it's exactly why we're not allowed a competitive market for CPUs
we could all be burning our own tiny ~300nm feature size ICs at home for around the price of a blu ray burner and a dark room setup. Our silicon limitations are not for a lack of hardware, but rather a lack of freedom.
- bob1029 4mo ago> a lack of freedom > ~300nm feature size Can you point to a specific regulation that prevents me from crafting shitty semiconductors in my shed? I am pretty sure there are entire YouTube channels dedicated to this.

- fc417fc802 4mo agoI think it's less any regulation and more the lack of products to facilitate it. The guys rolling their own from scratch on youtube weren't anywhere near 300 nm last I checked.
- 15155 4mo agoThere are plenty of products to facilitate small-scale semiconductor manufacture: university nanofabs all over the world have them. You can, too, without much/any paperwork... if you have the funds.
