I mean, yes, but nobody streams RAW video in practice, and I can't imagine any users or service providers who'd be happy with that level of inefficiency. In general, it's safe to assume some reasonable compression (which, yes

It's fundamentally different, for sure. Most third-party internet-based streaming solutions are overlaid on top of a point-to-point network, while broadcast is one-to-many, and even cable tends to use multicast within the cable provide

One other thing to have in your back pocket: In certain jurisdictions, it's actually against the law for employers to ask you for your current salary during the interview process (pre-offer), as that can perpetuate wage discrimination.

No disagreement here; the link I provided was specifically for TSMC Washington. I'm not saying that TSMC is never going to build anything in the US, but rather that the current Lunar / Arrow Lake chips on the market are not being
