I dunno anyway. Buying a roll of a thousand of some component here and there wouldn't appear on anybody's radar. Maybe the motors would be a problem, but then, Mexico has enough good enough motor factories.

There were several announcements, a lot of discussion, and a long process before they started selling it. It was also a temporary action, with a well known end-date (that TBH, I never looked at). It had a known and constant small pressure over investments, it wasn't something that destabilized a market.

That's just irrelevant, because people react to what those things are today, not what they can hypothetically be in the future.

But no, datacenter owners are using their connections to remove any regulation instead.

Do you get overwhelmed by emails tracking items you brought? You expect stores not to communicate with you about active contracts you've already paid for and have actions pending from their part? Why exactly do you think that's a problem?

Larger than the difference between the .Net Framework (that is a framework) and .Net Core (that is a framework)?

Microsoft has been replacing most of their brands by Copilot. There's no searching for it in a product, the product is named "Copilot".

They are in a very unfortunate position.

But amplifying the orders just makes the problem worse.
