Nobody mentioned taxing it at all (capture requirements aren't a tax, and the EPA doesn't have the power to tax anyway).
None of the rest of your post has anything to do with what I said, much less the subject at hand.
Roblox avatars don't even need to have hands or feet (see: classic noob avatar).
That fact aside, Roblox tends to feature very low poly counts and low res textures to keep the hw requirements for games low.
Which Western companies? Apple? Google? Samsung isn't in the West.
Price is a consideration. Huawei foldables are likely much cheaper. Samsung probably has better hardware specs.
That likely won't stand. The EPA has already been slapped down by the Supreme Court once for attempting to regulate CO2 as a pollutant when the Clean Air Act doesn't explicitly list CO2 as a pollutant.
Only Congress could kill coal in such a fashion.
No, I'm not conflating anything. Reread my post. I stated the opposite.
If you are not a hardcore tuner you can back off the PL2 value and disable MCE to make sure that PL values are enforced. 180W should be safe.
If you are a tuner, you can tweak voltages and clocks in XTU or use the UEFI directly.
Winning benchmarks.
That issue was solved months ago, and it was only people running excess vSoC settings mostly due to EXPO memory kits. We've already covered the matter in comments here at least once.
Same family of CPUs but different product with different problems. The culprit is Z790 motherboards with CPUs ranging from 13900k-14900ks. Products you don't have with wildly different power draw.
China established their position as a major international steel producer by dumping in order to destroy foreign competition. The United States wasn't the only country in their crosshairs. At least in theory, countries outside of China should be able to produce enough steel to supply most (if not all) of the Western world without relying on Chinese steel.
Or more to the point, the United States should be able to buy what it needs from other countries should tariffs make steel from China cost-prohibitive.
Too many manufacturers got hooked on cheap Chinese steel. Those prices were unrealistically low.
Which European companies have pulled out of the US market completely due to state-level regulations?
Oh there will be backdoors. They just won't be OUR backdoors.
Nobody honestly thinks China can be prevented from making technological advancements. Originally (e.g. pre-2021) the goal was to prevent China from stealing IP and to avoid feeding their worst inclinations.
If China is determined to develop its own CPU IP and fabs (and other stuff we don't want to hand to them on a silver platter) then so be it.
Take a look at what Tenstorrent is doing with RISC-V:
They're using RISC-V in at least part of their product lineup (you'll have to do some digging to see exactly how). With all the AI hype, China may do their best to copy their efforts, and maybe even steal some of their implementations.
All the simple programs have been written.
