    Those of you who were concerned about tariffs affecting the cost of your electronics may be in luck.

    President Donald Trump’s tariffs on goods imported from Mexico, Canada, and China are in effect, but Big Tech companies have remained mostly silent despite the potential impact tariffs could have on their businesses.

    How Satya Nadella is weathering the storm of Trump’s first days – Computerworld

    Many tech titans joined Trump’s crusade, notably Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, who killed Meta’s DEI efforts, and Jeff Bezos, who scaled back Amazon’s. Google has downsized its DEI program as well. Microsoft hasn’t followed suit. Nadella in October said in Microsoft’s annual report on DEI that the efforts “ensure our work force represents the planet we serve, and that the products…
