If China attacks Taiwan, the first thing I’ll do is to buy a high end graphics card and CPU. These parts will be impossible to buy for at least a decade. (should Taiwan be actually occupied)
As a German it’s also one more reason to hate Hitler. Supposedly he liked Germans. But what he actually did was fuck Germany so hard, we would not recover for decades. Just imagine the advancements if Europe were not destroyed in WW2! So much value was lost. Most importantly the knowledge of people who died or were forced to flee.
I don’t know if it’s a decade, aren’t new next-gen (or maybe it was next-next gen) foundries being built in Europe and the US? The actual machines to make the machines that make the hardware is made in Europe IIRC.
They’re not wrong though.
