I thought Steamboat Willie was public domain. Not Mickey Mouse.

It’s always the ones you most suspect…

Hopefully to the grave.

I should’ve read the article before commenting. It’s absolute horseshit.

A big chunk of the article is TSMC whining about the construction industry and fab workers.

Intel has 2 fabs already in AZ with 2 more on the way the way in AZ with the same resources as TSMC. Additionally they have a huge existing site in Oregon, another couple of fans in New Mexico, and are building a new fab in Ohio.

Not to mention, Samsung is building a monster site in TX.

So far it’s only TSMC trying to pull resources from Taiwan because they don’t like the same construction services that are building Intel/Samsung fabs. The economist is then backing them up by calling for more immigration in order to support the semiconductor industry which is the opposite point of the CHIPS act.

If Intel and Samsung aren’t complaining, and are on-track, we should probably not let TSMC get away with bending the rules because people want to get paid a living wage and work reasonable hours.

I mean, Intel has kinda been doing that in the US for 40+ years.

Wait, what? For real? Thats shitty.

I think I’m OOTL, what’s wrong with 5G?

Yeah that’s the offer out of the gate if you’re an existing Verizon customer.

I just switched from Xfinity 1200 Mbps cable to Verizon 5GUW home internet @ 350Mbps. The Verizon plan has been consistently outperforming the Xfinity plan. It was really unreliable\flaky. I’d drop work calls and data transfers, or get booted from games multiple times a week. I opened so many tickets over the course of 5 years and it never really improved. My Verizon plan has been rock solid for about 6 mo now. Also the Xfinity plan was ~$120/mo. Verizon is locked in at $35/mo for 10 years and no data caps. I’m not gonna be looking back.
