Why Miami’s Pop-Tarts Bowl appearance is important even after missing College Football PlayoffPITTSFIELD — After the gifts, the ham and the Bouche de Noel, it’s off to bed. But Christmas doesn't truly get packed away until the next morning, when there's another holiday ritual requiring attention: returns. The UPS Store on Elm Street was doing a brisk lunchtime business on Thursday as people set about that step in the winter holiday routine. “I’m returning a gift I don’t really want,” said Rita Santelia, as she stepped out the door. “Amazon has a great policy. They won’t let my friend know I’m returning her gift.” All the same, she said these words in a sotto voce, as if her friend, who lives in Long Island, might somehow hear. With billions of dollars in gifts changing hands, there's bound to be mistakes and misunderstandings headed back to stores, in exchange for the right size or the right present. The National Retail Federation estimated sales this holiday season would be up 3.5 percent over 2023 sales. That’s a total of between $997.5 billion and $989 billion. On its website, the federation says it expects online and other nonstore sales will increase between 8 and 9 percent for the season, for a total of between $295.1 billion and $297.9 billion in sales. That's an increase from $273.3 billion in sales last year. Michele Alfonso, of Pittsfield, was returning a gift her son bought for his stepson. As a home health aide, she didn’t mind making the trip on a day off. Dulce Benietes, of Pittsfield, was returning an espresso machine she gave her mother. “It was her Christmas gift,” Benietes said. “She didn’t want it.” Benietes didn't seem too sad about the mismatch; her mother will buy a less expensive one. Wendy Chivian, of Canaan, N.Y., returned athletic clothing her boyfriend bought for her that didn’t quite fit. “We already picked new things to replace them that will be coming soon,” she said. Megan Tesiniero, of Washington, was returning a pair of white shoes. “I ordered a pair of crocs for my son,” she said. “They were a size too small.” Like Chivian, she’d already ordered replacements. Engaging in a Dec. 26 post-Christmas ritual, Richard Keyes, of Pittsfield, was returning gifted shirts that were too small. Richard Keyes, of Pittsfield, was returning gifted shirts that were too small. “My daughter and her kids were here,” he said of his Christmas. “They live with us anyway, but we had a nice day.” At Walmart, Susan Marcinak, of Chatham, N.Y., was taking advantage of post-holiday sales to load up on stocking stuffers for her grandchildren, whom she’ll be celebrating with on Saturday. Robbie Seidman was out buying three pairs of boots for her husband to try on Thursday. It wasn't a trip she intended to make. “Basically we’re all getting together and having games,” she said. Robbie Seidman, of Stephentown, N.Y., didn’t expect to be shopping on Thursday. “We were supposed to have a house full of company coming up for Christmas and Hanukkah,” she said. “And my daughter’s family is all sick. They were going to bring up my husband’s boots that he forgot to bring up. So I’m buying three pairs of boots for him to try on when we get home.” That wasn't the only unexpected twist of the day for the couple. “Oh, we lost power last night too,” she said. “We were in Williamstown in a movie, and on our way home I got a text that power was out. And sure enough, we arrived home in the dark. But it was fine. We had soup in front of the fire.” Ed Adriance and his girlfriend, Kiera Kupiec, spent Christmas with family in Savoy. They ate lasagna and watched football. On Thursday they were out to buy handwarmers for her — to go along with the Philadelphia Eagles tickets he’d given her for Christmas. They also swung by Dick’s Sporting Goods to trade a pair of sweatpants he’d bought her that didn’t fit. Abbie Shettles used to live in the Berkshires and worked at Berkshire Medical Center. She enjoys returning and did so this week to be with her adult children for Christmas. She was out making returns on Thursday. Abbie Shettles lived in Pittsfield when her children were young. She was in from New York City to visit those children, who are now grown. On Thursday she was making returns of "miscellaneous over-purchases." “It’s been enjoyable," she said of her holiday visit. "I absolutely love it. It’s a big part of when I refer to home. Yes, I’m a native New Yorker, but definitely the Berkshires has a piece of that heart.”
Bank of America downgraded AMD on Monday, citing higher competitive risk in the AI market. AWS customers' low demand for AMD AI chips and Nvidia dominance impact AMD's growth potential. AMD could still succeed due to Nvidia supply issues and its server chip market position. Advertisement Bank of America downgraded AMD after a Business Insider report raised concerns about demand for the tech company's AI chips. Analysts at BofA cut AMD shares to a "neutral," citing "higher competitive risk" in the AI market, according to an analyst note published on Monday. Advertisement BofA analysts also lowered their AMD GPU sales forecast for next year to $8 billion, from $8.9 billion, implying a roughly 4% market share. AMD's stock dropped roughly 5.6% on Monday, after falling about 2% on Friday. Its shares are down about 5% so far this year. The declines follow BI's report on Friday that said Amazon Web Services was "not yet" seeing strong enough customer demand to deploy AMD's AI chips through its cloud platform. Advertisement Bank of America cited this AWS customer-demand issue, alongside Nvidia 's dominance and the growing preference for custom chips from Marvell and Broadcom, as factors limiting AMD's growth potential. "Recently largest cloud customer Amazon strongly indicated its preference for alternative custom (Trainium/ MRVL) and NVDA products, but a lack of strong demand for AMD," the Bank of America note said, referring to AWS's in-house AI chip Trainium and its close partnerships with Marvell and Nvidia. An AMD spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment on Monday. Advertisement AMD recently increased its GPU sales forecast, just a year after launching its line of AI chips. But its GPU market share is still far behind Nvidia's. Bank of America said AMD could still succeed in the AI chip market, in part due to Nvidia's supply constraints and premium pricing, making it a strong alternative, especially for internal cloud workloads. It also said AMD is well positioned in the server chip market, as rival Intel continues to struggle. Do you work at Amazon? Got a tip?

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday appeared to step into a raging debate among his supporters over visas for skilled workers on the side of Elon Musk, telling the New York Post he has "always liked the visas." The comments came as Trump loyalists have been fulminating against each other online for days over the H-1B visas. Immigration hard-liners, including Trump backers like Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon, subscribe to an "America First" agenda focused on creating more jobs for American citizens. But Musk, who is the world's richest man, and other tech titans have long supported the H-1B visa program, which allows businesses to hire skilled workers from foreign countries. They have argued, as Musk posted earlier this week, that "there is a dire shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers in America." In another post late Saturday night, Musk added : "The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B." He added: "Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend." In response, Bannon, who served as Trump's chief strategist, called Musk "a toddler " on the social media platform Gettr, posting: "Someone please notify Child Protective Services–need to do a 'wellness check; on this toddler" and linking to Musk's tweet. It was shortly after this point that Trump got on the phone with Jon Levine of the New York Post and told him: "I've always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them." Trump added that he has "many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H1-B. I have used it many times. It's a great program." It wasn't immediately clear what properties Trump was referring to that rely on the H-1B program. His golf courses and clubs, including Mar-a-Lago, have long relied on foreign workers coming to the United States under the H-2B program to work as housekeepers and cooks. The H-2B visa program allows employers to import unskilled workers from abroad for temporary jobs if no qualified U.S. workers want the jobs. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com .
