it's obviously important that zohran won. but it's equally important that cuomo and the despicable, racist, contemptuous, arrogant, loathesome forces arrayed behind him were brutally defeated. they banked on new yorkers hating and fearing each other. and they lost. what a town.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.
And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Everything else about the race aside, I still can't believe Zohran, who I've already voted for twice before as my local assemblyman, has this much name recognition and discourse now (good!)

Had a super busy week covering Computex. Taiwan showed me a great time in my few free hours, which is a testament to what an interesting place it is

Behold! @pcmag.com's tariff tracker, where we will be answering this question: "Is the cost to build a PC going up?"
Most components are made in China, but so far the tariffs haven't hit yet—except on GPUs, and prices are going wild already.

Tariff Tracker: So Far PC Build Prices Hold Steady—Except One Crucial Component
Many but not all PC parts come from China, and are subject to tariffs from 20% to 145%. Graphics card price hikes are the most concerning, but the trade war isn't the sole culprit.

i am far too stupid to be weighing in on this but one thing i would stress is that gaming media’s collapse wasn’t an inevitable fact of life. it’s the result of very stupid people making decisions they could have just as easily not made

Ah man...sad times for this industry.
Any publication with goals loftier than a race to the bottom can't sustain itself for long. Some great work here over the years
