In some cases yes, in others no. As much as I love my new electronics I still play my 14 year old Xbox One, read on my 2012 Kindle Paperwhite and use multiple 5+ year old laptops t…

This is pretty good...simplifies the process and some of the items are out of order, but it describes the process pretty well. Keep in mind, even 20 year old chips have 6-700 steps…

They made money through extreme manipulation of the Indian stock market...when working with a market that has 422X leverage through derivatives its much easier to make money. https…

If his wife who is being charged in a crime asks her husband to destroy evidence, then yes that is a crime. Transporting may be what he was doing when he was caught, but they clear…

I loved L0phtCrack...

Some people also thought Gamestop was a good deal at $400 after 50x-ing...but when you look at fundementals, earnings and actual projected growth and not just the hype, you see the…

So just get rid of TSA and have no security? They find hundreds of guns in carry on baggage every year, but that should be no big deal right? They didn't force this person through …

> Commands now take about a day to arrive, with another day for confirmation. Compare that to the Moon (1.3 seconds), Mars (up to 4 minutes), and Pluto (nearly 7 hours). These numb…

https://www.reddit.com/r/Semiconductors/comments/18x5vr5/sem... This reddit post captures what I've seen at TSMC in Taiwan. $120K is normal pay at the director level...engineers ma…

TSMC has backup generators in their AZ fab. You actually have to have backup power or a few hundred millisecond blip could cause days or weeks of tool down time. You should see wha…

TW workers have a majority of their compensation in bonuses, so the OT portion is quite small and many do not even bother to ask for it. The overall compensation between a TW and U…

Wildfires don't usually happen downtown...which is what this website seems to be tracking. At least from this 2023 article the number of fires related to the homeless camps is pret…

https://www.wweek.com/news/2023/03/15/data-shows-fires-at-ho... Portland has issues with homeless...no one can deny this fact. Things are a little better since hard drugs were recr…

They were more of a bargain 3 months ago at $80B.

No one has doubted Intel's tech...its their manufacturing that is the problem. Anyone can make one successful chip from a wafer...making 80%+ yields is an entirely different proble…

Everything for the past few generations of nodes have not been actual dimensions but more of an equivalency. TSMC nodes are no different.

Wouldn't be the first time they became obsolete either...and I think even with the US governments help they are too far down the drain to come back.

What part of any plan they have had tells you they are likely to stop losing money any time soon? They are basically selling for asset price right now...because the market doesn't …

The iPhone 18 part is for clicks...it really has nothing to do with the iPhone 18 and everything to do with TSMC's N2 process.

This was not just from a thumb drive as that is very tightly controlled at TSMC (they did catch someone right away before it got leaked). The employees were caught printing info an…

You are forgetting AMD...they are up there as well (double digits %). Thats how the compete so effectively with Intel.

That will 100% never happen. Nvidia is big, but not even close to a majority of TSMC revenue or loading. Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, etc... In this case...TSMC is holding all the cards…

Probably losing appeal because, as another article pointed out, the 18A process has been found to be roughly equivalent to TSMC's N3 process, which was in HVM in 2023...not exactly…
