@deprecated after the collapse of Rome England had a glass shortage because they had been importing massive blocks of glass from Egypt and no one knew how to make new glass anymore.

@deprecated Supposedly there’s even a chip shortage. Ridiculous, it takes even less sand to make a chip than a window.

@Bro-Drillard I vaguely recall hearing something about the chip manufacturers not wanting to make low margin stuff since there’s a lot of demand for more profitable chipsI also vaguely recall hearing something about hoarding going on in that space

@deprecated @Bro-Drillard I just wanna know where the 1990's amd/intel chip machinery is. That would power a lot of shit if you don't need all the new bells and whistles.But just try searching on ebay for a slightly used lithograph machine for x86 and fucking nothing. :sad_pepe:

@nobullyplz @Bro-Drillard it’s retarded that we haven’t picked a few chips every 5-10 years to just freeze development on and continue to make in perpetuity, with no changes except to fix hardware bugs as they’re foundand I mean no changes, no changes to power requirements or anything; the goal should be total design stability, not just a stable code base

@nobullyplz @Bro-Drillard @deprecated and doesn't have foundries anymore, but Intel and microchip have foundry's in the US. The USA actually has a pretty large percentage of semiconductor fabs with Intel fabbing 35% of semiconductors by itself. Some of the upscale universities and research labs in the US can also do semiconductor manufacturing for prototypes in house. They aren't nm scale but um isn't out of reach. My understanding is that different labs are tooled for different types of chips. But if we don't have access to mems for a couple of years who fucking cares as long as we can have actual processors.

@nobullyplz @deprecated @Bro-Drillard It's not so much the machinery as much as the designs.Rochester Electronics has the rights for Intel and Motorola for sure. You can still buy a brand new 68040 from them for around $230 give or take, but it's a genuine chip and not an eBay fake.https://www.rocelec.com/https://www.electronicspecifier.com/news/analysis/rochester-adds-support-for-freescale-mc68040-mpus

@deprecated @nobullyplz @Bro-Drillard This is literally why Zilog and WDC make so much money, and the same goes with the guys making the PIC, ATMega, MCS-51/i8051 clones, and similar chips. It's an old and slow design but it's also stable, in production for ages, and will be in production until the heat death of the universe.Unlike NXP who canned the 6800/6809, 68k family, and more.

@deprecated @Bro-Drillard I have about 45 555 chips if anyone's buying. The 50 pack was almost as cheap as ten, which barely cost more than three individually that I needed at the time. I've used two more since.

@nobullyplz @deprecated @Bro-Drillard You don't even need that level of tech for most things. The only real improvement we've seen is that with the smaller lithography you can fit more things in a tighter space, and that has made for more SoC kind of architecture, but I think 99% of people could live without a smart watch

@nobullyplz @deprecated @Bro-Drillard Anything that was used for manufacturing in america got sent to china when when the jobs went there in the late 90's early 00's my mom worked at a tv screen plant and they sent everything over there but the building itself even offered to pay employees to go over there train their replacements.
