maybe they can make chips, but they can't use their homebrew chips to seemlessly keep manufacturing all the shit they were previously using state of the art tsmc chips for. you'd have to redesign a lot of the electronics to make your thing work with those homebrew chips, and end up with a less performant product.

Factory equipment and the like tends to be on much older fabrication processes. It's not like everyone else is stuck in 486 land. China's SMIC is down 10nm now, although I think Russia's homegrown industry is around 25 nm (about where Intel was with Haswell). The real issue for anything like factory hardware is IP and overall throughput, but then, China's been expanding on both fronts as well.

Go 30 minutes before closing or at opening. The lines are always terrible.

In case you are all wondering what their opinion is.

Will this increase research and production of RISC-V chips?

WMD WARNING!

The US is claiming the Russians may deploy chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine as a false flag attack:

This tells me one of two things: either the US has intelligence to suggest a false flag attack by Russia using WMDs is being planned, or the CIA is itself planning such an attack to frame Russia.

Keep an eye out for glowie shenanigans lads...

Nonsense. I refuse to believe there are WMDs until that bloated sun baked turd Colin Powell gets up on stage with a vial of sugar claiming it'll kill everyone.

Arm has a Chinese branch, and AMD's been licensing its Zen technology out to China as well. Reminder that the USA is not going to embargo China. Ain't gonna happen, no how, no way. The idea that Russia's going to be cut off from much of anything long term is ridiculous. It's just going to have to reorient a lot of its importation of finished goods toward China.

I guess my question is more relevant to the virus and factory fires messing up production in china than russian sanctions.

Thread music, for 'muricans only:

 

[NJBear]

It's cover for the Ukrainians to do it.

Whether they want them to or not. It shows that they think they might, and are already spinning that narrative to blame Putin if it happens.

Why would Ukrainians do this to themselves? Or CIA/Mossad or ?

They get 95octain at the pump. Best we can get around here is 93 and its always 10-20cents more then 87 pisswater.
Putin please take over USA.

He died, you get doughy goblin face Karen Psaki nagging you to death as she's dangling a vial of Joe anti-dementia cocktail as proof RUSSIA LIES.

The Bioweapons labs were made under Obama

Probably not this. Russian army and russian population by a extent is pretty nostalgic for the USSR.
Modern Russia is uses a zombified almalgamation of the symbolism from opposing groups tho.

The only time the Russians used a V symbol was in this context.

I woke up a little when I read "anthrax."

But as previously stated, Russia has its own anthrax they bio-engineered.

Yup. I fill up on base. Usually need not wait long, cheaper than Costco.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

The left encouraging widespread anti-Russian hate and bans, in a country where 'Arabic numerals' are suspect, can't really be unaware that they are encouraging Russophobia. However, in current year Russian lives don't matter as much as black lives, so I suppose that makes it okay to them.

That's because you can't feel white guilt over killing other white people.

 

[TurdFondler]

Nonsense. I refuse to believe there are WMDs until that bloated sun baked turd Colin Powell gets up on stage with a vial of sugar claiming it'll kill everyone.

I'm gonna need some artist renders of the GI Joe inspired mobile WMB lab-trucks that roam the desert before I commit to war.

 

[Matt Damon]

But as previously stated, Russia has its own anthrax they bio-engineered.

Oh, I have a feeling any substance that comes out of that lab will have been 'bio-engineered by Russia', according to every media outlet.

 

[CryptoHermit]

That's because you can't feel white guilt over killing other white people.

Yeah, It's surprising people still don't get this. Whether a "great replacement/white genocide" conspiracy is actually real or not the current progressive liberal idpol intersectionality sludge pervading everything now just naturally creates racial animus.

That's a lot of money. Hopefully none of America's toys end up in Russia's hands.

The goal is to make taking western territory more costly and to aid an insurgency in areas they've already forced the Ukrainian military out of.

There isn't really any point in sending anything more advanced than we already have, it will just be more small arms, anti-tank launchers, stingers, and maybe indirect fire weapons like mortars and artillery. Possibly general explosives or mines if they want to risk the optics, although I could see improvised explosive drones being very useful just like they've been in the middle east.

The bulk of it will probably go towards light vehicles, communication equipment and back end support like fuel, food, and medical supplies.
