IIRC USB killers work because they're sustained high voltage. USB ports can often deal with a static discharge or over current, but a sustained 200 volts will let the magic smoke out.
I tried feeding Japanese audio to an LLM to generate English subs and it started translating silence and music as requests to donate to anime fansubbers.
No, really. Fansubbed anime would put their donation message over the intro music or when there wasn't any speech to sub and the LLM learned that.
Nobody wants to deliberately use the wrong compression type when extracting, so modern tar will figure out the compression itself if you just point it at a file. So tar -xf filename works on almost anything. You don't need to remember which flag to use on a .tar.bz2 file and which one for a .tar.xz file.
Sounds like it's even stupider than that - he wants to tariff movies sold in the US by US companies which were filmed overseas. So it not only doesn't go through a port, the finished movie doesn't cross borders at all.
Hollywood accounting is very experienced at making money disappear when taxes are due, I can't imagine tariffs would pose any problem at all. Anything that crosses the border will be worth $0 and make a loss, they'll have the paperwork to prove it.
I might be completely wrong about what Trump meant here. Which is fair, really - he likely doesn't know what he meant either.
The general public can always use more reminders that billionaires are terrible people who stole their wealth from the people who produced it.
