Perhaps this isn't related to DOGE, but the White House memo also threw the defense industry in a lot of uncertainty over military-related grants possibly getting cut. It's more likely collateral damage than intentional, though.

The most cutting-edge chips are made in Taiwan. Hardly any (if any) chip foundry comes close to the quality they export. It will raise prices of nearly everything in a PC as consumers will probably buy up the remaining stock of modern hardware as an alternative.
I've read some idiots online saying "you're dumb if you didn't wait for the 5000 series" based off of the revealed MSRP, as if the majority of people are ever going to buy at those prices (especially now with tariffs). What's likely is that consumers will pay far more to get relatively less improvement if they go with a 5000 series card.
There's enough sucker fanboys for Nvidia that they'll probably still sell though. Just like how there's people who will buy the new Call of Duty each year.
People hyped for the Nvidia 5000 series better get their cards before prices skyrocket across the board. I guess graphics cards weren't expensive enough or something.
Really though, no brand is safe from the soon-to-be insane prices if this does go through as a blanket tariff without exceptions. Better to err on the safe side and upgrade soon as you can, if you need to and you're not too wealthy to care.
Social media addiction is widespread. Once these sites get their hooks in their users, they will keep coming back to the site no matter how it makes them feel. It takes a conscious effort to either wean off or go cold-turkey on a particular site. Many get lazy or too comfortable to make the switch.
Sorry for not being clear, I meant the speculoos butter spread, most commonly Biscoff butter.
Chunky speculoos spread and strawberry spread is the way to go. I need to try it on brioche one of these days.
Speculoos and jelly sandwiches. It's possible they serve that in Europe somewhere, but you could never find that served in the US.
I'd like to be proven wrong though.
IMO a hash brown patty from Trader Joe's is far better if it's skillet-fried at home with a little bit of oil. It's also far cheaper if you don't need to eat on the go.
Their breakfast steak patty sandwiches though, no place makes it like them and I absolutely love them. I wish they made burgers with their steak patties, but that probably won't happen.
I'm still surprised people use the old definition of "incel" considering that the connotations changed to "radical misogynist" or "terrorist" in the eyes of the mainstream nowadays. Personally I wouldn't be caught dead using the term to describe anyone who simply doesn't get laid. In 2013 it would be fine but nowadays it's almost slanderous.
And you know that small businesses and independent establishments aren't seeing one minute of that free prison labor under their roof. It's all going to large companies with connections to government.
I'm not arguing that either should benefit from effective slave labor, but the fact that the biggest players get this insane advantage just rubs extra salt in the wound.

In my state, prepared foods are generally taxed while produce, canned goods, dairy, and many others are not. The system is confusing enough that hardly anyone knows what's taxable or not, so they rely on the store systems to do it for them.
