      I think he knows that as he is calling BS on the tariffs being the problem. Any case they make can be made with the same quality of materials not subject to tariffs. It should be obvious is the "large account" that defaulted as the real problem. One account was given way too much credit and the default made paying bills impossible. This is not called tariffs it is called shitty business practices.

      I wish we were still racing for GHz, i don't need more than 4 core 8 threads for basically anything i do on a PC, but i'd very much like more single core performance. I guess we're hitting the limits of process shrinks though, so unless games figure out how to distribute their workloads over multiple cores, we're pretty much at a plateau. Because clock speed isn't about to increase any time soon. I wonder if i'll see 6GHz in my lifetime.
      More cores takes more power though, while process shrinks allow for faster clock speeds without producing more heat or using more power, so sadly this is about where mobile chips plateau as well, and that sucks..

    • @Keltheran

      AS PC Master Trends says, AMD will never be winning over gamers since games by their core design will never run well with many threads so Intel will probably keep that market firmly under control and they will probably keep owning the server side due to their much lower power efficiency but it is likely that AMD could corner the rendering and workstation market

    Ultimately, the tariffs didn't kill Caselabs. They obviously didn't help them, but the large defaulted account is really what did them in. At the end of the day, I'm going to miss CaseLabs, but I think it's a convenient story to roll with. A 10-25% tariff won't amount to an ~80% increase in price, and CaseLabs was already a niche manufacturer.

    The Tariffs did NOT kill CaseLabs. Their MATERIAL costs were MINIMAL compared to the price of their cases. I work in the material cost realm, and their heaviest (shipped) case is 25 Pounds. Even at a 50% scrap rate on the materials during manufacturing, this means they needed 50 pounds of steel to start. This means that case had about $25 in steel (and that's buying at low volumes and a pretty high quality steel).
    The Tariffs would have added $7.50 to their raw material prices...which could have easily been put into the price of their case. The price would have gone from OMFG Expensive to OMFG+$7.50 Expensive.

      I kinda agree. They also mentioned the default of a large account, which would probably also have been a factor.

It gives them the evidence that they want to see, so they focus on the trade reason and then ignore the other reasons.

    • @LinhNguyen-im4uu
      @LinhNguyen-im4uu 6 лет назад +2

      Pretty much this. I work in sheet metal manufacturing and very rarely do we ever worry about steel prices. We have made products for our customers that amount to about $60 in total manufacturing cost and retail at $400+. Within that $60, only about $10-15 are for steel, the rest goes to screws, nuts, plastics and labor.
      Caselabs products are expensive due to US labor costs and niche approach, their business model was fragile to begin with, and material costs only played a very tiny role in their downfall. I don't think people buying their custom $300 cases would mind a well justified $10 increase. It's only when you make tens of thousands of them that $10 becomes a big deal.

    • @WreckDiver99
      @WreckDiver99 6 лет назад +1

      Aluminum, Plastic, Steel. BTW: The Tarrifs were on SHEET goods and rough form goods. What this means is that if CaseLabs was importing pre-formed items for their cases they wouldn't have been affected in the first round of of this. If they were buying sheet goods from China (Coil Stock, plate, etc.) then yes. they would have been affected. The issue is still the fact that their cases were all of $30 or so in material cost. Everything after that was processing (labor, overhead, SG&A, ED&T, Profit). This brings me back to my SMA8 analysis. 25 pound case...at $1/lb for steel (about 2.5 times the real cost) the material costs were $50 (due to scrap produced during the manufacture of said case)...the Tariffs added $12.50 to their material costs (excluding their payback for selling their scrap...which they better have been doing).
      The failure was not due to tariffs...they sold a premium case at a premium price. Their problem was losing a big contract and not being able to recover from that...

There's no way the tariffs are even close to the main cause. Not only would it not increase costs much, but it hasn't been anywhere near long enough to kill a company that wasn't already on its deathbed. What's it been a month and a half?

Taking into account marketing, manufacturing, employee pay, research and development that's a big hit. Yes, company's are allowed to and need to make money to research new products and to reinvest and believe it or not not every company keeps all that money.

    A couple years ago I purchased a CaseLabs TX10D and figured it would be the last case I would ever need. But I assumed that I could buy any additional brackets and mounts as needed.
    But instead I now have an expensive case that at some point may become irrelevant due to new hardware that I want but cant fit without access to the additional case components that I would need.
    This is a very dark day indeed.
    And while the tariffs alone may not have been responsible, they most certainly would have led to the situation of things getting bad enough that they had to close before they could have found a solution.

      @Darin Morgan. He's saying that CaseLabs made a bald faced lie. Not Linus. (And I agree with him, steel was NOT what closed them. No way in hell)
      What closed them was that someone who promised to buy a whole bunch of cases for a massive sum of money suddenly decided not to, and then CaseLabs didn't have money. That's it: "A large account defaulted". Many people don't seem to realize how close many of these craft-type startups run, and that's without paying large wages or anything either.

    CaseLabs can't afford to buy US steel and aluminium? Or get supplies from the EU? Why do companies rely on China for 100% of their supplies? And even if the products get slightly more expensive by switching to EU or US supplies, I don't think they would loose many customers, since CaseLabs was reliant on brand loyalty even before, as their cases are quite expensive and not mainsteam. Blaming it all basically on tariffs is just a weak excuse. If cases and parts get 10% more expensive due to tariffs and rising prices (which can also happen regardless of tariffs) I don't think it would matter too much. Something else at CaseLabs failed horribly...

    • @dstblj5222

    Ads really serve no purpose if no one is interested in them. I skip almost all ads that I can skip. But I have also been known to watch 20 minute commercials that have high production value, because they were genuinely entertaining. The vast majority of ads are trying to sell me products I'm not the slightest bit interested in. In fact, I honestly can't remember the last time I was forced to watch a relevant ad. And some ads make the companies seem so scary that I would absolutely never use them. So I think Spotify's idea is actually a good one. Let's see advertisers to work for their revenue, rather than work on the premise that just displaying the same brand over and over will actually convince people to buy the product! Reviews like those done by LTT do far more to convince me to buy or not buy a product or brand.
