Tech war: founder of Chinese #semiconductor equipment maker AMEC renounces US citizenship

> In October 2022, new restrictions rolled out by the US Department of Commerce banned “US persons” from being involved in “the development or production” of chips at “certain China-located semiconductor fabrication facilities”

> Last year, two AMEC executives with US citizenship, Ni Tuqiang and Yang Wei, stepped down from their positions as “core technical personnel” https://archive.fo/2025.04.18-134925/https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3307075/tech-war-founder-chinese-semiconductor-equipment-maker-amec-renounces-us-citizenship #China #chips

I need a momentary button switch (a reset button) that can solder into one of these through-hole pairs, more often used for jumper pins. I can't find any with simply through pins - such buttons always have the rounded fin connectors with an in-bored hole.

Anyone know where I can find such a button? Thanks.

A good read, which may explain why the US is so interested in Taiwan. They’re a decade ahead in chip manufacturing and have an incredibly skilled highly trained workforce.
Ah, I hear you say… Trump wants industry back in the USA, so why don’t the chip companies invest and build their factories in America?
Maybe they would… but a certain crazy right-wing American president has capped immigration so only a limited number of employees can come in.

Nvidia expects $5.5 bn hit as US targets chips sent to China

> #Nvidia on Tuesday notified regulators that it expects a $5.5 billion hit this quarter due to a new US licensing requirement on the primary chip it can legally sell in #China.

> #US officials last week told Nvidia it must obtain licenses to export its H20 chips to China because of concerns they may be used in #supercomputers there, the Silicon Valley company said in a SEC filing.

@raymondpert Ik zou direct stoppen met het verplaatsen van de chipproductie naar de VS, omdat eens gerealiseerd, laat de VS Taiwan vallen. TSMC is hun beveiliging.

I would immediately stop moving chip production to the US, because once that happens, the US will drop Taiwan. TSMC is their security.

Compared with the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, the new 8s Gen 4 chip promises a 31% CPU boost, 49% faster graphics, and 44% faster AI. But it uses Qualcomm's older Kryo CPU cores rather than the Oryon cores found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. #Qualcomm #Chips #Snapdragon8sGen4 https://www.gsmarena.com/qualcomm_snapdragon_8s_gen_4_announced_with_kryo_cpu_adreno_825_gpu-news-67213.php

MediaTek Kompanio Ultra is made for high-performance Chromebooks… and maybe more?

@sortius @trib @huwr @decryption I need to go on a chip crawl. Forget pub crawls, this is serious business. WHO'S IN? #Chips

Das CDU-#Deutschland glaubt aus der wirtschaftlichen Misere zu kommen durch "mehr Gastwirtschaften" und #Steuersenkungen für die (ohnehin notorisch Steuern hinterziehende) #Gastronomie.
Mehr muss man nicht wissen über ein Land, das die '#Wirtschaft' durch Fressen retten will - während andere eher an #Bildung, #KI, #Emobilität, #Chips (ja, genau, NICHT die, die man frisst) denken.

Altho-Brets en Centre-Bretagne : le vrai coût des chips made in France - Splann ! | ONG d'enquêtes journalistiques en Bretagne

Près de la moitié des paquets de chips vendus en France sortent de ses usines.

Chez Altho Brets, l’appétit vient en grignotant. L'entreprise contrôlée par le Breton Alain Glon agrandit son site historique de Saint-Gérand, près de Pontivy (56). Ce chantier, qui bénéficie d'aides publiques, inquiète des défenseurs de l'environnement. 1/

Les chips Brets, un empire qui crispe en Bretagne

Utilisation de pesticides, accaparement de la ressource en eau... La culture de #PommesDeTerre pour la fabrication de #chips est sous le feu des critiques. Mais leur consommation ne cesse d’augmenter, à tel point que l’usine bretonne de la société Altho, qui détient la marque Brets, est en train de construire une nouvelle unité.

Heyo!

Ich esse gerne mal #Chips und bin geschmacklich und vom krossfaktor her eigentlich ein großer Fan von Pringles (#Kellogs #USA ) Kennt ihr zufällig Ersatzprodukte die ihr ähnlich lecker oder sogar noch besser findet? :)
