondering how expensive everything would end up if you have tariffs on materials as well.

  Pretty sure that's their point. Say a product costs $100 dollars with no tariffs. If you import the product from the EU with a 15% tariff, it's now $115 with tariffs (assuming no tariffs importing the chips into the EU). If you manufacture the product in the US, you need to pay 100% tariffs for all the chips. Obviously thr impact depends on how much the chips cost relative to the entire product, but if the chips are half the cost ($50), then with a 100% tariff you're now paying $150 for the product manufactured in the US.

  I've never used them, but if you want streaming, you can use Moonlight/Sunshine. It'd be very cool if a project integrated everything together, so you could choose whether to download the games or stream them from the server.

  Shenzhen is huge and has an absurd amount of tech companies, so this doesn't really surprise me.
