it’s complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there’s a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.

afaik, risc and cisc are pretty much the same anymore. x86, risc v and arm all have bloated instructions sets, and they all decode to risc microcode under the hood anyways.

lol those are dram chips in the stock photo.

(more risc v investment away from the us is a good thing though!)

as always dns is the weak link in internet infrastructure. if they can takedown piracy domains they can take down anything.

dude is a rancid piece of shit, but like, the un is a joke.

I mean it’s easier and vastly more compatible than it was even a couple years ago thanks to the proton devs.

my backup is staring longingly at LTO drives and wishing they would magically be affordable.

Gonna need a little higher density barcode lol
