    Trump and his project25 mates are blocking left wing "influencers".
    I'm not actually keen on this guy below, and actively avoid his videos, but the title drew me in and I watched the first minute to get the gist of it.



    Combine this with reporters that refuse to rename the gulf of mexico in their articles have had their press credentials cancelled bv the whitehouse. It is not a good look for the orange one. As a funny aside, i spelt whitehouse wrong just now and spell check helpfully suggested whorehouse

    These republicans getting blasted by their own constituents is becoming very common in the US right now. Naturally the republicans are saying they are dem plants, like hell it is. The crowd gave this turkey ample chance to answer, and only became hostile when he left before answering what had been an entirely reasonable question.

    Trump brings 100 billion investment on top of previous 65 billion to Arizona.

    For those that don’t know tech, Taiwan semiconductor is the ONLY manufacturer with skill and infrastructure to currently make the high end computer chips of our age and the future.
    The strategic values of this are huge never mind the high paying jobs created also.

    Plenty of right leaning influencers got vanished or demonetised from YouTube during Biden and Covid era nothing new, now it’s just affecting the other half. That’s the problem when you don’t allow proper free speech and journalists let personal biases get in way of proper reporting.

    We are talking about the government directly censoring content provided to their employees. You are likely correct about youtube and twitter, there was possibly some nudge nudge wink wink stuff going on there. However, as we have gotten to know musk a lot better, we now see he is a shameless bare faced liar who will not hesitate to blatantly and knowingly lie in order to back any position that it suits him to have. So we cannot take his word twitter was controlled by the dems. That is the problem with blatant and repeated lies viewable for ever on the net - credibility gone.
    I'm also no fan of two wrongs making right. That just breeds what is in place now over there - they did despicable behaviour so we will too and up the ante for them to copy when they get back in. A fucking barf fest

    However, I do not recall bidens whitehouse cancelling right wing reporters credentials, and that for me is quite serious.

    ASML specializes in the development and manufacturing of photolithography machines which are used to produce computer chips.

    As of 2023 it is the largest supplier for the semiconductor industry and the sole supplier in the world of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) photolithography machines that are required to manufacture the most advanced chips.
    TSMC is in the top 5 of the actual chip makers though. Along with Intel, whom you may have heard of. And Samsung. And Nvidia.

    Yup, and in the top three of semi-conductors (of which there are quite a few). But by far they are not the only, maybe he was confused, in which case that's not a great place to be educating people from

    Not all of them are household names like Intel, Samsung and Nvidia though.

    Tell me, Were they blamed for being right or posting made up shit?
    people were banned by the owners of privately owned sites Alex Jones springs to mind as the site owners themeselves decided they don't want to be associated with their content, What appears to be happening here is completely different.

    Owners of private site are the owners of that site, therefore they decide what is posted on their sites. it was nothing to do with free speech.

    Entirely coincidental that they have taken down the offensive branch of cybersecurity that deals with Russia

    I was trying to be brief. I meant only as in terms of the super high end stuff. Pretty sure the top of the line Nvidea new generation stuff for AI is manufactured for them by TMSC. Something to do with the extremely small nano size hardware in the fastest chips.
    Its an interesting sidetrack learning how critical certain parts of the supply chain are to our modern society.

    From a 2023 artivle;

    TSMC pumps out close to 60 per cent of the semiconductor chips used around the world and makes 90 per cent of the most advanced technology used in phones and laptops all the way to missile systems.
    And TSMC can make them faster than anyone else.

    TSMC is the most valuable company in Asia, and last year, the 8th most valuable in the world.

    It's responsible for 5 per cent of Taiwan's GDP, and 7 per cent of its electricity consumption.

    It would've taken little more time to be accurate and say 'the largest' than it took to emphasis 'only'.

    It’s a bit like machining something on the lathe. You can wear out your best tools and time getting to super accurate tolerances or you can do just enough that it’s fit for the intended purpose (or target audience).
