process-based sandboxing has hardware support and thus stronger defenses against things like spectre. So far every CPU on the market has only elected to address spectre as it relates to crossing ring or process boundaries. Nobody has added

WASM sacrifices guest security & performance in order to provide mediocre host sandboxing, though. It might be a useful tradeoff sometimes, but proper process-based sandboxing is so much stronger and lets the guest also have full securi

This isn't a Chinese government ban, though. It's a US export restriction, not a Chinese import restriction. So why would the Chinese government do anything at all?

To be strictly accurate TSMC has exactly 2 fabs in China (Fab 10 & Fab 16). So it's not "none" in China, but very almost none.

Why would you guess Chinese? Broadcom, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Realtek are the typical answers for radio chips, no? None of whom are Chinese? There certainly are Chinese radio chips, such as from Espressif or Huawei, but they aren't es

And also Unifi lets you just buy stuff instead of "contact a sales rep". If I go to Netgear and filter primary port speed to 2.5g, which is hardly an enterprise spec, all 3 options are "contact a rep" which... no thanks.
