Which materials are they and how would you suggest doing it with fewer materials?

In theory, graphene based semiconductors would eliminate a lot of need for shipping and mining.

Maybe. They have the potential for faster semiconductors, but only after adequate modifications. Graphene isn't a semiconductor, and it isn't obvious that we'll find a way to fix that without (or even with) rare resources.

Whenever I see another supposedly menial device including enough general purpose hardware to run Doom, I wonder whether I should think of that as a triumph of software over hardware or an economic failure to build cheaper purpose-built hardware for things like sending audio over a radio.

Less computing power is not necessarily cheaper.

ultra pure water production itself is responsible for untold amounts of hydroflouric acid and ammonia , and most etching processes have an F-Gas involved, and most plants that do this work have tremendously high energy (power) costs due to stability needs/hvac. it's not 'just sand'.

How would you suggest doing it with fewer materials?

The claim was that "the materials that go into a chip are nothing". Arguing that that is not that case does not really put someone on the hook to explain or even have any clue how to do it better.

These accusations of someone using ChatGPT are cheap mindless attacks based on nothing more than the fact that someone has put together a good argument and used good formatting. If that's all your evidence is, don't you dare go near any scientific papers.

Yeah, because there’s plenty of ChatGPT going on in academia too :P

Heh - point taken.

But it is important to note that a lot of what people decry as "AI Generated" is really the fact that someone is adhering to what have been best practices in publishing arguments for some time.

Awesome advertising for the Pinebunds Pro. No chance the Fairbuds can do this? I don't know much about them. Also, with DOOM running on all these things now, is it still impossible to get it to run well on a 386?

I think there was a port that was much less demanding, and likely suitable for 386, but needs to be backported to x86
