Today I read that TSMC has killed switches built into its EUV machines as if warning China that they would disconnect their factories if they invade Taiwan. Do they assume that the Chinese government would steal all of Taiwan's private property if they invade the island? Isn't that "the thief believes that everybody is like him"? But if so, would you rather not have chips than have them even if they were made by Chinese? And the worst thing is, are chip factories safe, and can they be boycotted externally, and now knowing that this could be the case? Because just as its manufacturer can remotely disable the machine, so could a computer soldier, or worse yet a pirate claiming a ransom. If it were my responsibility to lead TSMC or Taiwan, I would demand the elimination of these mechanisms immediately or legislate against them. Sometimes the remedy is worse than the disease.  Versión original en castellano: Hoy leo que TSMC puede matar remotamente sus máquinas litogŕafic...

2023 was the year when LiGnux became better for gaming at least in FPS (before the GNU/Linux desktop year, who would have guessed), but still there is a lot of market share to grow to, including future ARM laptops.  If you are a gamer, 2023 was the handheld year, and when gamers realized that GNU/Linux (or LiGnux because Android and Chrome OS are non GNU Linux) is better for gaming, even MS Windows games. Benchmarks show Linux runs Windows games faster than Windows https://www.computerbase.de/2023-12/welche-linux-distribution-zum-spielen/2/ BUT, and it is a big BUT, despite a lot of people using the Steam Deck there is not detected yet a migration to LiGnux on their desktop gaming PC. I think that Steam should make - A Steam Controller 2 with the Steam Deck layout,  (that I think will be sold as hot bread, for PC and for handhelds when plugged to a TV). - A Steam OS ISO,  (compatible with Ventoy, and easy to doble boot, and to be installed as MS WSL - inside windows -) - ...

 Me gustan cada vez menos los programas de talentos musicales en España por su uso excesivo del inglés. Yo se inglés, soy doctor con mención internacional, es decir puedo dar clases en inglés a estudiantes universitarios sin tener que examinarme cada 4 años del C2 (que es la otra manera). Y considero mucho mejores las versiones que puedan hacer nativos en inglés solo por ese motivo, y siempre hay excepciones, pero no recuerdo ninguna. En castellano y otras lenguas distintas de las del colonizador cultural (tanto que hasta se cantan las versiones en inglés de algunas canciones como "My way" siendo la original francesa) se canta mejor, y se agradece por la mayoría entender las letras, o en raros casos escuchar italiano francés catalán gallego euskera u otra lengua, ya más raro por estos lares. En mi opinión el gran éxito de OT1 fue ofrecer jóvenes cantantes referentes españoles (estábamos invadidos culturalmente, sin jóvenes cantantes) a la juvenrud, y descubrirles grandes canc...
