Meanwhile in burgerland, Arizona TSMC is down half a billion dollars, is only just starting to build chips, is completely dependent on the global supply chain, costs twice as much to produce chips as in Taiwan. And most of the staff in Arizona are still from Taiwan anyway cause no one in the US understands the process and we refuse to invest in research and education.

Wait till you hear about LoongsonTM.

What does "fully controllable" mean in this context? I read the article and still don't understand.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think they just mean the supply chain is entirely domestic.

Oh, okay. I thought it was some technical feature I'd never heard of.

They're also using their own RISC architecture which is neat, it's supported by the Linux kernel and the computers I see listed for sale using it are all running distros based on Fedora 21 or just straight Fedora 28
