As if there wasn't already with the chip shortage, right? I'm a biologist so I want change, but they need to have the new tech worked out first 🥴🥴🥴

The fastest way to work it out is to force the market’s hand. That’s how you get legions of engineers thrown at problems with the resources and support to push solutions over the goal line, you give companies no fucking choice

And yeah, it’s going to be expensive. No one suggested fixing centuries of climate damage wouldn’t be. People need to get used to making due with less

Internal combustion engine vehicles require those chips as well

Its worse, ICE cars refuse to get off tech from 20 years ago, and the fab plants refuse to build stuff that cant be repurposed. Intel told ford they would make them all the chips in the world a couple years ago if they ditched 45nm for current single digit nm tech. Ford instead decided "Fuck it, I'm going to get in the chip foundry business"
