Are any Dell products made in the USA?
The tariffs will probably eat into the already slim margins. Will the great PC refresh and the NVIDIA AI servers delay additional layoffs?
Sorry
Sorry for the complete and total collapse of my mental health. I am at the end of the road of burnt out, and theres a massive cliff I’ll be coasting off before long. The brakes failed a while ago. Sorry about me 🙏 Looking for help. I need medicine to... — read more
