To think that in the event of a grand catastrophy, the fragile supply chain and library of knowledge for making computer chips would collapse.
We could fall back to typewriter terminals, ham radio -like internet, and magnetic tape storage. But without the CPU, it would take centuries to make a modern computer again.
Aside from RISC-V, I don't know what the plan for longevity is.

@torresjrjr hey zoomer, what's up
@waltznr good day.
Since you're a newcommer, it's a good idea to write a post with the "introductions" hashtag.
@torresjrjr I'll do that
@torresjrjr what is so special to RISC-V? Are there no licensing fees when designing the CPUs as compared to ARM? If yes, who makes the specs?
