Called it #years ago: https://hackaday.com/2023/12/26/chinas-n.. #china is now #manufacturing #nuclear #power #container #ships . This is *exactly* the route that should be gone down. The only #concern I had was #security , i.e. via a #dirtybomb or something. Either way, this makes *alot* of sense.
#uk #manufacturing that we desperately need to #promote is at high #risk of actually shutting down due to increasing #energy #bills https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/6-10..
Ouch, apparently #china 's #drought and therefore #water #crisis is reaching new levels of bad: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. This will affect #food , #manufacturing , #energy and pretty much everything else.
Looks as if #china 's #ccp is #preparing to kick off, likely in #taiwan https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. These are warning signs that are difficult to overlook. #academics being kicked out, #manufacturing being #repurposed for #military , #preparation of #chinese #citizens regarding #taiwan and #escalation #language ... Then the '#economy nearing #collapse , they will need a #distraction .
#telsa #stocks are about to #drop as they are very likely not #manufacturing until #may due to the #shanghai #lockdown in #china https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gordon.. They are already behind too...
Oh wow, #apple have begun #manufacturing an #iphone in #india ! https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple.. Very interesting to see them shifting #production away from #china ...
Ouch, a #story about how a #beard #hair #scrubbed an #entire #manufacturing line! https://hackaday.com/2022/02/08/hair-tod..
Apparently #ibm and #samsung have a new #transistor - but it is so far unclear exactly how it works: https://newsroom.ibm.com/2021-12-14-IBM-.. A lot of #hype around it though... We'll see if it plays out. Half of the problem is not the #design but the #reliable #manufacturing #process !
Very good that #intel is now actively getting their #chip #factory #manufacturing #project underway: https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel.. It's very clear that having these things done in #china or #taiwan is going to be a *massive* #security #threat in the near future. It also adds to #shipping and ultimately #globalwarming issues to having it made so far away!
Here's the thing, if #china 's #ccp is shutting down #manufacturing and the #production of goods based on #energy #power #generation issues - then how can they meet their #growth expectations? https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/goldma.. Add to that a #food #shortage , a failing #property #market , increased #nationalism , a push for #war with #taiwan - it's falling apart.
Some weird shit going down in #china - people are going for long periods without #electricity https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/millio.. It's even having an effect on #foreign #manufacturing - supposedly one of the massive attractive to #china ! https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/top-ap.. Huh, turns out #unstable #governments are not #reliable ! Weird!
Looks like #intel are now starting to #embrace the #chiplet #design #amd have been leading with for so long: https://www.eetimes.com/intel-brings-chi.. It was the right way to go all along, especially as #silicon #manufacturing is becoming less #reliable and #yields are much lower!
Sounds like the #silicon #chip #shortage is still going strong, with #toyota looking to slash global #production by 40% https://www.bbc.com/news/business-582667.. I suspect their internal #stockpiles are now depleted... And this is why many Countries need their *own* #manufacturing and not to rely on #china - who are now purposely restricting #foreign #export for in-house use.
And so #inflation begins, but instead #shrinkflation https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/.. I've noticed this also over the years, but apparently this is happening *even more* in recent times. Smaller #packages have smaller #mass , #cheaper #manufacturing and slightly less #shipping costs.
Apparently #purism #librem 5 is somewhat #censoring #criticism https://old.reddit.com/r/Librem5/comment.. They are having #manufacturing issues based on the #chip #shortage ... Problem is, even #pine with the #pinephone have been able to ship at a slightly increased price. So why is a #phone that was sold for $2k having more issues sourcing parts than a phone selling for $200? Something is slightly off here...
This would be good #news for #lithium #battery #manufacturing https://interestingengineering.com/lithi.. Apparently it an be extracted from #seawater with some reasonable efficiency.
