MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico said Wednesday its postal service was suspending package shipments to the United States ahead of an end to the exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages by the Trump administration.

The announcement follows similar moves by postal services from the European Union and several other countries to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the U.S. measure. It also comes amid months-long negotiations between the Mexican government and the Trump administration to avoid wider tariffs.

The exemption — known as the “ de minimis” exemption, which allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free — is ending on Friday. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Mexico’s government said its postal service, Correos de Mexico, will temporarily suspend package deliveries to the U.S., starting Wednesday.

“Mexico continues its dialogue with U.S. authorities and international postal organizations to define mechanisms that will allow for the orderly resumption of services, providing certainty to users and avoiding setbacks in the delivery of goods,” the statement read.

Dashboard

Hey folks, for the past couple of months I've been working on a free and open-source app which bridges the gap between Linux and Windows even further. This is how WinBoat was born, and I'm really excited to share it with all of you.

Setup Screen

It's a passion project of mine, I wanted to create something that both new folks moving over from Windows to Linux and folks with more advanced requirements could use. Something with a polished interface and well designed integrations.

Apps Page

WinBoat uses Docker and KVM underneath the hood, and because it runs real Windows, you can use any Windows app pretty much. FreeRDP is used for compositing windows onto your Linux desktop. You can move, resize, and drag them around like you'd do with any other window. WinBoat takes some inspiration from WinApps (it's an awesome project, you should check it out) but takes a different approach when it comes to UI/UX, automation, and features.

Native Windows

If you're interested please check out winboat.app and join our Discord community. 😄

Should you happen to have any questions, please leave a comment and I'll try to answer you.

Features

  • Elegant Interface: Sleek and intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates Windows into your Linux desktop environment, making it feel like a native experience
  • Automated Installs: Simple installation process through the app interface - pick your preferences & specs and let WinBoat handle the rest
  • Run Any App: If it runs on Windows, it can run on WinBoat. Enjoy the full range of Windows applications as native OS-level windows in your Linux environment
  • Full Windows Desktop: Access the complete Windows desktop experience when you need it, or run individual apps seamlessly integrated into your Linux workflow
  • Filesystem Integration: Your home directory is mounted in Windows, allowing easy file sharing between the two systems without any hassle
  • And many more: Smartcard passthrough, resource monitoring, and more features being added regularly

Tech Stack

  • Electron & NodeJS (App)
  • Vue (Frontend)
  • Xel Toolkit & Tailwind (UI Frameworks)
  • Golang (Guest Server Backend)
  • Docker (Guest Host)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A top Florida official says the controversial state-run immigration detention facility in the Everglades will likely be empty in a matter of days, even as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration and the federal government fight a judge’s order to shutter the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by late October. That’s according to an email exchange shared with The Associated Press.

In a message sent to South Florida Rabbi Mario Rojzman on Aug. 22 related to providing chaplaincy services at the facility, Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie said “we are probably going to be down to 0 individuals within a few days.” Rojzman, and the executive assistant who sent the original email to Guthrie, both confirmed the veracity of the messages to the AP.

A spokesperson for Guthrie, whose agency has overseen the construction and operation of the site, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

News that the last detainee at “Alligator Alcatraz” could leave the facility within days came less than a week after a federal judge in Miami ordered the detention center to wind down operations, with the last detainee needing to be out within 60 days. The state of Florida appealed the decision, and the federal government asked U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams to put her order on hold pending the appeal, saying that the Everglades facility’s thousands of beds were badly needed since detention facilities in Florida were overcrowded.

Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

A última vez que estive nesta posição lixei-me, tinha dito que 20k era o meu valor mínimo e quando ofereceram 20k aceitei porque achei que o budget que tinham era este. Mais tarde vim a saber que a pessoa que substituí ganhava 26k e tinha menos responsabilidades.

Anos depois estou na mesma situação, voltei a dizer que 30k era o valor mínimo (na verdade dei um range de 30-35k) mas quero estar preparado caso voltem a oferecer o meu mínimo. A posição é de gestor de contas numa agência de publicidade e é uma posição senior, não havendo grande progressão de carreira a não ser que algum dos superiores saia, portanto apenas poderei considerar a progressão percentual mínima anual.

Como é que vocês negoceiam este tipo de propostas, de forma a conseguir o melhor valor possível sem por em risco o emprego? Preciso de todas as dicas. Obrigado!
