TSMC’s new custom-designed employee-exclusive 20-inch suitcase is pretty awesome to behold. However, semiconductor analystRay Wanghas observed that lucky owners are reselling them for up to US$16,700 (NT$500,000) on online marketplaces in Taiwan. TSMC custom-branded products are highly coveted inside and outside of its employee base. We have seen many new TSMC custom employee-exclusive products become collectors’ items, like TSMC Starbucks mugs and even co-brandedsnack products. Due to the rarity of TSMC-branded items and their restricted employee-only initial sale, even new releases can command significant premiums on resale marketplaces....

When Apple began to build its own processors for iPhones and iPads in 2009 – 2010, it initially used Samsung Foundry, but after custom silicon became a key advantage of iPhones over rivals in the early 2010s, the company began to explore other makers as Samsung was Apple’s primary rival at the time. The company considered using Intel Custom Foundry (ICF) and Texas Instruments but quickly realized the ICF was not tailored for external customers at all, while TI did not have advanced process technologies....

Researchers fromIBM, IMEC, Samsung, and TSMC will present their latest work on vertically-stacked complementary field-effect transistors (CFETs) at the upcoming International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in December 2024, reportseeNewsEurope. CFET is usually seen as a successor to gate-all-around transistors that will enable future technology scaling, but the industry has yet to adopt GAA FETs for mass production. The idea of CFETs, which stack n-type and p-type transistors on top of each other, was first proposed by the IMEC research institute in 2018....

The mouse and keyboard are the tried and tested companions for PC gaming. However, some modern games have a better gameplay experience with a controller instead. (e.g., Fall Guys) Users can also take advantage of the haptic motor built into controllers for an added immersion. If you own a Playstation 4, I bet you’d like to use the controllers sometimes for PC gaming. However, unlike competitor Xbox’s controllers, they are not natively compatible with Windows....

Using normal images as a background is old school. So, why not use live wallpapers that make our device look more interactive? Unfortunately, the service may not function if our device lacks this built-in feature. Therefore, we require third-party services to use live wallpapers on some PCs and mobile phones. If you’ve used live wallpapers lately, you know how frustrating it is when the feature stops working. But, no worries! This article will give you an insight into why we can’t use live wallpapers and the possible methods to fix these issues....

Microsoft has its own line of defense called the Windows Defender to protect Windows devices against malware. But What if the defender stops working? Yes, it does happen, and it is mostly caused byglitches in the registry,group policy, orconflicts created by third-party software. The defender not working leaves the PC completely vulnerable to attacks. Do not worry as it can befixedwith some slightchanges in the windows settings. We have compiled a list of alternatives to try out....

Over the past year, SafeBreach researcher and former Brazilian jiu-jitsu athlete Anon Leviev has developed a proof-of-conceptWindows Downdatetool. This tool has been demonstrated to invisibly hijack the Windows Update process to make an “invisible, persistent, and irreversible” downgrade to critical OS components. It effectively undoes pastsecurityupdates and allows an entire system to hijack through any resultant vulnerabilities. So, good news first: Anon Leviev has only done this to help address these issues and hopefully prevent users and organizations from falling prey to such a malicious cyber attack....
