Just think about the supply chain issues we had last year and in 2021 and then multiply that by 1000.
Nah, that's background noise. Been there, done that, everybody will be slightly better prepared for Chip Shortage 2, TSMC Boogaloo.
iPhones/iPads processors are produced there, and those are bleeding edge. The implication is that iPhones/iPads will not only have minimum 2 years of shortages, but it could be up to 5-10 years before a new iPhone has a better CPU than an old one.
They build them in this hellhole because it's geologically stable and the weather is very stable, so the barometric pressure doesn't change quickly or often. In the context of semiconductor manufacturing, changes in barometric pressure effect the refractive index of the air, which changes the angles lasers travel in when transitioning between different transmittance media (glass lens to air, air to mirror, etc) which has a huge effect on where they land when you're measuring in nanometers.
Intel built a water recycling plant in partnership with SRP (local power and water utility) which lets them put the vast majority of the water they use back into the ground. Hopefully TSMC will do the same.
Nice to know there is another FBI Agent Hexbear in this hellhole, though. I hope you can get out soon.
I think the US bombing TSMC is a legitimate potential cause toward the ultimate end of civilization… not to be too dramatic.
A missile strike on a Chinese building in Chinese territory? Yeah you're damn right that's going to be an event that takes us closer to the brink than we've ever been, probably over it.

it would suck for the whole world, including China because as of right now, China's chips are behind what TSMC makes.

These fabs are probably difficult to operate without the usual staff since they are so specialized

Yea why didn't they go with Mississippi or something? Labor would be cheaper there no? It would also help their tax revenue prolly.

They blew up a pipeline the entirety of German Industry desperately needed. They will go there.

and germany just went "oh, i'll guess i'll die then"
Even better, they bought $8 billion worth of F35s from the US a couple months later.
The Amerikkkans are actively pillaging Europe with this conflict and all they can do in response is help bag the cash for them
