If your kid tries to eat their camera you have bigger issues to worry about.

Would the USA actually sanction TSMC though? Wouldn’t that be a massive blow to companies like apple?

keep their code yet remove attribution

He makes a habit of that tbh (See tivoization, etc)

risc-v saw this coming a while ago and moved to Switzerland to avoid it.
