特朗普暂缓对等关税三月 中国关税增至125%

美国总统特朗普宣布，即时上调对中国加征的关税税率至125%，并暂缓对其他国家征收较高税率的对等关税90日。特朗普在社交平台说，由于中国对世界市场的不尊重，他决定将美国对华关税提高至125%，即时生效，希望在不久的将来，中国能够意识到剥削美国和其他国家的日子已经不可持续，亦不可接受。相反超过75个国家已致电美国的代表机构，就贸易、贸易壁垒、关税、货币操纵及非货币性关税等相关议题进行磋商寻求解决方案，而且这些国家在他强烈建议下，未以任何方式对美国进行报复，因此他已批准实施为期90日的暂停措施，期间大幅降低对等关税至10%，同样即时生效。

Earlier this year, modular computer company Framework began a quest to fix “entry-level laptops” with the Framework Laptop 12, its first 12-inch laptop and its first 2-in-1 touchscreen PC. And as you might expect, Trump’s new US tariffs are making entry-level pricing difficult for Framework, which has at least briefly delayed US preorders of the […]

Last year TUXEDO Computers shared that they were developing an ARM Linux notebook powered by the Qualcomm Snapdeagon X Elite. They hoped to have the Snapdragon X Elite Linux laptop shipping by Christmas 2024, but that didn't pan out. TUXEDO Computers has now provided a status update regarding this ARM Linux notebook effort.

In mid-2024, TUXEDO had been teasing a Snapdragon X Elite Linux laptop to be offered by this Bavarian Linux PC vendor. Their hope was to begin shipping the product in 2024. But now into Q2'2025, it looks like it could still be a while until we end up seeing the device.

TUXEDO Snapdragon

TUXEDO Computers still isn't ready yet to release this Snapdragon X1 based laptop as the development has been "somewhat slow" due to various issues. But recently they did at least post an initial Device Tree to the Linux kernel mailing list for review. But that initial DT is far from complete in yielding a working TUXEDO ARM laptop.

The DT patch for this TUXEDO Elite 14 Gen1 laptop notes the current level of support:

Working:
* Touchpad
* Keyboard
* eDP (no brightness control yet)
* NVMe
* USB Type-C port
* WiFi (WiFi 7 untested)
* GPU (software rendering)

Not working:
* GPU (WIP: firmware loading but output is jerky)
* USB Type-A (WIP)
* Suspend with substantial energy saving
* Audio, Speakers, Microphones
* Camera
* Fingerprint Reader

Since then there was a follow-up patch working on the audio support for this laptop.

TUXEDO noted in the ARM notebook status update that a planned collaboration with Qualcomm didn't materialize. But TUXEDO is now working with Linaro to hopefully help in the effort for bringing this Snapdragon Linux laptop together.

TUXEDO currently doesn't have any ETA for when they hope to have the Elite 14 Gen1 laptop to bring to market. At this stage of the Snapdragon X1 Elite lifecycle and many of the Windows ARM laptops from other vendors beginning to see upstream Device Tree support, it's unfortunate this TUXEDO Elite 14 Gen1 laptop hasn't panned out quite as well as planned. The current state and various feature limitations isn't too surprising though from what we've seen with the various other Snapdragon X1 laptops on Linux riddled with different unsupported features and yet-to-be-completed tasks. With some devices lacking audio, touchpad / keyboard, GPU acceleration, or other issues, many of these laptops on Linux aren't good enough for daily/productive use.

Framework Computer has been working on bringing the Framework 12 to market as a new, smaller and convertible laptop while retaining the upgradeable aspects that users have come to love from the company. Today the company announced the pre-orders are open and the first Framework Laptop 12 devices will be shipping in June.

The Framework Laptop 12 DIY Edition starts at €569 / £499 / $719 CAD or for the pre-built versions the pricing starts at €849 / £749 / $1,079 CAD. You will notice no USD pricing and that's due to temporarily not shipping to the United States due to the ongoing tariff situation. The US tariff situation will hopefully be resolved soon but as a result no pre-orders are available today for US customers.

Framework Laptop 12

The Framework Laptop 12 has a 1920 x 1200 display, options of Intel Core i3-1315U or Core i5-1334U Raptor Lake-U SoCs, a single SO-DIMM slot for up to 48GB DDR5-5200 memory, and the expansion module system similar to the other Framework laptop models.

More details on the Framework Laptop 12 pre-ordering via the Framework Blog.

欧盟监管机构一直在积极追查科技巨头，并对其违法行为以及参与维持垄断和阻碍良性竞争的行为进行处罚。Google就是一个例子，它已经面临法律麻烦一段时间了。苹果和Meta现在似乎同样陷入了困境，欧盟正在追查这些大公司涉嫌违反《数字市场法》（DMA）。这些公司的命运原定于3月份决定，但由于关税谈判的焦点转移，该日期被推迟了。现在，欧盟宣布将在未来几周内公布决定。

欧盟就苹果和 Meta 可能违反其《数字市场法》（DMA）一事展开调查已有一段时间。尽管原定于3月宣布裁决，但由于全球政治局势持续紧张，且美国关税和贸易谈判日益受到关注，欧盟推迟了裁决。欧盟反垄断专员特蕾莎·里贝拉表示，裁决将在未来几周内公布。

自去年3月以来，欧盟委员会一直在追查这两家科技巨头是否违反了《直接市场管理法案》(DMA Act)，重点是遏制大型科技公司的主导地位，并通过在数字市场领域为用户提供更多选择来鼓励竞争。根据各种猜测和消息来源，苹果和Mera可能因违反该法案而面临轻微罚款。

这些轻微的处罚也可能归因于地缘政治紧张局势，这种紧张局势转移了人们的注意力，目前似乎正成为人们关注的焦点。如果欧盟真的处以罚款，这可能是新立法的首次严格执行，并可能为未来的决策铺平道路。两家科技巨头，尤其是Meta，都借此机会再次表达了对欧盟可能就遵守《数字市场法》做出的决定的不满。

Meta 坚称，该监管框架旨在抹黑大型科技平台，不公平。该公司还借此机会强调了与当局的合作。尽管欧盟即将在未来几周就此案做出裁决，但 Meta 仍然否认针对它的指控。这也凸显了科技巨头与监管机构之间在数字市场如何运作方面持续存在的摩擦。
