Maybe. Some of the older fabrication is still in heavy production use (e.g. 28nm, 16nm, 7nm):

These produce a lot of the chips that go into everything electronic, things like bus controllers and timing ICs, which are needed in higher volumes than CPUs and GPUs. But I kind of doubt the older fab technology will be a priority to build in the new facility.

TSMC isn't just a single factory production line that gets upgraded to the latest and greatest every year. It's a collection of many fabrication technologies that has grown and developed organically over time. While it will be helpful to build a new facility with the benefit of lessons learned in Taiwan, it will not be possible to completely replicate what that original facility is.

It's all about perspective.

All of them.

The US plants may be coming online but it will still be years before they're at production capacity, and they'll probably never have all of the same production capabilities. The chip fabrication lines in Taiwan have been decades in development and growth.

Sports is boring. The games are vaguely entertaining if you're actually playing them, but watching? Washing dishes is more engaging.

Hell, CSPAN is a better watch.

This breaks the economy.

If the US defaults on its loans, its creditability drops, which will probably destabilize the global value of the US$. China and Russia will benefit most. Every nation with financial ties to the US will suffer for it.

When trying to understand why certain decisions are made, follow the money. Donald Trump is a foreign asset.

Nah, I can just implant the chips. Need an insulator as substrate for mounting the components.

100%. I'm trying to convert my brain matter into an acceptable substrate for circuitry.

Dependent on federal money.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... the party of fiscal responsibility.

Is Donald Trump Afraid of bought by Elon Musk?

Which is insane if you know anything about the public ledger.

Also Bitcoin is still the entry point for buying a lot of other cryptocoins, so it's not likely to go down unless the entire market goes down.

"states' rights!"

Yeah, pay somebody else to be responsible for the server uptime and the bandwidth. Somebody who specializes in providing that.

I'd love to be wrong.

I can't see any other purpose to purging the FBI of non-loyalists.

I think the answer depends a lot on the use case of each business's website and what the business owner/employees expect from it.

Is the website a storefront? You'll be spending a lot of time maintaining integration with payment networks and ensuring that the transaction process is secure and can't be exploited to create fake invoices or spammed with fake orders. Also probably maintaining a database of customer orders with names, emails, physical addresses, credit card info, and payment and order fulfillment records... so now you have to worry about handling and storing PII, maybe PCI DSS compliance, and you'll end up performing some accounting tasks as well due to controlling the payment processing. HIPAA compliance too if it's something medical like a small doctor's office, therapist, dialysis clinic, outpatient care - basically anything that might be billable to health insurance.

Does the business have a private email server? You'll be spending a lot of time maintaining spam filters and block lists and ensuring that their email server has a good reputation with the major email service providers.

Do the employees need user logins so that they can add or edit content on the website or perform other business tasks? Now you're not just a web host, you're also a sysadmin for a small enterprise which means you'll be handling common end-user support tasks like password resets. Have fun with that.

Do they regularly upload new content? (e.g. product photos and descriptions, customer testimonies, demo videos) Now you're a database admin too.

Does the website allow the business's customers to upload information? (comments/reviews/pictures/etc, e.g. is it Web 2.0 in some way) god help you.

You're going to expose this to the public internet. It will be crawled, and its content scraped by various bots. At some point, someone will try to install a cryptominer on it. Someone will try to use it as a C2 server. Someone will notice that you're running multiple sites/services from one infrastructure stack and attempt to punch their way out of the webhost VM and into the main server just to poke around and see what else you've got there. Someone will install mirai and try to make it part of a DDOS service provider's network.

This feels like it will be used as an excuse by the Republicans to detain or even murder opposition.

They're going to do that anyway, with or without an excuse. Trump has openly talked about it.

Yes, because everyone who could have voted and didn't bears responsibility for looking the other way while Trump gained the presidency.

And everyone who was vocal at any point about not voting for Harris for any reason is culpable for assisting Trump in gaining the presidency, and for influencing others to do the same.
