The Trump administration’s unprecedented import taxes are weighing heavily on US businesses and consumers, and nowhere more heavily than in the computer industry. The team over at Gamers Nexus published an incredible exposé video on how the tariffs are affecting businesses across the industry last week, and Steve is joining The Full Nerd podcast later today to break it down for us.
If you haven’t watched the Gamers Nexus exposé, then go do it now. Or maybe bookmark it for later because it’s nearly three hours long, featuring interviews with representatives from Corsair, Cooler Master, CyberPowerPC, iBuyPower, Hyte, and others. Steve Burke and his team get the info straight from industry insiders, detailing how companies in the US and beyond are scrambling to deal with a chaotic situation that can have costs and projections changing in just days (or even hours).
It’s an incredible video. Seriously. Freakin’ amazing reporting. And we’re thrilled to have Steve on The Full Nerd podcast to talk about it. You’ve still got (just) enough time to finish watching the original video if you hurry, then join us for the live recording this afternoon at approximately 2 PM Eastern US time, 11 AM Pacific (or a little after, depending on how friendly our equipment is feeling).
You won’t want to miss it. But if you do, it’ll be available later on The Full Nerd YouTube channel, which you’re already subscribed to, right? For news, reviews, and shorts, you can also check out the PCWorld YouTube channel as well.
