Not really. You can't reliably make large features with a small process node, and because the smaller processes are dramatically slower and more expensive and have lower yield, unless you can counter all that with more dies per wafer y

This article is sadly incorrect (not poor journalism necessarily, but based on statements from vendors who are defending their own interests). Big name manufacturers are refusing to invest in fab expansion because they believe (correctly) t

Not quite. You need bigger feature sizes to get good yields and good voltage resistance and performance over wider temp ranges, so a modern design would still need to be built on large-feature nodes. The car industry did cause this, but the

Do it! I switched from Eagle years back because I needed a guarantee that I'd be able to open a decade-old design and the subscription model destroyed that confidence. Kicad was annoying but manageable then, it's an absolute joy t

See my other comment in this thread - it makes no sense to ramp up production because the current demand increase is almost entirely due to lack of market confidence and there's no guarantee it will last long enough for new capacity to

Graphics cards and gaming consoles are heavily affected by availability of many other things than their headline processors. There's a ton of other parts in there, power management ICs, level shifters, muxes, switches, all sorts of tin

There's exactly one thing I still prefer to do in Gimp - splitting a single image into multiple images, one per RGBA/HSL channel. There's also some image formats that Gimp supports that Krita does not. But that's it. The

The energy densities of modern batteries are a couple factors lower than that of gasoline, and much lower than TNT. Gasoline is incredibly energy-dense, but its energy density is comparable to butter. Do you worry about sticks of butter exp

There's very little fluorine-containing anything in the size of cell used in wireless headphones. Note that the article you linked used many amp-hours worth of batteries for each test, and they took multiple minutes to get to over 50pp

There's already head-only MRI machines. Like all MRI machines, they are phenomenally expensive to operate, eat shittons of energy, and only make sense if they're in constant use. But yes, reducing bore size improves resolution.

Yes and no. You can order Comirnaty in Germany if you're a doctor's practice, and the deliveries will come from the central distribution facilities in each German state. Those facilities are receiving shipments from the Marburg pr

One thing to be aware of with RNA viruses - they mutate all the time and almost all mutations are nonviable (unable to infect cells or unable to replicate) and die off immediately. The fact there are so few variants (and there hasn't
