Awesome and good to hear. Gotta find a torremt next time I’m feeling nostalgic. Bet my crappy 10 yr old laptop can run it at the highest settings 🤣

My only fond memories of Windows is as the Backyard Baseball machine when I was a kid… It probably won’t even run that game anymore

Those Weird Al fans will be very disappointed

Nope not TMI. Feel free to share… you seem to be handling your problems well. Even if things get tougher, I can tell by your attitude that you’ll be just fine :)

Hang in there, things will be better soon. Happy to hear you’re seeing your doctor soon, hopefully they’ll hook you up with a better med. In the meantime, try to take it easy on yourself. You’re awesome, don’t forget that

No, it’s going to require extreme salaries, because there are so many options for the qualified people in the Phoenix area. TSMC’s reputation precedes them and people would rather work at Intel or NXP or ONsemi or anywhere else for less money, than to work for them

If you let me know how to help you, then I’m in. I have a raspberry pi 4 and some external hard drives. That’s it. But I also have some money and would rather help you than host a lonely instance, Mr skankhunt

MS unintentionally creating awareness, gotta love it. I hope this leads to an increase in donations. While Mr. Gates is busy pretending to be Saint of Africa, there’s people starving on his doorstep.

Yes

Commenting because I’m also interested

No, Intel tried a novel architecture (different from TSMC) and it was found to be unviable. They basically wasted a few years going down the wrong path. They have incredible engineers and will catch up. We’re at a point where the technology is limited by the machines they buy, which Intel and TSMC have the same vendors. They are behind because they went down a fruitless path, but they switched course and are now playing catch-up

Why do people keep saying this? There are many fans in the US. And for those that manufacture abroad, they still design their chips hear, ie Apple. People don’t want to work at TSMC precisely because there are alternatives. Intel is demanding, but TSMC has a horrible track record regarding respecting their workers and safety. They don’t even lock out electricity or gases on their tools when they’re being worked on. As a personal anecdote, I received an offer from a company that paid much better to work at TSMC, but declined the offer based on the customer. Luckily a couple months later I found another job at the site I wanted that paid a little better even.

Intel recycles nearly 100% of the water they use, I’m sure TSMC will do something similar. They need to do a ridiculous amount of processing to make it suitable to return to the city supply anyways, so they just found a way to reuse

And it’s why I only use electrodes attached to my head that reads my thoughts

My job requires me to go in bc I physically fix machines, so wouldn’t be able to complete my tasks from home. I’ve convinced myself I like it because it gives me a definitive separation between work and home. But I’ve never had a WFH job and would probably end up liking that a lot more tbh

I just swap between lemmy.world and lemm.ee whenever one of them goes down. They’re the first two options on the app I use lol

This concept is revolutionary! What should we call this new form of information delivery?

When I walk into the building I work at there is a disclaimer that they are using facial recognition. I don’t know if this is reality or a scare tactic, but based on the industry I would assume they’re just using it for free AI training

My only guess is that they would hope Taiwan would pressure the other countries to shape up. But that makes no sense based on the culture/religion of Malaysia and Indonesia vs Taiwan so idk

Hang in there Jase. I know life is hard but if you need someone to talk to feel free to message me
