I don’t know of any modern soc type semiconductor manufacturer without some Israeli connection at least on the level of what’s described in this article “ cooperation with engineers from … development center in Israel”.
Open to being wrong here but I think even manufacturers of non-soc ics like op amps and ttl and discrete components like transistors and diodes have this degree of connection (I’m thinking specifically of onsemi who make all the Fairchild stuff here!)
The headline is more than a little misleading.
Alongside the main processor, the iPhone 17e includes two critical developments by Apple’s silicon teams: The N1 wireless connectivity chip and the C1X cellular modem. These two chips, designed to grant Apple technological independence vis-à-vis external suppliers, were developed in close cooperation with engineers from Apple’s development center in Israel.
It’s not an Israeli chip any more than other chips designed by companies with engineering groups in Israel are.
Which is all of the phone, tablet, laptop and whatever socs and cpus iirc.
It’s also not clear which chip the headline is talking about, so maybe not one to take seriously…
Fifteen years or so. I been using it for at least five of those.
I don’t know about their app, how well they evade blocks or anything like that. It’s 2-3$ a month and only used for port forwarding.
Air has openvpn and port forwarding and is cheap.
What I’m trying to communicate is that in the case of an ai profitability crash or even just the v and a series gpus getting dropped from cuda support (they’re next on the chopping block!) you will suddenly be the slow guy.
People raw dogging the internet aren’t the ones you have to outrun because even twenty years ago there wasn’t a real investigation, they just immediately got prosecuted. In your metaphor they all get caught in camp asleep, you’re running a race against me but you’re wearing cinder blocks for shoes.
It’s <$20 to get a freshtomato or openwrt compatible consumer router from the thrift shop and switch to wg.
My point isn’t to argue or to fight, but to gently inform that you’re maybe missing a crucial piece of the picture and offer a solution. 😘
You may want to migrate away from openvpn with hardware acceleration. It’s my understanding that the type of hardware built to accelerate openvpn uses older crypto processes that are not hardened against parallelization or quantum.
Quantum is fake but parallelization is absolutely not and once it becomes more profitable to pop hashes than to do erp with racks of dgxs people are gonna do it.
You made the accusation of vote manipulation twice, stand on your business or shut up.
Good job. You should be proud of yourself for making this post.
Huawei famously ran an Israel office for a long time, idk about xiaomi but smic usually works in nations they’re sanctioned in through shells like (at least in the past) Israel microwave company.
The point isn’t to find the one pure company but to recognize the reality of semiconductor manufacturing and development at this moment being insanely integrated across every imaginable border and take a more nuanced and serious view of the impact a chip could have on your life than “chip tied to Israel, chip and stuff it’s in bad”
That’s not to say your replies could be reasonably distilled down to that mischaracterization, just that I’m hoping people come away thinking they should think of more than weather something has a tie to the bad country.
