Not sure if you haven't noticed, but go try to by tech right now. Ask Apple how much they are raising prices regardless of where it's being sold at. Tariffs in the US absolutely will and do harm global prices, and you'd be completely out of touch to not think that. But thanks for the 'hurr hurr I am not from the US' excuse.

Its not an excuse, I'm not American. I live nowhere near US, thankfully. I'm not even adjacent. Why would I be subject to tarrifs applied to goods imported to the US?

And FYI the current (global) price of tech is because of the rapid expansion of datacenter compute. Fuck all to do with tarrifs.
