Worse, Huawei’s main production partner, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., is struggling to churn out even 7nm chips at steady volumes. The Shanghai-based firm’s 7nm production lines have been plagued by poor yield and reliability issues, according to another person. There’s little guarantee that Huawei will be able to secure enough smartphone processors and AI chips in coming years, the person added.

That quote is disproven by the fact that you can order Huawei phones which contain 7nm chips. If they weren’t “able to secure enough smartphone processors” the phones would be sold out, as they couldn’t produce enough. You can call that low demand or whatever, but it seems obvious that they can produce enough 7nm chips to satisfy their customer needs.

State-backed chipmakers have been trying to push the limit of ASML’s older deep ultraviolet lithography machines, the Dutch supplier’s second-best lineup (after EUVs), with the so-called quadruple patterning technique.

That requires lithographic machines to perform up to four exposures on a silicon wafer, with a total margin of error of no wider than hundredths the diameter of a human hair. Compared to EUV lithography, the multi-patterning technique with DUVs is not only resource-intensive but also prone to alignment errors and yield losses, according to Ying-Wu Liu, an analyst at research firm Yole Group.

Yes, multiple patterning techniques are not the most efficient, but they are pretty much required to work with these sizes. This is proven by the fact that every single company that makes 7nm and lower makes use of multiple patterning (TSMC, Samsung, Intel). Huawei’s problem is that they have old ASML equipment (DUV), which is enough for their customer demands at 7nm, but starts showing its age at smaller nodes.

Biden knows

Well…

That’s not what the information implies

What information? SMIC has been delivering 7nm chips for years.

The quadruple patterning approach does not seem viable even if they can deliver products with 7nm

Every single manufacturer (Samsung, TSMC, Intel) uses multiple patterning, it’s inevitable and in no way “not viable”. China’s problem is that they don’t have access to better equipment, so even multiple patterning techniques are not enough for good 5 nm.

Their 7nm is fine, but it seems like their 5nm plans are over.

Can’t argue with that. Have a nice day.

So you’re saying a company should be prohibited from developing a product because it might be better than the competition? I don’t think you guys even realize what you’re advocating for.

Except you’re not dealing with anything. What do you think happens once Google sells Chrome? They release a new browser a month later, and it will be better than Chrome because nobody has the manpower to develop a web browser at the same speed as Google. This is a waste of time.

Yes, regulate the web browsers where you can just download librewolf or brave, but don’t do anything about the criminal ISPs and wireless network service providers.

Unironically, the Apple USB-C DAC is the best you can buy for that price. You’d have to go for something double or triple its price to get the same performance from any other dongle, specially at that size.

Pointing out their hypocrisy will not help anybody. The best you can do is sit down and watch this comedy from the sidelines.

A Russian official has said that the game could face a total ban in Russia

The whole article is based off this unnamed “Russian official” btw.

I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.

I don’t know what those mean and don’t really care. I simply corrected you when you said Wayland cannot be used remotely.

it doesn’t network

What about the certificate installation on windows?

That’s simply bad software practice, which was fixed once pointed out. Fact is that if they had done this on purpose, they wouldn’t have changed it and instead, would’ve came up with an excuse to keep it the same way.

I never claimed it’s malware

I don’t keep track of who says what on this app. Many people in this thread have the idea that RustDesk is some sort of Chinese spyware that is secretly transmitting their files to the CCP. If that’s not your opinion, then I guess we are not in disagreement.

There’s no way for the user to know that clicking this button will edit their GDM config and disable Wayland

Yes, that’s the wrong way to do it, which is why they changed it. I’m not saying this is perfect software developed by experts, but the idea that RustDesk should be avoided at all cost is insane, specially when they have fixed every issue that was raised.

The only thing they are missing is a security audit done by a third party, which costs money and I doubt they care enough to pay for that just to stop all the finger pointing.

Bad coding practices is not malware, that just means the devs are not experts. Also, these were fixed when pointed out by the users, which is the whole point of being open source. The only reasonable issue is the direct modification of the GDM config, which required the user to click a button.

If you don’t want the NSA to spy on you, don’t use anything with a modem. Otherwise forget about it.

Sounds like you made up your mind on RustDesk being malware, even though there is no proof. All of your replies are “could/can” without even a hint of factual information on RustDesk being some sort of Chinese backdoor, so I guess we can stop this discussion.

I doubt somebody running from a government is taking their tips from wired.com

Steam client needs the XWayland translation layer to work on any modern DE, plus 32-bit libraries (which are not installed by default).
