    OK what about the factory that makes the machines in the chip factory…

      This stuff is half way up my professional alley and when I read it I had to think about the posts on hackaday the last 2 years which kind of document this new homebrew scene made of madmen.

        I know absolutely nothing beyond the lego-brick level of building and watercooling machines. No EE chops whatsoever… but this stuff is so interesting to me and maybe one day, cost and space no object, having a palatial garage or workshop to muck around in… Just knowing it’s possible really is the half of it.

    I mean, anything can look like a conspiracy to a layperson who pays zero attention to 60 years of incremental progress and focuses solely on the end result. It’s the same reason why people think vaccines are evil, or that 5G towers cause COVID.

      Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

      But also, it would be nice to invest a bit more in science and engineering (with smaller class sizes, more educated teachers, and more hands on experimentation) rather than doing “teach the controversy” shit in auditorium sized rooms full of kids who have already been indoctrinated to believe in magic.

      5G towers do cause covid. Without 5G my WiFi would be far too shitty to book a cinema seat and get nice and infected by Karen her unvaccinated crotch goblins.

      Edit: yes I am looking at a different provider.

      I was of the understanding, it was in fact covid that caused 5g towers.

      I think there’s something in that for all of us… mmmm yes

          I’ll wait until Jenny McCarthy tells me chips are made by aliens, thank you very much.

          You can’t believe everything you read, y’know.

            Aliens caused covid, so the covid vaccines caused autism, so the autistic people create 5G and microchips to propell out species forward.

            thanks, aliens

    I think TSMC’s, a contract maker, market share is even 104.7%, not just around 61%. There are literally no other companies producing chips. Don’t be fooled by sources telling you about a Korean company Samsung or made up words like Intel or Nvidia.
