  2. Lol good thing computer systems are so secure and don’t get hacked on the regular. I’m sure putting a remotely controllable self destruct system in your factory is a perfectly safe plan…

  3. If this is true….. Why tell anybody? Just let me fuck around and then find out…. Literally

  4. The smallest and most complicated chips require proprietary software run on insanely complicated machines. This had previously come out. Unfortunately for Taiwan they are more important to China than just chips. China has already put billions into their chip industry after the US started banning the sale of chips to China and they have been ahead of schedule in catching up. Nothing sparks innovation like sanctions.

  8. This kill switch would be for chips in the manufacturing process, not finished chips. And if China occupies Taiwan, China would now own the factory so they would quickly bypass any security software and would have access to the personnel and hardware for manufacturing.

  10. Wasn’t this a call of duty game? Russia steals the codes and controls everything?

  11. In theory Intel could do this with their “management engine” chip.

  12. This isn’t exactly new news. It’s part of the Silicone Shield that Taiwan has set up. You want mass produced cutting edge silicone? TSMC is basically your only option. Even the CHIPS act Biden created is making fabs (which will take billions and years to get running) that do 5nm while today, TSMC is doing 3nm.

    I’m pretty high so take my numbers with a grain of salt but that’s what I remember.
