Exports of rare earths now require special licenses, but Beijing has yet to fully establish a system for issuing them, the New York Times reported.

    Most retailers have announced price hikes across the globe. I had hoped EU would actually get cheaper electronics and whatnot because of dumping. Oh well. Guess this 7 year old pc is going to have to sing it out for a few years longer at this rate.

      I’m just glad that as I get older I’m more content with simple things. I’d be ok giving up most tech things and I say that while working in IT myself.

        Amen. I also work in IT and I find the longer I do, the more I loathe new tech stacks and developments. I used to be passionate about new tech and its applications. Now I just want to be left alone where possible.

          When the end times are here and you find yourself bored you can come by my cave and check my collection of cool rocks and sticks.

        I’m just trying to see my kid through college and then I’m ready for something simpler. Goatops.com (well a copy/paste from before the site existed) made me chuckle and planted the seed, now I’m in the actual consideration stage of it.
