   Yeah, that's basically true, partly though, for example I won't agree to that quotation mark. And what's wrong with national pride? And in what way do you think waging a war could boost pride? I thought we learnt that after t

   Yeah, US tried to use politics to ban Chinese 5G equipments, from recent news, I don't think that's going very well.

   That's another political campaign, run by a Washington based agency, look that up, they are not even trying to hide that. If, I mean If, China is evil, wouldn't that make any country not declaring war to China evil too?

   Then what will China get from that? I mean, we're on different political sides, not good vs evil, please acknowledge that.

   They tried to relocate manufacturing to Vietnam (and Thailand?) due to labor cost increase in China, then labor cost increased in Vietnam/Thailand too, not a very successful story.

   Wouldn't that make WWIII his legacy?

    For the record I'm saying "US is far more dirtier" not "someone else has a dirty conscience too", that's a pretty good defense IMHO, you see, somebody else in this post suggested US should stick a military&#x2F

    TSMC needs lots of clients to survive, fabs are very heavy assets, I said "barely any use", not "no use".

    And US on the other hand, never waged any war?

    Could you elaborate more on why China is a hostile military power?

    No, sold them some old F-16s though.

    Could you elaborate more on "hostile military power"? what exactly is that "hostile military power" in TSMC's circumstance?

    I'm not saying I do not agree to the point he's trying to prove, it's just the material he used I'm against, please understand the difference.

    I'd like to remind you of some recent events around Apple M1.

    I'd like to remind you, TSMC's most famous clients, Apple, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, happens to be US companies, IF what you said really happens, basically China gets a steaming pile with barely any use.

    I believe this is some political campaign to get financial support for certain endeavors.

    I don't want to argue if China will "invade" Taiwan. But what make you think China will "cut off the world" IF that happens? That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.

    Do not want to sound discouraging but don't we already have NOAB? BTW NOAB is available on Kindle, which is far better than any "app" IMHO.

    Mine was in a home NAS server, almost never powered down, or moved, they die nonetheless, the replacement I bought, mostly TOSHIBA models, still works at this very moment, NONE of them failed.

    FYI there was a known recent issue for Chrome/ium with uBlock Origin and TamperMonkey: https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1401243256755785729 Firefox with uBlock Origin still works wonderfully.

    Damn, I have a 12 disk RAID-Z2 with that, almost all of them failed in about 1~2 years, luckily because of Z2, I didn't lose any data. I'll never buy seagate again.
