In recent years China has made significant strides in developing its own semiconductor industry with things like Huawei's HiSilicon, Loongson, StarFive, MilkV, etc. I would call that China outlasted the US sanctions barrage from the US. Chinese investment in fabrication technologies, while not anyway near cutting edge is getting to be near good enough. With things like Intel looking shaky and the rise of Risc-V and ARM we are steadily moving forwards towards the hopeful future of open standards, hardware and software, where most consumer computation devices will have built in Chinese backdoors instead of American ones.

I wonder how well ternary computing and optical computing complement each other. Both might as well be meaningless buzzwords to me, but those seem to be the least meme tier future paradigms in how we do computing in the future apart from just binary silicon semiconductors.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-china-built-its-manhattan-project-rival-west-ai-chips-2025-12-17/
>In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance
>Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor. It was built by a team of former engineers from Dutch semiconductor giant ASML (ASML.AS), opens new tab who reverse-engineered the company's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines or EUVs
>EUV machines sit at the heart of a technological Cold War. They use beams of extreme ultraviolet light to etch circuits thousands of times thinner than a human hair onto silicon wafers, currently a capability monopolized by the West. The smaller the circuits, the more powerful the chips.
>In April, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said that China would need "many, many years" to develop such technology. But the existence of this prototype suggests China may be years closer to achieving semiconductor independence than analysts anticipated.
>Nevertheless, China still faces major technical challenges, particularly in replicating the precision optical systems that Western suppliers produce.
>The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.
>The project falls under the country's semiconductor strategy, which state media has identified as being run by Xi Jinping confidant Ding Xuexiang, who heads the Communist Party's Central Science and Technology Commission.

Who the fuck was it that says Lunduke was a good guy? He's a rightoid now which I already knew due to his petit bourgeois class status and that debate with Stallman on free software.

Now all his videos are about h1b and discrimination against whites and pronouns and shit.

Feels good to be vindicated as opposed to the people on /tech/ who said hes a good guy or whatevr.

Feel free to discuss any consumer electronic products you use.
Picture two are my Chi-Fi: Tin-HIFI T2.
They're mostly neutral with some deviation in the highs.
Much less bass heavy than most Chi-Fi judging from the graphs.

Picture one is my phone, an ironic branding for a midrange device.
Am hoping to install Lineage 21+ after an unlock token arrives.
Interesting apps are as follows:

- NewPipe (youtube alternative)
- personalDNSfilter (global adblock)
- KurobaEx-Beta (leftypol client)
- Obsidian (note taking software)
- OsmAnd (google maps alternative)
- Messanger (RCS is a monopoly)
- Aurora Store (bad play replacement)

Should I buy this as a beginner comrade? In my country it costs 2 dollars.

Not an ESP32 controlled board, but if you want you can get that instead
>>32025
Check out AliExpress, search "ESP32" (or "Arduino" or something like that)

>a textbook on electronic theory. It's long, but written for beginners
You need the basics to really get the value from that reference manual. Try the Floyd series (circuits, electronics, digital, analog) which skips the calculus physics stuff that non-engineers can ignore at first

I wanna buy some headphones to go outside i don't want to spend more than 100€ on them. I want them to be mostly durable and secondly to have good sound quality, also i don't want to look like a jackass while wearing them, any suggestions?

cute mouse

Is there some site with a bunch of html/css templates? No JS included.

Bonus points for simple, 90s-2000s looks. I don't want to use a generator but i don't want to start from scratch because it has been too long

So I'm still very happy with my t430 except for a major annoying thing which is the noise. I want to get a laptop with good gnu/linux support that's fairly quiet.

I was thinking about getting a refurbished x1 carbon, but i don't really know if that's a good idea, maybe I'm ready to pay a bit more for a decent machine but preferably cheap.

So should be quiet + good linux support + more powerfully then the t430.

How do I start enjoying programming again? I used to love to do that shit before I actually started working as one.

There are so interesting things to write and deploy outside your working hours.
Just separate your working and hobby domains in your head.

Pick up a language you do not use in work.

What are some of those interesting things?

I didn't want to post this in /tech/ instead of /leftypol/ because I feel like it will languish in obscurity here, but I found this guy interesting because he's clearly petty bourgeois, and has that kind of "middle class" 1st world outlook, but his language and thinking are approaching Marxism at certain points, and he even uses terms like 'means of production'. Nevertheless I think he vastly overstates the impact AI is going to have. I just found this video very interesting in terms of its perspective. It might be a really fascinating time capsule in 20 years.

I’ve royally fucked up lefty tech comrades, i accidentally spilled water over the keyboard of my old macbook… and it powered off almost instantly.

Dried it off, unplugged it and it’s now sitting upside down next to a dehumidifier… is there any chance it’ll survive?

If not, can you guys recommend me and good laptops i could get second hand? (I need one for uni). Ideally one that can run some variation of linux (no clue how linux works but i don’t want to use windows and can’t afford another macbook)

Any advice on dealing with this? Don’t want to spend too much on repairs

>>32012
Battery is clearly charging, idk why it says that

Gonna unplug it anyway and leave it for a while

>>32012
Ah that means the battery is probs what got wet then. I'd say just keep it plugged in.
