Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan hints at foundry collaboration with TSMC
> New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said Thursday he recently met with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to discuss ways to collaborate
> While most American semiconductor companies have gone fabless -- meaning they only design chips and outsource production to contract chipmakers such as #TSMC -- #Intel retains the integrated device manufacturing (IDM) model, meaning it both designs and manufactures #chips. https://archive.ph/2025.04.24-233031/https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/Intel-CEO-Lip-Bu-Tan-hints-at-foundry-collaboration-with-TSMC
New Post From Cliff's Vernissage
Found the new Vlasic Pickle Balls yesterday at Sam's Club. They definitely have a good pickle flavor, though I wish they had a bit more pickle flavor. Definitely worth trying if you like pickle stuff.
There is also a spicy version of these, but we haven't found them yet, and those might not even be available as of yet.

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.

Felix Salmon on MSNBC Live -
Trump's "announcement" that Invidia is now planning to make some of it's chips in the US is not an announcement - Invidia has been planning to do so for months already. But it's a very difficult thing to do and no one knows when or even if it will happen. Right now #Invidia gets it's chips from #Taiwan.*

Me:
Once again, Trump is spreading disinfo, trying to take false credit.

RE
#Trump absolutely hated the #CHIPS act for two reasons. 1. #Biden did it. 2. It worked.
So of course he wanted to nuke it. Same thing with #Obamacare
The #MAGA goal was to make people 
perceive Congress AND Biden were doing ZERO ACTION.
So anything Trump does as President is "good" even, raising costs from #tariffs
But we WILL ACT, this Nov 2026 in the #midterms

#US President #Trump exempts #smartphones, #computers, and #chips from new #tariffs, including those imported from #China.
Ik heb momenteel een chips-bui, die duurt totdat de chips-bui weer over is.
Nog vragen?

Mijn gewicht? Wat is er met mijn gewicht. Ben ik niet gewichtig genoeg?
Oh.

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.
