- prmoustache 2y agoI guess you need to avoid using any phone, tablet or laptop then unless all its chips are built in Taiwan. I know Apple Silicon is built there but what about other chips in their hardware?
- b112 2y agoSome chips are not a concern, but a CPU with its firmware most certainly is. NICs would be too, for obvious reasons. For example, simple gate chips, or I/O chips are likely not a concern. Also, many other places in the world than Taiwan make chips, they just make a lot.
