Making a hobby etching thing that isn’t anywhere close to the state of the art is cool, but not exactly anywhere close to what is needed to look at a modern chip.

You’re trivializing the challenge of modifying something that is on the order of 50nm wide and specifically designed to not be able to be tampered with.

I feel like you don't understand how time works. ;) We've barely had any of this technology 50 years. Give me 500 years and I absolutely guarantee you that I'll fuck up some 4090s with some gadget the size of a mobile phone that costs the 10 cents and it'll work perfectly fine.
