      Internet protocols don’t care what arch you’re running. Commercial software will probably be slow to catch up to architecture diversification but open source will be right at home. It’s not so dire, even a good thing as it will break the US stranglehold on processor tech.

    This just sounds like common sense to me. I never understood why government “secure” equipment uses foreign or public systems. I know the cost of such a type of system could be astronomical for a country but it can greatly increase and create competition for tech components. I’m at the point where if you need internet access to function in everyday society then that needs to be provided by the government and a system like the one I described could fill that void and create a lot of jobs.

            Agreed that it’s not for everyone, sorry if it came across as “every country”. The US just recently passed the chips act which included huge funding for private sector semiconductor manufacturing. Even Bernie Sanders came out against it referring to it as a “blank check” for the industry. Just tired of everyday survival needs in society only being catered by private companies (with government subsidies) while completely hindering any competition from a public institution (just look at tax preparation, high-speed internet, even NOAA has been attacked for their weather services).

            With the new announcement on tariffs I see prices skyrocketing again. We don’t have a fair market, just large monopolies that can’t be touched because of lobbying control. Having a public option for purchases could help with price gouging as well which has been going on since the pandemic.

            Antitrust concerns - In February 2024, the antitrust think tank American Economic Liberties Project released a report evaluating the state of the semiconductor industry after the CHIPS and Science Act passed. It found that the Act was insufficient in dealing with what it saw as the effective monopolization and monopsony of the American semiconductor industry by TSMC and by ‘fabless’ semiconductor firms that practiced routine outsourcing, such as Nvidia and Apple Inc., the result of shareholder-driven decisions. It also found the Act was insufficient in shoring up American mid-level, consumer market-oriented manufacturing by increasing competition and resiliency there. source
