📷 New Post From Cliff's Vernissage 📷

Found the new Vlasic Pickle Balls yesterday at Sam's Club. They definitely have a good pickle flavor, though I wish they had a bit more pickle flavor. Definitely worth trying if you like pickle stuff.

There is also a spicy version of these, but we haven't found them yet, and those might not even be available as of yet.

Tech war: founder of Chinese #semiconductor equipment maker AMEC renounces US citizenship

> In October 2022, new restrictions rolled out by the US Department of Commerce banned “US persons” from being involved in “the development or production” of chips at “certain China-located semiconductor fabrication facilities”

> Last year, two AMEC executives with US citizenship, Ni Tuqiang and Yang Wei, stepped down from their positions as “core technical personnel” archive.fo/2025.04.18-134925/h #China #chips

I need a momentary button switch (a reset button) that can solder into one of these through-hole pairs, more often used for jumper pins. I can't find any with simply through pins - such buttons always have the rounded fin connectors with an in-bored hole.

Anyone know where I can find such a button? Thanks.

#Trump #Taiwan #Chips #tech
A good read, which may explain why the US is so interested in Taiwan. They’re a decade ahead in chip manufacturing and have an incredibly skilled highly trained workforce.
Ah, I hear you say… Trump wants industry back in the USA, so why don’t the chip companies invest and build their factories in America?
Maybe they would… but a certain crazy right-wing American president has capped immigration so only a limited number of employees can come in.

Felix Salmon on MSNBC Live -

Trump's "announcement" that Invidia is now planning to make some of it's chips in the US is not an announcement - Invidia has been planning to do so for months already. But it's a very difficult thing to do and no one knows when or even if it will happen. Right now #Invidia gets it's chips from #Taiwan.*

Me:
Once again, Trump is spreading disinfo, trying to take false credit.

The same place #China gets it's #chips from, BTW.

Lilbits: Framework Laptop 12, Dasung Paperlike 13K, and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3

Frameworks is expanding its modular, repairable laptop lineup this year with the introduction of the first Framework Laptop 12. It’s the company’s first laptop with a touchscreen display and 360-degree hinge, the first with a 12.2 inch screen, and the first that’s positioned as more of a budget device than a premium system: it’s expected to come with a choice of a 12th-gen Intel Core i3 […]

Compared with the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, the new 8s Gen 4 chip promises a 31% CPU boost, 49% faster graphics, and 44% faster AI. But it uses Qualcomm's older Kryo CPU cores rather than the Oryon cores found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. #Qualcomm #Chips #Snapdragon8sGen4 gsmarena.com/qualcomm_snapdrag
