Tell ASML that that they couldn't ship any new machines or parts to the US. Tell TSMC that if they want to receive ASML machines/parts they cannot send chips they make with ASML machines to the US.

There are US-made parts in ASML machines (AIUI). The two major chip design software companies are also American.

So we're in a M.A.D. situation when it comes to tech.

Thank God our president is known for making cool, rational decisions, or else we might be screwed.

It's as if, like, the whole tech supply chain could crumble overnight.
