Good, this is what I was hoping for, especially with demand for AI datacenters shrinking. I hope Micron hates themselves for killing off Crucial when this happens

    Just wild to consider the national security risk countries are taking by not being able to produce at least some level of this kind of manufacturing. Its like we learned precisely nothing during covid.

    I think most countries are too obsessed with making money for the oligarchs that vote them into power to really be bothered with trying to have nation level consumer manufacturing of consumer electronics. Way more money exploiting labor for cheap, importing it with false flag container ships, and then selling to consumers at massive markups.

    Amazing opportunity for China to finance their investments in catching up on chip production. 🤔
