i assume by disable they probably mean, something along the lines of irreversibly contaminating the whole of the assembly line.

I'd be curious to know how specifically they're going about this.

Ok winnie the pooh, like they are going to tell you

i mostly asked because other people would almost certainly have better ideas.

Besides, if whatever they're doing wouldn't stand up to "being public knowledge" it's not a very sound plan lmao.

no, you're thinking about it wrong. The whole point of a doomsday machine is useless if it's countered by simply being known about.

China knowing how TSMC has their delete key working, shouldn't make a fucking difference, on whether or not it works. If it does, it's not a very good delete key, because china probably already knows how it works, as well as the US.

You need to watch Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb by Stanley Kubrik friend.

probably, i'm just repeating standard rules of security practice though. If it's only secure because someone doesn't know about it. It's not secure.

I highly doubt TSMC is doing anything less than the state of the art practices with regards to this problem.
