There's a list of fabrication plants

You'r egoing to find all the electric motors and batteries for cars will be made there, just assembled elsewhere

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_fabrication_plants

The problem that needs to be solved is consumer electronics and cars being built with built-in obselecence, and with poor quality parts, such that they require repair, and that corporations deliberately block third-party repair by denying access to schematics and diagnostics, and deliberately code up parts such that even if you get a genuine replacement part, it won't work

Check what kind of plants there are in China.

And also, Microsoft "we're going to become a carbon-negative company", the same week in which they rendered 10-20% of the world's computers, laptops, and netbooks obsolete with one decision

"lol"

sargon posted a video reacting to twitter salt. all of the shit I posted in this channel earlier.

So ask yourself this: Why would it be any easier for ICs to be reverse engineered if people could just buy them, so now, when they can just take one off a finished product?

did Carl-senpai notice us

?

No, Miku, he's in London

They are a monopoly, they can allow themselves to do so (annoyingly).

Sneaky suspicion the video was recorded at PJW's house

@Eccles just like why there were knock offs of everything from China

That won't change, Dostayer

Or more precisely

Technological advances

You won't stop them doing that

If they can source the product, they'll reverse engineer it

The Chinese companies doesn't posses the tech to make modern chips

lol

Like the US?

They -own- Arm Holdings, Dostayer

They own the company that has the patents to every RISC chip that's in pretty much every smartphone and tablet on the planet

In every router/network device

But there you go, the problems have been laid out - i've offered two alternatives to fix the problem

If there are alternatives, i'm all ears

What? Softbank is Japanese

And they own ARM holdings

That's odd, there were government enquiries at the time as to whether we should be allowing the chinese to buy it

I think you are mistaking them for broadcom

ye arm was bought by softbank

The reason why no western company (actually, even Huwawei fabricates its chips in Taiwan) is because they would be forced to transfer the technology to a Chinese partner/government

They're catching up

Look who fabricates the chips

TSMC is a Taiwanese company
