I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.

I don't care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.

It would be nice to see hardware smugglers.

If the tariffs last, emergence of some smugglers is unavoidable.

Add to that that they would be tracked by Kash Patel's ruined FBI, and the risk assessment is even more in favor of smuggling.
