Realistically? For some stuff American jobs will move back, but I think most of the jobs will just move to other countries that don’t have the scrutiny that China has. Countries like the Philippines which have only a 17% tariff on the new scheme. On top of that, they probably are lower cost for labor and the biggest cost is the factory itself and shipping infrastructure. If a company has to finance a new factory anyways, the Philippines is more attractive than the US.

And that’s just a random country I picked from the tariff list. I’m sure there some country out there that has the right mix of cheap labor, shipping infrastructure, location, and obscurity that lets it avoid tariffs to the point where most good come from there instead.

Images from PDFs, wasn’t thinking about that. I normally work with just image files. Cool!

What image types are you using that ffmpeg can’t convert? To my knowledge it works for almost anything.

Ffmprg is remarkably powerful. If it is a picture on your screen, you can use ffmpeg to do what you want to it. Recently discovered it could convert PNG, jpeg, and webp images back and forth. To think I’ve only used it for video.

Actually, they only validated up to 4xs in the product name, so take the 5x result with a grain of salt, one of the Xs aren’t validated.

Unless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don’t, you can just download from another user.

It’s a game designed for kids with not enough moderation/limitations for a kids game. There’s literal porn games if you look in the right places (called ‘condo games’)

I saw a post earlier about Empress returning to game cracking. For modern video games that use Denuvo DRM, she’s the only person who can really crack it, as far as I know. Singlehandedly holding up the AAA game piracy scene.

Here’s the email of one of the students that were involved in the project. Try directly reaching out to them:
