The most annoying thing over the next few years is going to be listening to:
"What happened to my helthcare?" "You voted for Trump who promised to take it away. " "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why are the prices of groceries so high?" "You voted for Trump who promised to deport all the illegal farm workers who picked your food for low wages." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why did my daughter/wife/girlfriend/mother die in a hospital parking lot?" "You voted for Trump who promised to make life saving healthcare for women illegal nation wide." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the minimum wage?" "You voted for Trump who promised to lower it." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the Palestinians?" "You voted for Trump/voted for a third party candidate which allowed Trump to rise to power then he gave Netanyahu the go ahead to wipe them out." "But I didn't think that would happen to my family!"
Suck it up. This is your bed. You shat it in. Now lie there and be quiet. We're tired of your bullshit.
"Why did graphics cards quadruple in price?"
"You voted for Trump, who supported China steamrolling Taiwan, and now all of TSMCs foundries are bricked."
I wonder if it's the US or Taiwan that donates the thermite grenades on the machines? If it's the US Trump might just order them not to donate them as a gift to Xi.
From what I've read, TSMC themselves take a hardline anti-China stance. If Chinese jackboots set foot in Taiwan, they'll brick all of their foundries, or at least they say they will. Whether they actually will when push comes to shove is the bigger question
I don't think it's an issue of bricking them. I think they thermite grenade them. It's the optical technology that sets the ASML machines apart. They have to destroy the machines.
That's semantics
Uh, no it isn't. Bricking would be to render them inoperable. The machines need to be completely destroyed to keep the physical components of the optical path out of the hands of the Chinese. Thermite grenades on the optics and C4 to make sure
I'm pretty sure thermite will render them inoperable; it tends to render most things inoperable
K
No, that's potassium/kalium. If you want to brick them with with K, you probably want to start with potassium nitrate
No. that was, "This conversation is too stupid to continue." I've worked in more than one orange sledghammer and thermite grenade facility and studied chemistry in university.
Once again, "K".
