Summary

Best Buy warned that Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada could raise prices on consumer electronics, as 60% of Best Buy’s inventory comes from China.

Trump plans to impose a baseline 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods to boost domestic manufacturing.

Retailers like Best Buy and industry groups like the Consumer Technology Association are preparing for supply chain disruptions by importing goods early or sourcing alternatives to avoid higher consumer prices.

      I trust it as long as it’s a Samsung and their verification app passes. They have a Windows app that checks an SD card and authenticates that it’s a legit Samsung one.

      I don’t even know what that means. If it was in its original packaging? Sure. Why wouldn’t I? Are they secretly repackaging virus-filled SD cards in like-new sealed plastic clamshells?

        Go on youtube and search “Fake SD Card”

        The packaging is near identical.

        You have too much faith in society. There are scammers and fraudsters everywhere not just politics, but even in commerce.

        Because the packaging and design on the card aren’t that hard to fake convincingly and amazon doesn’t care where the stock comes from it all goes in the bin so to speak. So if some really good fakes get in the shuffle you could get unlucky.

        Either virus-filled cards or cards that are tampered with to show up as 2GB but are actually only 100MB or whatever. I got burned twice by that from purchases on ebay.
