    News Microsoft eliminates workaround that circumvents Microsoft account requirement during Windows 11 installation

    News Ex-Intel CEO Gelsinger warns TSMC's $165B investment will not restore U.S. semiconductor leadership

    Intel's market cap is $102 billion. (A figure Gelsinger is hopefully well aware of) Hypothetically TSMC buying Intel would give TSMC a U.S. semiconductor leadership.
