All of Donald Trump's tariff threats
"Trump's threats have changed over time, ranging from small levies to ones exceeding 200%, leaving other nations and businesses unclear of what is to come next. Here is a roundup of Trump's trade-related threats."
Tariffs on Canada and Mexico could raise prices:
Car prices by around $3,000.
Gasoline prices by 30 cents to 70 cents a gallon.
"In 2023, the U.S. bought more than $45 billion in agricultural products from Mexico –including 63% of imported vegetables and 47% of fruits and nuts. Farm imports from Canada came to $40 billion.
U.S. farmers are nervous, too, that Canada and Mexico will retaliate by slapping tariffs on American products such as soybeans and corn. "

President Donald Trump said this week that tariffs on U.S. neighbors Canada and Mexico will arrive Saturday. The two nations are not only close geographically, but economically as well.PAUL WISEMAN (AP News)
Canada, please elect this woman.
The surgical precision.
Brilliant.
She says to retaliate to any US tariffs by hitting Elon Musk.
“Canada must threaten to impose a 100 per cent tariff on all Tesla vehicles and a 100 per cent tariff on US wine, beer and spirits if unfair tariffs are imposed on Canadians,” Freeland said on Friday."

The recent work I've been doing has required a lot of sharing files between testing devices (and my Mac). AirDrop should be the ideal tool for this but I've recently found it to be unreliable.
Instead I've been using LocalSend which is an open-source AirDrop alternative and it's been working fantastically. The only real downside is that you have to open the app on both sides for the share to complete, but it has been 100% reliable so that’s a tradeoff I'll happily make.
LocalSend is a free, open-source, cross-platform file sharing tool that allows you to share files to nearby devices.localsend.org
