androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 14:04:47

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR A new Executive Order ends the $800 duty-free limit for all commercial imports starting August 29. The move closes various shipping loopholes used to avoid earlier China-specific tariffs. Prices for budget gaming handhelds and other devices shipped after the deadline may face steep duties. Remember when we said cheap gaming handhelds were about to get more expensive in the US? Well, it’s worse than we thought, and it’s happening soon. A new Executive

A new report released yesterday by the Department of Energy purports to provide “a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.” But nine scientists across several different disciplines told WIRED that the report mishandled citations of their work: by cherrypicking data, misrepresenting findings, drawing erroneous conclusions, or leaving out relevant context.

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Making Roman concrete produces as much CO2 as modern concrete
